Heidelberg Donates Polar Cutter to Cal Poly

Functionality to Spare
The Polar 92 XT cuts semi-finished and finished products made of paper, cardstock, paperboard, plastic foils, etc. in the medium-size format range. It can be combined with peripheral equipment to ease the workload on the operator. The basic model Polar 92 X is equipped with OptiKnife, automatic graphic programming, and the major functions for an almost fully automated working sequence. The programmable Polar 92 XT adds a number of functions and modes of operation, including process visualization, alpha-keyboard for text input; programmable parameters (clamping pressure, pre-clamping time, backgauge speed, etc.), which are automatically displayed with every cut size; and backgauge compensation for every program.
