Heidelberg to Show Value-Added Finishing for Hybrid Workflows at GRAPH EXPO

Integrated Cutting
The sturdy, new programmable cutter POLAR 56 (NET version) with hydraulic drive is equipped with an 18.5'' touch-sensitive display and is the ideal machine for digital printers. Designed for one-shift operation, it can be connected to a house current wall outlet. The POLAR 56 easily cuts small formats up to SRA 3, and comes with digital workflow integration via P-NET and Compucut. In order to start the cutting program automatically, the machine is furnished with a Bar Code reader, enabling near-zero setup times. Process visualization gives the operator a graphic indication of the material handling, greatly minimizing the possibility of error. Compucut takes the cutting data supplied as PPF or JDF files direct from prepress and generates the cutting program automatically. Repeat sequences can be saved and adapted at any time, thanks to the availability of nearly 2000 memory positions.
