Paper Cutters — Cutting No Corners

Seeking Automation

Automation and programming are part of an industry-wide trend to simplify setup and operation of finishing equipment, says Don Dubuque, product manager for Standard Finishing Systems.

"This has been influenced by heavy turnover in shops, which leads companies to want faster operator training and the ability to cross-train easily," he observes. "We see fewer equipment specialists dedicated to one piece of equipment, so owners want operators who are cross-trained on different pieces of equipment."
