Other features include touchscreen, improved graphics and a new self-diagnosis mode that enhances ease-of-use. A new unloader from Baumann, which also debuted at Drupa, can unload up to four different piles automatically to accelerate the cutting workflow.
Heidelberg unveiled its updated line of Polar cutters at Drupa: the basic Polar 78 XS, followed by the mid-range 78 X and 78 XT, with and without touchscreen operation. The new design features a longer front table for more working space in front of the knife. Optimized knife beams and guides allow for adjusting to the cutting performance of larger machines, especially for hard-to-cut materials and for industrial applications. The P-net is a communication interface between prepress, order preparation and production, which organizes and manages the data flow between all Polar components.
