One of the UK print industry’s most well-respected finishing technology manufacturers, Morgana Systems, has announced the launch of two new systems that have been designed specifically to strengthen its customers versatility.
“These two new units further enhance our range of cutting tables. The Optima V50 addresses the entry-level sector, where a small but highly versatile device is an essential ingredient. It’s an ideal starting point for those seeing the need for a cutting table,” explains Ray Hillhouse, VP Sales and Marketing for the Plockmatic Group, which encompasses Morgana Systems.
He adds in particular: “The Omnia breaks new ground in automating cutting table processes. For those businesses with a growing demand for repetitive tasks, Omnia can produce a great many tasks without the need for an operator to stand over the machine, including ‘lights out’ production of work overnight.”
Small and mighty
The Optima V50 is the entry level cutting solution for short run cutting projects. Extremely compact and affordable, it is the ideal solution for a company wishing to start producing mock-ups, prototypes, and small production lots without the need for die cutting.
The Optima V50 is a single-head cutting system capable of swapping from one tool to another in less than 10 seconds without any adjustment.
It comes as standard with a tangential cutting tool (cutting material up to 5mm thick), a creasing tool and a camera, which in combination with OptiCrop software, allows you to detect printing crop marks and perform contour cuts. An optional oscillating cutting tool will allow substrates up to 20mm to be cut expanding the range of applications.
The Optima V50 can hold two A3+ sheets or a material whose maximum size is 55 x 80cm. The machine comes with a basement workbench, a vacuum bed for easier media holding, and a fold-away-pins system to aid easy alignment.
The product is equipped with a creasing tool and a set of nine different creasing and perforating wheels that can handle cardstocks and corrugated cardboards.
Automate and profit
When you need to automate long and repetitive operations, Omnia is the ideal solution. Set the desired workflow, start the process, and then Omnia will carry out the project independently, without the need for an operator for hours. At any stage of the production process Omnia will recognize and report errors or malfunctions, avoiding any wastage of materials.
The oversized feeder and suction system automatically deliver materials into the cutting machine, which has a 600 x 800mm cutting table. The automatic crop mark detection allows a hands-free cutting process and a status indicator will notify the operator when the feeder has dropped to the minimum quantity so It can be reloaded. The feeder can stack up to 500 sheets of 300gsm card stock.
The QR Code feature also improves workflow even further. The camera quickly detects the code, brings up the cut details, and then executes each project, eliminating cut lists.
What is clear from these new launches is that the Plockmatic Group is enabling Morgana Systems and its partners to innovate and bring to market solutions that have been driven by the needs of the market.
