As an official partner, CMC Maschinenbau offers iECHO plotter systems for the European market. These state-of-the-art industrial plotters are designed for tough continuous operation and can therefore be used 24/7 without restrictions.
Flatbed plotters offer considerable advantages over high-volume die-cutting systems for production orders in the medium to low quantity range. This is because neither special tools nor corresponding lead times are required, and adjustments to the die-cuted part contours can be processed purely digitally and implemented immediately with the next cutting process. In this way, prototypes, for example, can be continuously optimized during the development process without the need for tool changes. Thanks to precise cutting results, premium sales samples can be produced for customers for prototype sampling.
Thanks to QR code recognition, completely new cutting geometries can be set during the production process and implemented immediately without changing tools.
Cutting instead of die-cutting
Flatbed cutters from CMC Maschinenbau are the ideal addition to existing machinery. Thanks to their flexibility, they also enable the acceptance of smaller orders that could only be produced uneconomically on large die-cutting systems.
From individual display packaging for a short-term sales campaign to seals made of rubber, felt or silicone and the cutting of leather and upholstery fabrics in the furniture industry, there are only a few limits to the possible applications. Also ideal for the production of prototypes during product development or for trial orders. Examples of this include the development of vibration-proof packaging made from cardboard or a technical die-cut part made from a multiple laminate. If, when testing the component, it is determined that there is a need for improvement, the CAD-supported design can be adapted within a very short time and the new electronic data can be converted into a finished die-cut part. With iEcho cutting plotters, there are far fewer limits to your creativity in the development process, as you do not need a specially made tool for every change.
Work efficiency and fast ROI
iEcho flatbed cutters from CMC Maschinenbau are also suitable for unmanned continuous operation thanks to automated register mark recognition and the reading of new production data via QR code. Cutting jobs can be processed continuously from batch size 1 without further operator intervention. The built-in (and optional) transport systems eliminate the need for manual feeding. A high-resolution camera recognizes the contour even if the material to be cut is skewed and automatically adjusts the cutting path. This eliminates the need for error-prone manual adjustment.
Due to the high flexibility at a comparatively low price, in many cases the investment is amortized after just a few months. This is one of the main advantages of the industrial plotters from CMC Maschinenbau.
