Kama launches successor to cylinders

Print Solutions

Kama is launching a new die cutting and embossing machine designed as an economical replacement investment for veteran platens and cylinders. The ComCut 76 offers professional functionality at an entry level price – with all relevant applications and twice to three times higher productivity compared to the cylinder.

The ComCut 76 is based on the proven platform of the globally used ProCut and is manufactured with Kama components at the company’s Dresden site. With a sheet format of 760 x 600, the new model fits today’s printing machines and processes paper, microwave, cardboard and plastic with a die cutting force of 165 tonnes at a performance of up to 5500 sheets per hour.

The ComCut 76 offers all applications – die cutting, creasing, embossing and punching – in constant output quality and makes further processing faster and more efficient with short set up times and simple operation.

According to Kama, the ComCut 76 will pay for itself from five operating hours per week – even compared to the cylinder that has long been depreciated. ‘Many print shops are looking for a solid successor solution for their cylinder that will refinance itself within a manageable period of time,’ said Stefan Kleditzsch, sales manager for Northern Germany at KAMA. ‘We offer this solution with the ComCut 76, which fulfils all die cutting and embossing tasks according to the motto ’reduced to the max’.’

A further advantage, in addition to the high quality results, is the faster breakout thanks to fewer nicks. This is worthwhile both for the diversity of jobs in commercial printing and for use in folding carton production. Repeat jobs run on the ComCut 76 with Center-line and 4+1 system after only a short set up time; even kiss cutting of stickers is quickly set up. Unlike with cylinders, blind embossing is also possible as high-low embossing.
