Laser workflow cuts the mustard
AB Graphics is offering the upgraded Omega sabre eXtreme digital laser workflow system featuring an improved control system
Two years of development and beta site feedback have culminated in the re-launch of AB Graphic's Omega sabre eXtreme digital laser workflow system, which provides an electronic converting solution for digitally printed webs and eliminates the need for rotary tooling. Operation has been enhanced with a new user interface, faster operating speed and improved cutting accuracy.
A new control system including a touch panel interface, is said to provide improved cutting at fast speeds through better z-axis coordination, with detailed diagnostics, simple operating mode changes and friendly registration adjustment. Upgrades also provide improved resolution for power level changes and manual and prompt pattern changes with the ability to store millions of patterns. The Omega sabre eXtreme II can also be networked to an art department or the Internet making new patterns immediately available to the operator.
Job changeover has also been addressed and the next job can now be loaded while the current job is running. Larger die cut patterns can be loaded plus static pattern cutting for testing small lot material samples. Enhancements have also been made to engineering to compensate for changing web speeds. Technical improvements include greater calibration accuracy, greater tension control and better calibration of material files.
Sales director, Tony Bell, concluded: "We will continue to upgrade saber eXtreme as new technology becomes available in order to help printers and converters meet the needs of a constantly changing market."
