SUN Automation Group has confirmed the introduction of the SUN625® HD rotary die-cutter. The SUN625 RDC has been reimagined with many improvements to compete in the most demanding conditions in the corrugated rotary die-cutting market.
The SUN625 RDC has been a stalwart in the industry for over a decade, renowned for its reliability and performance. Building on this legacy, SUN has relentlessly pursued perfection, culminating in the development of the SUN625HD. With multiple installations throughout North America, this machine is set to redefine high-speed, high-volume production. Boasting increased load capacity, larger journals, enhanced fatigue resistance, and reduced deflection under load, this iteration reveals a complete reimagining aimed at elevating die-cutting operations.
“We are thrilled to introduce the SUN625 Heavy Duty, a significant leap forward in advancing our customers’ die-cutting operations,” says Eric Aulton, Product Manager for the SUN625. “Over the years, we have made small improvements to our design, such as improved forged journal design, register drive re-location, and structural rigidity, but the new iteration of our heavy-duty die cutter is poised to elevate our customers’ capabilities to much greater heights.”
The SUN625HD offers robust die-cut nip assembly. With a 300% improvement in load capacity over previous models, the new design delivers a significant increase in production efficiency. Fatigue resistance sees a monumental 500% improvement and a 60% reduction in deflection under load, ensuring precision and quality in every cut. Additionally, journal sizing has more than doubled any other offering in the 66” machine category. SUN’s patent-pending nip position and larger diameter anvil cylinder allow for the smoothest operation on the toughest of conditions, such as heavy-weight paper and doublewall, and for full-width multi-up/out applications such as Protein and Agriculture packaging.
“With these innovations to our esteemed rotary die cutter, SUN is not just meeting the needs of today’s market but also preparing for the challenges of tomorrow,” says Greg Jones, Executive Vice President, SUN. “As we embark on a new era in the corrugated industry, SUN Automation Group remains dedicated to excellence, innovation, and, above all, the success of our customers.”
