BOBST will unveil new performance-enhancing developments for its MASTERPLOT and RUBBERPLOT machines at ESU Technology Forum, held September 13-14, 2019, in Luxembourg. Debuting at the exhibition will be the Tool Initialization Module (TIM), compatible with both MASTERPLOT, a multifunctional plotting and milling solution for corrugated and carton converters, and RUBBERPLOT, a dedicated ejection rubber cutter.
Tool Initialization Module (TIM) is a non-contact measuring platform that ensures reliable and accurate oscillating cutting, tangential cutting and creasing depth. It delivers perfect scoring in samplemaking and improves control of creasing and varnish blanket depth. When used for die-ejection rubber cutting, it offers perfect kiss-cutting enabling fast turnaround and precision. The module negates the need for manual adjustment work to determine cutting depth and is designed to work optimally with Table Mapping Probe (TMP) technology, which scans, saves and corrects any unevenness of the table surface.
The Bobst team will also be demonstrating the novel, new Dieboard Measuring Laser Probe (MLP). It is a modular platform that unlocks heightened efficiencies by enabling machines to measure dies with cutting and crease rules on exact positions of creases. It generates measuring reports which can be retrieved or printed, enabling correction of the Steel Counter Plate before production to facilitate quality and accuracy every time. Existing Masterplots can be retrofitted with MLP and TIM upgrades.
