Germany based Marbach introduced digital zone levelling technology in 2016. Almost 200 die-cutters have already been equipped with such a modified cover plate for the make-ready sheet since the market launch. There is now also a version of this innovation for corrugated board. Up until now, Marbach could only offer the product for smaller die-cutting formats, as used in the folding carton industry. But as of now, digital zone levelling is available for bigger die-cutting machines, starting with the 162 format, for die-cutting corrugated board.
Without using digital zone levelling, make-ready takes more time during the patch-up of every job. With digital zone levelling the process is significantly more efficient. The zone make-ready does not need to be done for every order but only once – and it will last for several months.
