Rotary Technologies, a US manufacturer of reregister systems and diecutting equipment, has released the TCC 3300 Digital Diecutter. The new product specifically targets the digital print market.
“The TCC 3300 represents a new way of thinking about digital finishing," says Joe Nicholson, company president. "The same machine can meet a variety of customer needs. It can run as a stand-alone machine one day, then easily positioned with a digital press creating a single pass solution the next day. The TCC 3300 offers the advantages of semi rotary, using a single magnetic cylinder with flexible dies; while allowing simple integration with digital presses because the web does not shuffle back and forth like semi rotary."
The TCC 3300 completed its beta testing at Southern Tape & Label and has now entered full production running the last several months. “We have been using Rotary’s reregister system on our flexo presses for years for our digital finishing, and we were excited when they approached us with their new diecutter," says Bob Ramsey Jr. of Southern Tape & Label. "The TCC 3300 is extremely efficient and sets up fast. We’re able to finish more jobs per day allowing future growth of our digital business. In the near future we will be moving the TCC 3300 inline with our Jetrion press to print and diecut at the same time.”
The true servo 8 axis diecutter has a compact design using 3 ½ x 6 feet of floor space, and has an approximate 15-foot web path from unwind to rewind. The TCC 3300 uses a fixed magnetic cylinder for mounting industry standard flexible dies that covers a range of label repeats between 7 ½” to 15 ¾”. The maximum speed is 300 fpm depending on the label repeat.
“The TCC 3300 is highly automated and efficient. It actually brings itself into register,” adds Nicholson.
