Automatic tool identification
The T3 modular head accommodates up to three tools plus a laser pointer for accurate positioning. The automatic tool identification system allows for easy plug-and-play management of the various tool options. Knife cutting, routing, creasing, and other specialized inserts satisfy a wide range of graphic finishing requirements.
Mvision-Cut®
The embedded Mvision-Cut® digital registration system accurately locates the pre-printed artwork and perfectly matches cut to print. Mvision-Cut® compensates for material alignment error, skew and scaling by adjusting the cutting path according to the registration marks around the artwork.
The Mvision-Cut® easily interfaces with your RIP to offer you a 100% digital finishing workflow. Repeatedly cutting the same contour job, cutting different jobs one after the other or cutting multiple jobs printed on single sheets become an easy routine with minimal user intervention.
Cut your finishing costs in half
By removing manual labour from the finishing process, the M-Series deals with the ever-worsening tailbacks in your finishing department. The M-Series integrates perfectly in a fully automated, digital production workflow to cut the number of man-hours per job in half, or more. No more wielding knives or saws, no more making or waiting for dies. With all the manual finishing work and costly man-hours already piling up, the multipurpose digital M-Series cutter will start making money the minute you put it in operation.
• Cut the manual labour per job in half, or more
• Eliminate waste and costly miss-cuts
• Easily turn short-run custom orders into profit
Easy navigation
The M Series Windows-based user interface is simple and easy to use. The operator quickly navigates through the intuitive menu to setup production jobs in a fast and error proof manner.
