SHORT RUN CASEMAKER DA 2004
Description
A result of the experience with DA 1001 and DA 2002 Semi-Automatic Casemakers , this new model is particularly suitable for the production of :
- One, three and multiple-piece cases
- Book cases with rigid spine for photo books in short runs and one-off
- Cases with special shape for packaging
- Inside lining without gripper marks
Thanks to the ergonomic design, the machine can be operated by one person.
ADJUSTMENTS KEPT TO A MINIMUM
In the Basic version, the operator has to adjust the board guides to a new size (the whole operation takes less than one minute). Optionally the machine can be equipped with automatic computer-controlled servo motors for guide setting and bar code readers for single case production. After feeding the cover material through the gluing station and placing it onto the vacuum table, the board is placed by the operator on the glued material and from here the assembled piece is fed to the 1st roller folding station. The rest of the operation – 3 and 4side folding, corner tucking and pressing is done automatically, while the operator can already feed the next product.
In the Automatic version, all the adjustments for case and board size are performed automatically.
Additional bar code reading system and optional board cutting machine da 904 is special execution for photo book case manufacturing. Bar code reading triggers the automatic setting of the machine. DA 904 provides simultaneous ‘on demand’ cutting of the side and spine boards according to the bar code readings.
