Labelexpo: Nippon Color to exhibit the VD330 digital label die cutter

The standout product in the array of offerings which Nippon will display at Labelexpo India 2024 is the VD330 digital label die cutter, debuting at the show. This solution is a technology that encompasses a range of functions. It excels in unwinding, laminating, half cutting (utilising multiple cutting heads, up to four), matrix removal, slitting, and rewinding/sheeting.

The VD330 digital label die cutter boasts three standout features. The first is an automatic job changeover using artificial intelligence (AI). The CCD camera scans the mark and reads the job number, enabling seamless job transitions without any operator intervention. This feature enhances productivity, allowing digital label printers to offer a complete digital workflow to clients. With no need to wait for dies, label converters can upload the layout file, and the machine starts cutting promptly.

The second feature of note are multiple cutting heads for increased speed and productivity. In contrast to other plotters with a single cutting head, the VD330 provides up to four cutting heads. This is aimed at boosting speed and productivity. The distance between the heads is calculated automatically and adjusted for each job, ensuring optimal performance without manual intervention.

Finally, the die cutter's versatile roll-to-roll and roll-to-sheet configuration provides label converters with flexibility. This allows them to adapt their processes based on specific job requirements.

These features optimise operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and offer a solution that meets a variety of production needs.
