At recent international shows, Summa presented its first flatbed cutter in their F Series..
The demonstrated 'F1612' model has a work area of 160x120cm and a conveyor belt system for roll applications. On the modular head, up to three work modules can be mounted at once. The barcode IDs of the tools enables the machine to always know which tools are installed.
The fast up-down module is based on Summa's drag-head and can be used for kiss cutting and pen drawings. It's also possible to mount a heavy duty tangential module.
Several tools can be mounted in the modules, e.g. a static knife, a pressure controlled knife or a creaser (to make folds in cardboard). It's possible to cut a whole range of materials up to several millimetres thick: roll-material, plastics, cardboard, foam board, etc. Summa plans to expand its toolset to boost the applications.
The F Series are equipped with a camera system to pick up registration points.
