thick corrugated board and solid board up to 0.59-inches thick. When we were awarded another high value job that entailed die cutting and blanking, we knew it was time to invest in a new Koenig & Bauer to increase our capacity.” Crossmark foresees a 30 percent minimum increase in productivity and efficiency. Installed alongside additional die cutters, including its Koenig & Bauer Optima 106 flat- bed die cutter, Crossmark has designated the new Ipress 106 K PRO for longer run work. The Ipress 106 K PRO offers two types of sheet mon- itoring at the operator’s choice: conventional or with the optional OPMR system (Optical Printed Mark Register), which uses sensors and cameras to detect a printed mark. Crossmark’s operators can easily switch between the two systems using an intuitive touch screen monitor. Other features include a fully automatic, shaftless DriveTronic feeder (which is the same as on the Koenig & Bauer printing machines), to help ensure optimum sheet travel and short set up times. Four servo motors control all movement functions. The DriveTronic feeder’s other key features include a continuous, infinitely adjustable pile lift; automatic skew sheet correction at the feeder head during production; automatic pile-edge control for exact alignment at the feeder; and the ability to produce repeat jobs at the touch of a button.
