We know this is the case because this is now our fourth Kongsberg - we have one dedicated to our design team and now this is our third for the production team.” The new digital finishing solution is complemented by the Kongsberg Feeder and Stacker, delivering a fully au- tomated, pallet-to-pallet solution for improved efficiency, productivity and unerring accuracy. “The C64 assures ProPrint the highest levels of per- formance,” said Vince Tuccitto, Kongsberg PCS Territory Sales Manager for eastern Canada. “With its state-of-the- art engineering and aerospace technology, it is designed to deliver the greatest cutting accuracy and consistency. “Productivity is maximized with the automated Feeder and Stacker, with its impressive stack height and quick au- tomatic load cycles making short run production of a wide variety of materials simple.
