In response to the growing demand for efficient double-sided printing of boxes, flexo printers, rotary die cutters and case makers are also available with a combi- nation of bottom and top printers to do the job in a single pass. Available for both the open-close Evolution and the HBL for fast job changes, the top printer performs with the same print precision and reliability and incorporates already proven technology and features. “Another milestone is the dual rotary die cutter. The HBL RDC can be equipped with a dual rotary die cutter that allows die forms to be comfortably changed while the machine is in production. Together with the capability to also change on the run stereos and anilox rollers using the automatic anilox change system, the HBL minimizes set-up times like no other RDC available. These features can also be combined with the new top bottom printers for single pass inside-out print. “Flexible and customized answers are paired with in- telligent systems to automate and monitor the production process. A range of camera-based control and inspection systems ensure a constant high quality and assist human operation. Augmented reality service support with the Göpfert GCam.
