chines on the market – to increase machine integrity and reduce friction significantly. Additionally, the machine’s patent-pending nip position, coupled with a larger diame- ter anvil cylinder, enhances the smoothness of operation.

To keep up with today’s fast-paced corrugated market, box makers are demanding more capable systems that keep up with their high-speed and high-volume produc- tion needs. There’s also a growing requirement for sys- tems that can efficiently manage a wide range of materi- als and complex configurations without compromising on quality or efficiency. “Customers are now demanding more versatility and rapid turnaround times,” said Rick Putch, Process Improve- ment Manager at National Steel Rule. “To remain compet- itive, box plants need to evolve to meet an increasingly diverse set of requests.” In a bid to address these growing demands, SUN Auto- mation Group rose to the occasion. For the past 12 years, the SUN625 Rotary Die Cutter (RDC) has been a stalwart in the industry, renowned for its reliability and perfor- mance. Over the same time, SUN has made incremental improvements to the flagship machine, culminating in the most capable RDC on the market today: The SUN 625HD Rotary Die Cutter. The SUN625 HD represents a monumental leap in de- sign and functionality for rotary die cutting. The machine features several structural upgrades, including a doubling in DC journal bearing size – unmatched by other 66” ma-

These strength-building improvements enable a 300 percent improvement in load capacity, which significant- ly expands the machine’s capability to handle larger vol- umes without compromising on speed or precision. This increased capacity also allows for more versatile produc- tion options, accommodating a wider range of corrugated board types and thicknesses, including heavy-weight pa- per and double-wall configurations. Consequently, businesses can diversify their product offerings for numerous complex applications, elevating their competitive edge and operational efficiency.
