Cardboard packaging and point of sale (POS) specialist Ability Diseño Gráfico (Ability DG) has invested in a new Kongsberg digital finishing system to boost its productivity.

The new system represents Ability DG’s third Kongsberg digital cutting solution, which will be installed at its facility in Murcia, Spain.

Ability DG, which has expertise in large format flexo and digital printing, had earlier installed Kongsberg XP44 and Kongsberg C60 cutting table.

The packaging company has now installed a new Kongsberg C64 table with an automated feeder and stacker, in addition to adding a feeder unit to its existing digital finishing setup.

Ability DG director general José López Martínez said: “We are delighted to invest in the Kongsberg Feeder and Stacker solution, as it is the most advanced modular solution on the market for handling cardboard materials.

“With its total automation, we can speed up our production and increase our efficiency by removing some of the manual steps that are not only time consuming but can also lead to errors.”

Kongsberg C64 with feeder and stacker will help Ability DG to avoid damage to the cardboard while it is moving along or from the cutting table.

The C64 table holds the potential to register and cut quickly, as well as deposit material on the pallet with perfect stacking alignment to support consistent production with the next step in the workflow.

To deliver better results, the Kongsberg C64 is said to combine an aluminium composite tabletop rack and pinion drive system and dynamic table mapping.

Its feeder and stacker is a pallet-to-pallet solution that helps to enhance productivity.

With better stack height and quick automatic load cycles, the table serves as an optimal solution for short-run production on all typical packaging and display materials, as well as helps to handle a variety of materials.
