Thimm invests in a machine for the digital laser die-cutting of corrugated cardboard, the only one of its kind in Europe to date.
The new laser punching machine Highcon Beam 2C should open up extraordinarily creative possibilities for packaging designers, as the laser can be used to produce precise Designs made from corrugated cardboard that were previously difficult or impossible to realise.
The new machine now supports the digital manufacturing process from design and data preparation to further processing of the corrugated board. The Laser cuts and engraves corrugated cardboard very precisely. Grooving is optimised by the patented DART technology (Digital Adhesive Rule Technology), which enables also on bent corrugated board engravings and cuts are possible.
As the digital laser punching Since no additional punching tools are required, tool costs are eliminated, which also shortens the manufacturing process. Digital laser die-cutting not only works without die-cutting devices, it also achieves this, Very fine contours where punching knives would not stand a technological chance. This makes the Manufacturing processes at a higher level Flexible and quick to use.
„In addition to digital printing, digital laser die-cutting technology is a logical extension of our capabilities for the digital processing of corrugated board. We are convinced that laser die-cut packaging and displays will affect different industries and are currently supporting our customers in preparing new packaging and presentation options to generate a competitive advantage for them,“ says Michael Weber, Head of Corporate Marketing at Thimm.
The new Highcon Beam 2C was Všetaty production plant (Czech Republic) was put into operation. It complements the Czech plant of the Thimm pack'n'display, which was already at a very high level in terms of automation and digitalisation in order to Latest digital high-end laser technology in Europe.
