Bobst has been working on innovations in automatic die-cutting machines for 40 years and continues to impress with smooth machine operation and high production speeds. To celebrate the anniversary of flatbed die-cutters, the company invited customers to a party at the Competence Centre Mex in Switzerland.
„Often copied, but never equalled,“ is how Marco Lideo, Head of Product Line Die Cutter Stampers, Flexo, Litho Lam, characterises the platen system with camshaft drive that Patent applied for in 1982 and presented at drupa was developed. The system developed by inventor and engineer Georges Polic is still one of the most important innovations in punching technology 40 years later.
These Technology for the platen of the automatic punching press - the car circuit board was also developed by Bobst was invented and came onto the market in 1940 - was used in more and more models as the portfolio was further developed. Customers benefited from the smoother machine operation and higher production speeds that this invention made possible. The first machine type SP 102-CE achieved a record output of 10,000 sheets per hour.
„Bobst has always been at the forefront of innovation and superior technology in die-cutting - taking consumer packaging production to a new level of performance. From the advent of mass consumerism in the early 1980s to today's e-commerce driven society, Bobst has provided solutions with revolutionary features that enable easy integration into packaging manufacturing processes. This enables users to maximise productivity and competitiveness.“

The current VISIONCUT, EXPERTCUT, MASTERCUT 106 and 145, SP 162 CER, MASTERFOIL 106 and many older machine models are equipped with the patented platen technology with camshaft drive, which has proven itself on the market for decades. The The quality of the earlier generations of machines is so good that many of them are still in use decades later. and deliver impressive speeds and high productivity to their users year after year.
To mark the occasion, the company invited a group of long-standing customers to an anniversary celebration at its Competence Centre Mex in Switzerland. On this occasion, they were presented with the Current flatbed die-cutting portfolio presented and the MASTERCUT 1.65, the NOVACUT 106 with ACCUREGISTER and the DIT digital inspection table were demonstrated in live operation. The programme also included an extensive factory tour.
„As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of cam-driven platen technology and the many companies that have benefited from this innovation over the years, we also look forward to many future opportunities for our customers to break productivity records and secure their future based on Bobst stamping technology.“
