Ultra performance digital cutters for maximum productivity

This year at Sign & Digital AG/CAD will be showcasing two of their high performance DYSS digital cutters, the X5 and the X9.

This year at Sign & Digital AG/CAD will be showcasing two of their high performance DYSS digital cutters, the X5 and the X9.

The X9 has been designed for applications where production speed is paramount. The X9 has an innovative and revolutionary motion control system that gives ultimate power and performance, while retaining control and accuracy even on the finest detail. Blistering maximum linear speeds of over 120m/min and acceleration getting towards 2G mean you won’t find a faster digital cutter capable of knife cutting and routing.

Typically, high speed machines use rack and pinion drive systems and so will fall down on detail such as small radii; or they use belt drives which will often handle detail better, but struggle with lateral and vertical power. However the ground-breaking motion system on the X9 allows it to excel in both areas. If you don’t want to compromise the X9 is the machine for you - ultrafast, powerful and fine control all in one impressive package.

The X9 Digital Cutter range offers fast, accurate, vision-enabled CNC routing and knife cutting, automating your finishing, eliminating costly mistakes, and reducing your labour costs. X9 machines are perfectly designed to run alongside digital printers from HP, Canon Océ, Fuji, EFI Vutek, Inktec Jetrix, Screen Inca & Truepress, Mtex, Agfa, and Mimaki amongst others catering for most sheet and roll printing capabilities, with sizes available to handle 8’x’4 or 10’x5’ boards, and further options up to a massive 3.2m wide.

The X9’s high specification CNC router can profile cut rigid materials with ease, making light work of acrylic, Dibond, rigid PVC, etc. With its additional twin slots for knife and creasing tools it can handle even more diverse materials, kiss-cutting adhesive backed vinyl, through-cutting and scoring displayboard card, magnetic foil, correx, corrugated, honeycomb, foamcore, etc., and with the heavy duty knife even rigid styrene and 5mm PVC can be knife cut without mess or dust. A tape applicator tool is even available allowing double-sided tape to be placed accurately onto a variety of media so the finished cut product is immediately ready for assembling.

For increased productivity, various automation features are available. With options from a simple offload area where the operator can strip cut parts safely while the machine continues the next job, to semi automated sheet feeding, through to a completely automated feeder and unloader that can process a full stack of sheets. An integrated tool calibration sensor accurately measures cutter protrusion making sure you are cutting to the correct depth every time. This helps avoid costly mistakes caused by cutting too deeply using an uncalibrated tool.

For companies who don’t have the requirement to process heavy duty materials such as acrylic and dibond, you could be considering a DYSS X5 digital cutter. The X5 can knife cut, V-Cut, and even crease, allowing a vast array of sign and display media to be processed.

The DYSS X5 range is available in standard sizes to handle 8’x’4 or 10’x5’ as well as smaller versions down to just over B1 size aimed at litho and small format digital printers.

With its twin slots for knife and creasing tools it can handle even more diverse materials, kiss-cutting adhesive backed vinyl, through-cutting and scoring displayboard card, magnetic foil, correx, corrugated, honeycomb, foamcore, etc., and with the heavy duty knife even rigid styrene and 5mm PVC can be knife cut without mess or dust. Additional optional tooling and roll unwinding functions mean that even soft signage can be processed, from woven textiles through to flag mesh, all on the one machine. A router is also available with the X5 for finishing some lightweight materials that can’t be processed with a knife.

Adding a DYSS X5 cutter to your equipment list can not only reduce lead times and save you money, but it can open up new revenue streams for you and boost profits.

For those where production performance is not paramount, but there is a need to process heavy duty materials with a router our DYSS X7 is the machine for you.

Materials handled:
Rigid PVC (FOREX), HIP, vinyl, PVC banner, flag mesh, paper, foamcore, corrugated plastic, hexacomb, magnetic foil, corrugated, carton board, card and more.

Manufactured in South Korea using state-of-the art technology, the DYSS range is built to exacting standards, giving unrivalled quality, reliability and phenomenal performance.
