Summa Introduces New Feature On Flatbed System

Summa have introduced a new feature on their F Series flatbed systems – the F-Performance mode. Thanks to this mode, performance of the F Series flatbed finishing systems will increase up to 40%.

Advantages include faster up, down and turning movements of the cutting head, which will be most remarkable when using the Kiss-cutting tool. As such, the job will be finished practically twice as fast than before without compromising on quality. Of course, performance with the other tools will also increase considerably, ensuring the overall workflow runs smoothly and rapidly.

Geert Pierloot, Summa’s marketing and business development manager commented, ‘Sign makers are constantly looking for ways to optimise their overall business. Summa will always aim to keep up with customers’ demands for shorter runs, faster turnaround times and more versatility in applications and creations. The F-Performance mode is, therefore, the ideal way to put every single workflow in the fast lane, while, simultaneously, upholding Summa’s unsurpassed cutting quality.’

Summa is also proud to announce a quality-enhancing new knife for the double edge cutout tool, used on their F Series flatbed finishing system: the burr-free knife. It has a single bevelled side, which ensures no edges will be raised in the finished media while cutting. This way any burrs or ridges in the end product will be knocked down to an absolute minimum.

Filip Depreeuw, Summa’s head of engineering explained, ‘Quality and durability are not just words to Summa. They are highly-valuated characteristics to Summa’s entire product gamut. The burr-free knife, which can be used on all F Series flatbed models, is yet another tool, ensuring our customers can create a flawless end product, which meets Summa’s high standards perfectly.’

The knife is especially suitable for cutting (wall) paper, privacy glass film, and polypropylene. The use of the knife will contribute to a considerable improvement of the overall cutting quality on Summa’s F Series flatbed finishing systems.
