The cradle feeder permits tension-free unwinding/rewinding of flexible, stretchy material. Integrated edge control ensures the material is fed reliably and precisely onto the cutting surface, and this technology, even less than perfectly wound rolls can be processed without any problems.
Zünd’s user interface and workflow suite, Zünd Cut Center ZCC, is compatible with all commonly used RIPs. To make the cutting process as simple and efficient as possible, a camera-based registration system, in combination with ZCC, takes care of matching cut to print. Ensuring accurate registration even with highly stretchy materials, the system can be made to capture parts of the print instead of the traditional marks commonly used in this process.
Zünd will introduce the new cradle feeder at Interzum 2017 in Cologne, Germany.
