CHARACTERISTICS

The DC350Flex - a new, efficient and economical label finisher build in volume at GM with the same components as the DC350 High-end modular premium finishing line.

The Flex has handy options like format-free semi-rotation spot varnish, die-cutting, slitting and dual rewind.

Upgrade with value options like Turret rewinding, in register lamination (multi-layer), SmartSlit or SmartCrush, SmartStrip, Corona, web clean, back scoring & inline buffer.

The new DC350Flex is prepared for in-line operation with all major digital presses providing professional label printers with a complete and versatile solution for high-volume digital printing.

Features:

Easy to use
Automated production with job recall and QR code option
Modern platform ensuring quick setup and flexibility
Industry-leading user interface giving the operator a graphical representation of the machine as installed
Industry 4.0 compliant
"Never break" technology prevents matrix rewind break
Web-advance for a fast roll change
Online Support – easy web access and maintenance

Options:

GM SmartFlexo Station - flower style with optional semi-rotation in flexo unit for format free print (only one cliche cylinder) and with registration system (spot varnish / cold foil print).

GM SmartStrip - ensures trouble-free operation even while converting delicate substrates and complex label shapes at high speed.

GM SmartSlit - automatically positions up to 16 knives in 2 minutes, saving valuable time on short-run jobs.

GM SmartCrush - an ultra-quick set knives system, allowing fast and precise setting of each crush knife – also while running.

 

GM SmartLam - multi-layer labels are often used for pharmaceutical and medical label applications – especially when government regulations require product information to remain intact with the product.

GM Semi-Automatic Turret - it offers very quick make-ready times, unlike conventional rewinding. This allows shorter runs to be produced both quickly and more efficiently.
