Characteristics

A compact, economical, and fully digital laser finisher and an excellent choice for a digital label press

Quick delivery

With near-zero setup time for existing and new jobs, this laser finisher counters the challenges of smaller runs and challenging lead times. An investment in the LC350 will give you continuous production, increase efficiency and productivity, and enable day-to-day delivery of labels.

 

Cost saving

Save the cost of buying conventional die-cut plates, and spare time setting up new jobs. This cost-efficient laser die-cut solution will increase the flexibility in your production facility.

LC350 supports multiple laser processes and the laser beam will kiss-cut, slit, perforate, and ablate most materials used in the label industry.

The standard configuration of LC350 has laser die cutting, varnish, slitting, and dual rewind, and works based on a fully digital position system. This solution offers excellent register (X & Y) and cut-depth control, which gives you greater flexibility in the design of labels and an increase in the precision and quality of label edges.

The laser module of LC350 is designed to fit into any GM converting line, such as DC350Flex+, with minor electrical and mechanical modifications.

Flexibility and automation

The advantages of laser die cutting are flexibility, precision, repeatability, speed, cost-effectiveness, great quality, versatility and automation possibilities. AutoKnives make production 100% tool-free.

TOOL FREE / zero setup time

Eliminates downtime for setups of mechanical dies, while increasing your design possibilities to more complex and intricate arrangements of high accuracy.

Day-to-day delivery

You can quickly upload a job to the LC350 and begin cutting. Jobs can continuously be readjusted for quick runs and also be saved and easily recalled.

Job change while running

You don’t need to stop the machine to change jobs. The software will do it for you automatically. Save time, reduce waste and eliminate vast tooling expenses.
