Elgin International has said its recent investment in a new VeloBlade Nexus 2516 from Soyang Europe has helped eliminate bottlenecks opened up opportunities into additional markets.
Elgin took delivery of the new machine in February and has already reported the elimination of troublesome bottlenecks and its production speed.
As its volume of its work increased, Elgin identified shortfalls in its ability to produce the graphics it needed and went in search of a machine that could increase production capacity while maintaining the fast turnaround times.
Elgin decided on the VeloBlade Nexus 2516, a wide-format digital die cutter with a bed size of 2,500×1,600mm, combined with a CNC router, the VeloBlade system enables users to work with stocks up to 25mm in thickness, including Dibond, MDF and acrylic.
Joshua Bingham, project manager at Elgin, said: “When we purchased the VeloBlade, the idea wasn’t to change the work we were doing, but to speed it up and reduce the manual handling and trimming that we were doing up until that point. The VeloBlade has done precisely that. With all trimming now done on the VeloBlade, it leaves us more time to work on other things.”
