Digital cutting made easier with new Zund Cut Center

Zund Cut Center software dynamically guides the operator through the cutting process by continually offering best choices based on the material to be cut, available tooling, and quality requirements.?

With an intuitive user interface, the Zund Cut Center encompasses all phases of the graphics production workflow - including designing, planning, printing, and cutting. Cutting a job with software is as easy as reading a barcode or selecting a job from the integral Cut Queue. Either approach puts an end to the time consuming task of locating a cut file for a new job or for reproducing an existing one.?

Key features include:

- Cut Queue, for quick file retrieval and access to the production schedule for job prioritization.

- 'Best-Fit' compensation corrects for even the most non-uniform distortions, such as those seen in printed textiles.

- Cut Editor provides editing functions, including router hatch/island fill used to create pockets in rigid substrates, overcut compensation to eliminate unsightly cuts on inside corners, etc.

Lars Bendixen, sign and graphics product manager for Zund, said: "In co-operation with leading Rip, ERP, and MIS software manufacturers, we expect to take automated workflow, production planning and reporting to the next level. The possibilities are unlimited."

"Zund Cut Center is a direct result of our close cooperation with Grafitroniks, the developer and supplier of the widely used GTK Cut Pro and Touch and Cut Vision registration software. Their expertise combined with our knowledge of cutting hardware and workflow requirements were essential to the development of this new product," said Oliver Zund, managing director for sign and graphics at Z?nd.

The Zund Cut Center will be demonstrated at Fespa in Munich and at Viscom in Frankfurt, Germany.
