Fespa 2013 will see Mimaki unveil the CG-SRIII Series plotters in Europe. The newly developed CG-SRIII series, with speeds of 70 - 100cm/s, are successor models to Mimaki’s CG-60SR and CG-100/130SRII. The new machines have a cutting pressure of 500g, significantly increasing the range of materials that can be used, and a doubled curve-cutting speed to make complicated cutting tasks much easier.
“We are very excited to bring more cutting edge innovation to the European sign and display graphics industry in the form of the newly developed CG-SRIII series cutting plotters,” said Mike Horsten, general manager marketing of Mimaki EMEA. “Their refreshed design and many new functions open up a wide range of new revenue opportunities for sign manufacturers while still keeping prices affordable - a critical factor in a very competitive marketplace. They have benefited from Mimaki’s 25 years of expertise in the market, and incorporate customer feedback as well as our own market experience and R&D efforts.”
On the CG-SRIII Series a maximum of four crop marks is automatically and continuously detected to enable precise contour cutting. In addition, the new Segment Compensation feature detects intermediate crop marks and enables accurate contour cutting of long-length prints.
The plotters also offer remote monitoring, whereby notification of events, such as completion of cutting or an error state, are sent to a preset e-mail address. Event notifications also include the availability of firmware updates.
John de la Roche, national sales manager for Mimaki’s exclusive UK and Irish distributor Hybrid Services, said of the plotter launch: “The continued development of this technology by Mimaki ensures we are able to offer a broad range of high quality cutting solutions to the sign and graphics market.”
