Esko has launched the release of its innovative VariAngle tool for the Kongsberg C and XP Series digital finishing tables.
VariAngle enables cutting at any angle from 0 and 60 degree at high speeds, delivering total freedom in the design of 3D creative displays while also resulting in faster setup times and uplift in cutting speed. Fitting the new VariAngle tool makes existing Kongsberg C and XP tables completely self-sufficient and capable of delivering most any creative design. VariAngle removes the need to stop production when changing tools, drastically reducing setup time and increasing cutting speed.
With VariAngle, Esko has developed a single tool which cuts straight lines at any angle selection in half-degree increments between 0o and 60o and at up to 100m/min; a breakthrough innovation for the industry. In conjunction with the new 3D design features of Esko structural packaging design software ArtiosCAD, the intelligent, automatic VariAngle tool delivers a new level of creativity. The unique combination of the new tool and the supporting functionality in ArtiosCAD delivers true design freedom. For the first time ever, converters can now make 60 degree V-notch cuts enabling the making of triangular pillars, something which has been impossible until now as no machine on the market can cut at an angle greater than 45 degrees.
