An extended and new version of the XP cutting table has been announced by EskoArtwork. Designated the XP Auto, it incorporates automatic loading and unloading and is designed to complement wide-format digital printers, enabling a full digital production workflow for point-of-sale displays and short-run packaging work. As the successor to the DCM 24 (Digital Converting Machine), this new model is based on the Kongsberg XP, the company’s highest capacity cutting table, designed for high productivity up to 24/7 continuous operation.
The addition of automatic media handling transforms the XP into a fully automatic finishing system that can run unattended for long periods. This is aided by the XP’s automatic tool calibration and a camera system for accurate print-to-cut registration. Exclusive to the XP Auto is the ability to register sheets with the print side facing down, most useful for processing corrugated board.
