Kongsberg X tools for ultimate versatility
The Kongsberg X cutting table is easily the most versatile digital finishing table on the market.
With Kongsberg X, you can invest in the tools you need today, with the confidence than you will be able to upgrade as your business grows. Please check out the Tooling Guide for the Kongsberg X to get an idea of the wide range of tools that are available.
Milling with MultiCUT
The MultiCUT-HP (High Power) is equipped with a super-strong, water-cooled milling spindle delivering up to three times faster milling speeds. The 3 kW high power spindle is a great choice for shops that need extended milling duty cycles and/or who work extensively with heavy-duty materials (thick sheets of acrylic, wood/MDF and aluminum composite material).
FlexiHead
The FlexiHead offers highly accurate, powerful cutting — on all flexible and thin materials such as paper, folding carton, vinyl, textile and more. Three configurable tool stations accommodate a full range of standard tool inserts. Specially designed knife and crease tool inserts are available to produce folding cartons with the same high throughput as corrugated jobs.
PowerHead
The PowerHead excels on heavy duty material (double wall, triple wall and recycled board, environmental boards...). It features 150 mm (6“) diameter crease wheels and additional scoring pressure with 2½ times more down force to crease high recycle content boards without breaking the liner. The knife adapter also offers V-notch cutting, with mitered corners and extremely precise folds for loading pallets, container cushioning pieces, and paper core board displays.
FoamHead
The FoamHead uses a reciprocating knife to handle foam materials with a maximum thickness of 86 mm [3⅜”]. With serrated-edge blades, it can also manage thick honeycomb paperboard. Three blade adapters of different lengths control the blade length so it can be matched to material thickness. And, it is easy to program accurate partial through cuts thanks to the advanced Z-axis control.
Kongsberg Automate boost production with automation
Kongsberg cutting tables are designed for flexibility and throughput. There are many ways to automate certain parts of the finishing workflow, no matter what material you need to process.
- Sheet automation with the Kongsberg i-BF feeder adds more productivity
- Roll automation is possible as a standalone solution, or as part of sheet & roll automation unit tailored to meet an increased production volume. Read more about the Kongsberg Take Up Unit for flexible materials.
- Multizone production allows you to load two sheets and to double the production capacity on your Kongsberg cutting table
- Feeder & stacker robotics: Robotic automation brings new advantages to material handling like stacking and feeding
To find out more about automation please visit our Kongsberg automation page.
Powerful software integration
i-cut Production Console
i-cut Production Console is the next generation front-end for efficient operation of Kongsberg cutting tables.
The intuitive, completely redesigned, user interface enables straightforward and efficient operation. The improved front-end allows operators to get the most out of the Kongsberg tables while optimizing day to day production.
i-cut Suite: the power to optimize large-format production
Eliminate errors, save time and reduce waste with i-cut Suite, the industry standard design-to-print-to-cut workflow.
i-cut Suite standardizes the way graphical files are sent to the printer and digital finisher. You save time and labor, reduce material waste, better utilize your printer, create the most accurate and efficient cutting paths for your Kongsberg table, and create great quality output — every time.
Automation Engine
Automation Engine ties the pieces of the i-cut Suite together, and automates the entire prepress production process.
Users can build dynamic workflows that automate repetitive prepress tasks, thereby enhancing productivity, reducing operator intervention and errors, and saving valuable time, money and materials in the production process.
Device Manager
Device Manager gives better control over finishing production. Work in progress and the status and queues of all connected devices are clearly visualized on screen.
Operators use an intuitive drag-and-drop interface to prioritize table queues, insert rush jobs and even balance workloads between tables.
ArtiosCAD: the power to build structural designs
For 3D projects, not only do you need graphic design software, but structural design software as well. ArtiosCAD, the world’s most popular and advanced structural design software for packages, displays and signs, is the ideal product for all corrugated, folding carton and POP designers.
Users browsing from ArtiosCAD’s extensive design library can find parametric design templates from which to either design projects in minutes — with the freedom to resize or redesign components — or stimulate the creative design process. ArtiosCAD can significantly help sign and display shops do an exceptional job creating structures for 3D displays.
