Vinsak, the distributor of ABG International in India, has installed a new ABG RTS sheeter at Mumbai-based JK Fine Prints. The company, a family-run business – is a specialist in self-adhesive label printing and is an accredited label supplier to leading companies in India and overseas.
The RTS is a servo-driven sheeter with a guillotine-style cutting action and is available in three web widths – 330 mm (13 inches), 430 mm (17 inches) and 530 mm (21 inches) – and can cut to mark, to length or to interlabel gap with an accuracy of +/-0.15mm.
The standard machine is equipped with an electromagnetically braked unwind c/w 76 mm (3 inches) air expanding unwind mandrel, splice table with interlocked web clamps, and servo driven infeed nip roller, guillotine cutting mechanism and a 1000mm (39 inches) long shingle delivery table which has an accelerator/jog function for batch separation. The machine is controlled via a 152mm (6 inches) color TFT touch screen HMI with multilingual operating instructions.
Optional equipment includes alternative unwind mandrel diameters, razor and slitting units c/w 5 sets of knives, Venturi trim extraction and a fully programmable inter-sheet waste trim function.
Himanshu Kapur, director of JK Fine Prints, had evaluated other equipment but selected the ABG RTS sheeter for its accuracy in the sheeting process especially of difficult to handle filmic materials. ABG has long business relations with JK Fine with multiple installs of the label finishing equipment over the last 20 years. The company claims to be environmentally conscious and has applied practices for recycling waste.
