Smart System Solutionsfor postpress processing: Cutting 4.0
Under the “Cutting 4.0” banner, PERFECTA offers modular and highly networked solutions that are precisely tailored to the needs of modern printing operations. The systems cater to a broad target audience — ranging from industrial commercial and online printers to specialized label and packaging printers, and even the pharmaceutical industry. The primary goal is always to maximize productivity while reducing labor costs and minimizing physical strain on the operator.
Digital integration forms the basis for a seamless process. The CutTronic software imports CIP3/4 data generated in the prepress stage and automatically converts it into precise cutting programs, while CutTronic Plus enables external post-processing and flexible data transfer via USB, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi.
The focus for the physical implementation is on three key system approaches
Full Automation with Robotic Cutting (RC)
In the Independent Cutting Line, a state-of-the-art industrial robot equipped with a specialized gripper system handles all manual tasks, such as gripping, rotating, aligning, and tapping. Combined with the BASA Evolution, this creates the world’s only system that processes a pallet — from an unshaken stack to finished-cut sheets restacked by the BA unloader — entirely without human intervention.
Semi-Automatic Cutting Systems
These solutions are ideal for companies seeking a continuous process with a high degree of flexibility. While the operator controls the cutting process on the BP 132 high-speed cutter, the BASA is already preparing the next layer in parallel. Modular buffer and conveyor systems ensure a smooth flow of material between the components.
Efficient Offline Solutions
The automatic offline shaking station separates the shaking process from the actual cutting process. This makes it possible to continuously supply one or more cutting machines with perfectly prepared, pressed sheets, which significantly increases the system’s overall capacity.
Digital Connectivity and Smart Workflow Integration
In addition to mechanical solutions, digital connectivity — under the banner of Cutting 4.0 — forms the backbone of modern production. By connecting the cutting machines via Ethernet and OPC UA interfaces, the entire process — from prepress to data analysis — is seamlessly integrated into the corporate network.
Through this holistic approach — from upstream data integration to high-precision robotic operations — PERFECTA ensures its customers consistent quality, high availability, and a decisive competitive advantage in the industrial sector.
