Esko has launched the Kongsberg C66, a digital finishing table for short run production of corrugated applications that was developed as part of the company’s robotics program.
“The Kongsberg C66 was designed to meet market demand for larger format solutions for finishing rigid materials,” says Esko product manager Tom Naess. “It boosts productivity and, when combined with robotics, ensures non-stop production. This allows for fast, efficient completion of heavy-duty packaging and shorter runs without compromising on quality. By moving shorter runs to the Kongsberg C66, operations can eliminate the time and cost associated with conventional diecutting solutions that become unwieldy when dealing with short runs and compressed cycle times.”
The Kongsberg C66 is the largest digital cutting table for heavy-duty corrugated production and was developed as part of Kongsberg’s robotics program.
Its combination of size, speed and precision on heavy-duty rigid materials such as corrugated cartons makes it a flexible and effective alternative to conventional diecutting equipment for short run corrugated productions of packaging and POP displays.
The C66 can run at 100 m/min, handling either manual multi-zone production of large 2.2m x 3.2m (87in x 126in) sheets or single-zone production of large 2.5m x 4.8m (98in x 189in) corrugated sheets.
This makes it suited for the production of protective packaging with a maximum sheet size of 2.5m x 4.8m, corrugated containers made from HD double-wall or triple-wall corrugated and packaging and POP displays. The Kongsberg C66 is also capable of processing other materials required in the protective packaging environment, including foam cushioning materials.
