Inline configuration with the Xeikon 3030

This demand has driven the development of more flexible and affordable solutions such as the Xeikon LDU. It is designed to match the 31.5 ft/min speed of the Xeikon 3030 and has the flexibility to be upgraded onsite to a higher power laser.

Its inline configuration with the Xeikon 3030 enables tool and hassle free white sheet production. It also is a one-man operation increasing productivity while decreasing human touchpoints. Operations that have no production investment in this area can easily add the capabilities and offer these business winning services.

Developed to work with Xeikon’s press portfolio

At Labelexpo on booth 6125, the Xeikon LDU will show how it excels in productivity and minimizes the cost of converting. Developed to work with Xeikon’s press portfolio, it has a web width of up to 330mm and can handle materials from conventional or other digital presses including PP, Silver PP and PET.

The Xeikon LDU applies varnish, laser die-cuts, slits and rewinds labels, enabling job changeovers with limited or no setup time. The laser station can kiss cut and perforate. Integration with the Xeikon Front-End via the Vectorizor module ensures smooth and automated label production.

Perfect combination

The system covers most of the converting needs for the short-run self-adhesive label market and can run off-line or in-line with the Xeikon 3000 Series.

Demonstrated at Labelexpo Americas inline with Xeikon 3030, the LDU will show how it delivers the perfect combination of versatility, quality and productivity. It will also demonstrate how it can easily adapt to work seamlessly with Xeikon printing presses.

Its ability to handle a broad range of substrates opens up a world of production possibilities while peace of mind is assured with servicing by dedicated Xeikon engineers.
