When your customers are likely to throw any sort of product at you, at any time, having the equipment to get the job done is vitally important. Normally, as diecutter versatility increases, so productivity drops off, but the NOVACUT 106 from BOBST gives you access to world leading technology that delivers both, without compromise.

The technologies we use to achieve this, such as, matched rigidity, double cam gripper bar advance, supremely accurate register systems,integrated C.U.B.E.3 electronics, Centerline®, and optional Hotplast systems for diecutting plastics, put new products, high running speeds, short changeover times, easy operation, and unbeatable product quality in your hands.

Yet at the same time your NOVACUT 106 is surprisingly affordable, and is even more so when you look at the performance and quality benefits it brings.

At BOBST, we have a passion for innovation, performance, and reliability – one that drives us to produce machines which give our customers a real competitive advantage.

VERSATILE – PRODUCTIVEAFFORDABLE

THE NOVACUT 106 DOES JUST THAT, AND DELIVERS VERSATILITY AND PRODUCTIVITY IN ONE AFFORDABLE PACKAGE.

FEATURES

If there is one single characteristic that distinguishes a BOBST die-cutter from any other it is the principle of matched rigidity embodied in our patented Autoplaten® design.No matter how much pressure is applied, a BOBST die-cutter will always require less patch-up and remain more stable during the run than any other – resulting in quicker set-ups, better product quality and fewer stops in production. To help achieve this, we use only the highest quality alloys for our platens, and apply the most modern

production methods, including the latest generation NC machining.

Our double cam gripper bar advance system assures extremely smooth sheet acceleration and deceleration. Each movement of the gripper bar is perfectly controlled – from sheet registration, through cutting, to stripping, and then on to the in-line blanking or full sheet delivery. The lowered stress on the sheet at each stage means that fewer nicks are needed, resulting in better quality of

your final product at higher speeds than can be achieved with any other type of die-cutter.

The continuous motion of the main drive of your Autoplaten® is converted into alternative motion by our unique sector drive system. Integrated into this is a tolerance-free locking system for the gripper bar chains. This allows the chains to lock into position at every machine station, without any vibration, giving highly accurate register, cutting, stripping, blanking and delivery.

C.U.B.E.3 – GETTING IN TOUCH WITH YOUR MACHINEC.U.B.E.3 is the latest generation of this « man-machine » interface and, like its predecessors, has been developed by our very own in-house specialists. Now bigger, with a full color touch screen, C.U.B.E.3 gives you complete control of your BOBST machine, from setting and running a job, right through to detailed fault diagnosis. With its revolutionary Touch & Set navigation,even the most complex machine settings become completely intuitive, saving valuable minutes.

Some of the main settings carried out using C.U.B.E.3 are :• Cutting force limits• Total number of sheets per pile• Bernoulli sheet braking tablet• Quality control sensors.

THE CENTERLINE® SYSTEM – A BOBST PATENTThe BOBST Centerline® system, which is one of the more than 3000 patents that have been filed by BOBST, proves that when it comes to innovation BOBST is a world leader. Every BOBST Autoplaten® diecutter is equipped with this system and so your NOVACUT also reaps the benefits of this ingenious and unique tool alignment system. With Centerline®, both dedicated and standard tools can be pre-aligned outside the machine and, once the initial set up is done, job repetitions become what they should be – simple, quick and accurate operations. Centerline® radically reduces job preparation, changeover, and repeat times, and is more precise than any other tool alignment system available.

Centerline® often imitated, but never equaled, tool alignment precision.

DIECUTTING AND CREASING WITHOUT COMPARISONBesides the unique and proven BOBST platen construction and know how, this section also benefits from a range of engineering features that makes your machine more precise, faster to set up, and ensure that the operator’s working day is less tiresome and more productive.

• Micrometric adjustment• Quick Lock diecutting chase• Motorized cutting force adjustment.

PERFECT STRIPPING – AT FULL SPEEDNot only does the stripping station of your NOVACUT 106 perfectly remove all waste down to the smallest piece, it also has a range of features that will make the set-up and changeover of your tooling child’s play. Using dedicated or universal tooling, your stripping station is up and running in no time, giving you outstanding performance and quality.

• Bernoulli tablets (optional equipment)• Quick Lock system• Pull out frames• Quality control.

A FEEDER FOR ALL SUBSTRATESHaving a machine that is so versatile in its material handling means you need a feeder that reflects this versatility. The feeder on the NOVACUT 106 has been designed to perfectly handle all sorts of materials, from light paper and cartonboard, through to synthetics and corrugated board.

Some of its highlights are :• Suction unit• Pile correction• Non-stop production power (optional equipment)• Lateral ramps• Feed table• Pull and push conventional register.

JOB DELIVERY – PERFECT PILING AND STACKINGEven the final section of your NOVACUT 106 delivers what you need. By perfectly stacking all types of sheets, no matter the material, in the same perfect manner that they were fed, diecut and stripped, the delivery encapsu-lates the high quality of work this machine does for you.

The superbly stacked piles are ready for easy down-stream processing, thanks to features such as :• On the fly sheet release• Braking brush• Non-stop production power• Side and front joggers.
