IntroductionSince 2009 FLAAR Reports is engaged in making inventories of the flatbed cutters that are available at major trade shows. For being drupa a very popular tradeshow I expected to find more companies exhibiting their wide format flatbed cutters.
During drupa I was pleasantly surprised to find two new companies entroducing new products to the mar-ket as well some companies that never had the pleasure of meeting during the various trade show around the world.
There are also laser cutters and other kinds but we list here the brands that are more related to flatbed cut-ters that are viable in today’s world of digital printing and digital workflow. Just realize that some brands are more traditional than other brands (this is a polite way of saying that some are old-fashioned).

Aristo• Aristomat LFC 5232
This was the first time that Aristo exhibited its new Aristomat LFC 5232; with 5.10 m x 5.200 m it’ s the biggest flatbed cutter that this company has pro-duced.
The machines can cut, groove, score and mark a wide variety of different roll and plate materials.
During FESPA 2011, the staff of FLAAR Report had the opportunity to visit the headquarters of Aristo at Hamburg, Germany and learn a little bit more about the flatbed cutters.

Aristomat LFC 5232
This flatbed cutter can handle both a project of more than four meters as well a smallest format.
The LFC 5232 has up to 250 control-lable vacuum zones that ensures suc-tion distribution, so even the smallest work is securely held on the work surface.

In the Elitron booth they exhibited three of their flatbed cutters, this is just a small portion of their complete range of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) cutting systems

ZX-1310
Kingsun International Group exhibited the ZX-1310 flatbed cut-ter. This is the first time that we noticed this cutter, that’s why we don’t have information about this machine. At Drupa we tried to evaluate it but the staff at the booth did not show interest to provide information, so we will try to collect more information at future trade shows.
