Polar shows LabelSystem die-cutter at Labelexpo Europe 2023

Polar will present LabelSystem DCC-12  die-cutter with the latest industrial control and reportedly a 25 percent increase in efficiency at Labelexpo Europe 2023 taking place from September 11-14, 2023. 

The cutting machine manufacturer Polar has been represented at the world's largest trade fair for the label and packaging industry for many years. In 2023, the cutting machine manufacturer can be found as usual in Hall 7 at stand A29. The POLAR LabelSystem DCC-12 counterpressure die-cutter is designed for automated inline production of bundled die-cut labels made of compressible plastic materials such as OPP films for in-mold.  

A new industrial control system enables a 25 percent increase in productivity, allowing the DCC-12 to achieve an output of 10 cycles per minute, according to Polar. 

HMI control and capacitive 4c color display and the intuitive design meets the standards of today's tablets and smartphones. The new industrial control system enables modern alarm management, remote maintenance and diagnostics as well as integration into the digital workflow. With the built-in servo technology, the system runs smoothly and start and braking speeds can be set independently. The new die-cutter also allows the machine to be restarted while the material can remain in the machine.  

‘The highlight is our patented positioning aid which allows a quick and easy changing of the punching tool,’ explained Stephan Kummer, sales manager at Polar. ‘Modernized job management additionally reduces changeover times from 30 to 15 minutes thanks to automatic presettings.’ 

Polar LabelySystem DCC-12  is able to handle label packs without cardboard. The waste is therefore pure mono-material and can be optimally recycled. The die-cutter is ventilated and can suck up waste directly. This means that even acute-angled shapes under 90 degrees can be cut without any problems.
