DC330 Semi-rotary Label Finishing

GM’s DC series has been in the market for the past 15 years. All DC’s are prepared for both offline and inline operation with a digital press. The inline interface includes remote start, stop and pause of the digital press from the DC’s touch screen. The lines come with a number of options; laser die cutting, hot and cold stamping, screen printing, automatic knife box, 100% inspection, web-to-sheet mode (conveyers) and more. As standard, the machine operates in blank label mode, full rotary mode, semi-rotary mode and re-register mode for digital finishing.

The DC330 can be fitted with the ETV330/515 High Speed Sheeter to make “label sheets” – see a demonstration of this configuration here:

In register lamination unit for multi layer / peel and reveal labels. This module is a great value adding feature for the DC330. Multi-layer units sell at much higher prices compared to normal labels. The unit is a fraction of the size of a conventional solution with turn bars and cross over units. This is truly the optimal solution for digitally printed multilayer labels.

Another popular option is the laser die module. This offers “tool free” laser die cutting. Day to day delivery of digital printed labels. See an example here:

Characteristics

As digital label printing continues to grow, label-printing houses are realizing the need for all-inclusive digital printing systems that provide value-added features for producing fully finished labels. The DC330 from Grafisk Maskinfabrik offers the ideal solution. A complete converting and finishing unit, this product was specially created for use with digital printing presses. The DC330 can be set up as an in-line extension to a digital label printing system, allowing the web to continue directly into the converter from the digital press. It can also be used as an off-line converting and finishing unit for jobs from other digital presses or conventional presses. It can even function as a printing press for specialized value-added solutions.

The DC330 can be equipped with job-automation and configured to work with industry standards (ESKO, CERM, LabelTrax, XML, SQL). Job data can be stored in the machine and re-called with a bar-code reader.

The GM DC330 integrates the most advanced converting and finishing techniques available today. When used together with the a digital label press, this innovative unit gives professional label printers a complete and versatile solution for high-volume digital printing.
