Features

• Offset Cube™: the new compact GIDUE Top-quality/Super-Automated Offset print unit, with the exclusive “Mini” format cassette, with comparable costs with sleeve cylinders, unlimited reliability during the years, easier and “lighter” handling, accurate and robust manufacturing.
• Xpannd Organizer™: patent pending organized and easy storage for Process Heads and Mini Cassettes, linked to the press in front, in a Lean Manufacturing environment, with no stress and no weight handling for the operator.
• Universal Platform™: each printing and converting process head (including Offset Cube™ heads) can be interchanged in all the positions of the press and eventually on other Universal Platforms in the factory.
• Unlimited combination printing (gravure, offset, flexo, silk screen, cold foil, hot-stamping, digital ink-jet) allows for the most sophisticated added-value printing for the wine, liqueur, cosmetic, niche and high-end food industry.
• Unlimited combination converting (rotary or flat bed die-cutting, embossing and hot stamping; special hot stamping solutions for low tooling costs etc.).
• A wide range of printable substrates: labels, shrink sleeves, wrap around labels, flexible packaging.
• The new “sky rail” technology allows for multiple upper web converting accessories.
• The new “short” web path on a “low” main frame with non driven chilled drums allows for easy access to the press, easy and fast “drop-in” process heads inter-changeability, reduced wastes and high register stability.
• The new “open slitting” section permits the shortest set up times and the easiest access to the slitting area, with multiple slitting possibilities (crush cut, back slitting, shear knife) in a “user-friendly” operating area.

About

The Xpannd M7™ is the best solution for the production of added value labels and packaging, also in very short runs. It performs the Offset top-quality printing Xpannd™ technology, in a new compact configuration (Cube™) on a new fully interchangeable Universal Platform™, for the maximum flexibility in press configurations. All the GIDUE printing and converting technologies are available on the Universal Platform™. The GIDUE proprietary “digital” automation technologies (Print-Tutor™, Print-Tutor Plus™, Quick-Cut™, Vario-Gap™) greatly reduce set up times and wastes on a simple “economic” Offset-Flexo combination as well as on the most complex multiprocess configurations.

The new SnowBall™ waste matrix stripping system (available as an option) is a “revolution” for the self-adhesive market. It increases the production speeds of any label, from 30% to 200% more than any “traditional” waste stripping system.
