Larger media roll

The media roll on the cutter can now handle a diameter of 7.8in and supports a roll weight of at least 45kg. This improvement is highly beneficial for print and cut applications, including laminated vinyl.

A servo-powered roll-up System 

After finishing a job, the system will roll up the artwork neatly and prepare the machine for the next one. The integrated paneling feature splits long-length runs into shorter consecutive tasks, allowing to cut complete rolls unattended and deliver the output nicely rolled-up.

Increased yield with G-performance

With G-Performance, you can boost the production on the S Class 3 roll cutters by up to 40%. Its impact is especially noticeable on a faster reading of the registration marks and when cutting wider substrates.
