Summa Press Release
For immediate release 29/04/2025
Digital cutting innovator Summa is excited to announce the official debut of its latest flatbed cutter – the F1625 – at FESPA 2025 in Berlin. Specifically engineered for wide-format printing professionals, the F1625 is a 160x250 cm (5x8 ft) flatbed cutting solution that combines ease-of-use, precision, and modular versatility, all while delivering solid value for money. It’s the ideal format for handling both rigid and roll media, empowering users to expand their production capabilities with confidence.
Engineered to Elevate Production
With a 160 x 250 cm (5x8 ft) working area, the F1625 seamlessly handles both flexible and rigid media, including vinyl, PVC, acrylics, foam board, and ACM, making it an ideal all-rounder for demanding production environments. Designed to accommodate full board sheets without the need for additional feeding systems, this cutter brings speed and simplicity to every job.
"The F1625 is all about giving professionals what they need most: versatility, reliability, and smart automation in a compact footprint," says Randi Kerkaert, Product Manager at Summa. “We’ve integrated our signature features – like Automatic Device Calibration, tandem workflow, tool recognition, etc.– into a format that maximises knife-in time and streamlines every aspect of the workflow. It’s a true powerhouse that fits right into existing production environments.”
Transform Your Workflow for Greater Returns
The F1625 isn’t just about cutting, it’s about transforming workflows. Featuring Automatic Device Calibration, Automatic Tool Recognition, and GoProduce software, it minimises setup time and operator error. The intelligent Tandem Workflow and Dedicated Operator Zone keep production moving by allowing loading and unloading during active cutting, resulting in up to 50% productivity gains.
Streamline Your Performance
Summa’s GoProduce Flatbed Edition software is the driving force behind the F1625’s streamlined performance. Designed for intuitive operation, it automates material recognition, tool settings, and job sequencing. With advanced features like barcode-driven workflows, rapid camera-based mark detection, and smart sorting capabilities, users can minimise errors by up to 60%. It even enables 24/7 unmanned operation for roll-based workflows.
Create Endless Applications with Modular Versatility
Like all models in the F Series, the F1625’s modular design is capable of handling three tools at the same time. Its swappable tool system allows for kiss-cutting, creasing, routing, and more – all supported by Summa’s extensive range of professional-grade tools and .accessories. Whether you're producing signage, packaging, or displays, the F1625 is a smart investment that evolves with your business.
"The F1625 and its compact bed size were the missing link in our portfolio for sign, display and packaging," adds Summa Managing Director Geert Pierloot “With the F1625, we’re meeting that demand head-on, offering a format that strikes the perfect balance between footprint and productivity. It’s the Summa flatbed cutter wide-format professionals have been waiting for.”
Key Highlights of the F1625:
- Working area: 160 x 250 cm (63 x 98 in)
- For wide-format printing professionals
- Ideal for both roll and sheet-based workflows
- Operator-friendly interface with Summa’s GoProduce software
