A B Graphic International (ABG) has unveiled its ‘groundbreaking’ fourth generation Converter platform, which the firm revealed incorporates numerous customer-led innovations.
Able to achieve running speeds of up to 250m/min, the system handles both printed and blank web materials. ABG claimed its flexo technology ‘sets new standards’ in print quality, registration accuracy and speed.
With expanded camera placement options, including the ability to position fleyeVision cameras before or after stripping and adapt web paths, the Converter platform is designed to enhance visibility and quality control.
The platform features a more compact footprint and boasts a heavy-duty die head, which reduces heat generation during die-cutting. This, ABG explained, results in consistent air gap performance with thin liners and precision in die-cutting operations.
The extended rewind and waste rewind roll capacity of up to 800m, compared to the previous 700mm limit, allows for longer production runs. The dual-frame unwind feature and offset brake make roll loading and unloading easier.
“ABG understands the value of time and space for its customers,” said global sales director Matt Burton. “The new Converter platform is meticulously designed to minimise downtime, optimise workspace, and reduce the reliance on highly skilled operators. It represents a future-proofed investment that can adapt to evolving needs, keeping businesses at the forefront of the converting industry.”
