At Hall 16, Stand D11, the Italian company said the “new era” of the Kombo Tav features a “next generation” control board, redesigned electronics, and a new motion control system with faster communication protocol.

Elitron executive director Paolo Malatesta said: “This is the only cutting system with a fully integrated, patented pallet management system and it’s now become even more outstanding, so it’s a real game-changer and a must-see for all those investing in digital finishing and looking for ROI in the shortest timeframe.”

Elitron said multi-stack pallets of boards feed directly into the machine, with individual sheets being loaded, aligned, cut and creased, and then unloaded using the integrated Airo Panel for a clean-cut, perfectly finished, and aligned palleted stack.

Daniele Gallucci, Elitron America’s president, said the productivity with “plus 35% faster speed, plus 40% greater production efficiency and minus 30% energy consumption all add up to place the Kombo Tav in a class of its own”.

He added: “Furthermore, the system is not only ready for Industry 4.0 but it’s also ready for Industry 5.0 and future AI integration.”

Elitron is also showcasing the new compact Spark cutting system, a machine for sample making that features a multi-tool cutting head, the patented Seeker System vision system, and Stressless Working Technology for immediate sample production.

Drupa is taking place until 7 June at Messe Düsseldorf.
