· 8 cutting heads + servo control: The single-unit A8 is equipped with 8 cutting heads, driven by servo motors to control head movement, ideal for high-density cutting of small labels and stickers; dual-unit configuration can be expanded to 16 heads.
· Speed: Approx. 12 m/min for single unit, and approx. 22 m/min for dual units.
· Job changeover efficiency: Advertised as “10-second rapid job changeover”. With CCD visual positioning/mark tracking, it automatically recognizes and adjusts for different jobs within a roll, reducing traditional die plate changeover time.
· Integrated post-press processing: Die cutting, slitting, laminating, waste stripping, rewinding and even sheet cutting are integrated into one production line, suitable for short-to-medium runs and variable data labels.
· Precision & intelligence: Public data claims a cutting precision of approx. 0.1 mm, with automatic blade depth/pressure adjustment, auto edge guiding, unattended operation, remote diagnosis and reserved interfaces for production statistics.
· Web width: Max. material width approx. 360 mm, label width approx. 330 mm, mainly roll-to-roll operation.
It is not merely about faster cutting speed, but the integration of multiple advantages:
· No physical die mold: Cutting by digital file. Short-run production does not rely on die inventory, enabling shorter lead times and less material waste.
· Labor cost reduction: One operator can monitor multiple machines; job changeover requires no skilled workers for die adjustment.
· Strong conversion at overseas exhibitions: It has been showcased at Flexo & Labels Expo Brazil 2026, Pamex India, Sino-Label Guangzhou and other trade shows, with orders and purchase intentions received. Markets in South America, South Asia and China are increasingly accepting “digital die cutting replacing traditional die cutting”.
· Targeting high-end, quick-turnaround scenarios: It is highly favored by customers producing wine labels, cigarette labels, barcode labels, self-adhesive stickers, and variable data tags.
The phrase “setting a new global benchmark” is a marketing expression. The advantage of A8 lies in the cost-effectiveness and automation of roll-fed digital label post-press die cutting, rather than disrupting all die-cutting applications. For thick materials, large-format output, high-tonnage flat-bed pressing and highly complex irregular die cutting, flat-bed, rotary or laser solutions still need to be considered. Its competitive edge is: fast job changeover, minimal labor demand and strong cost-effectiveness for short-run jobs.
