SWITZERLAND—  Zünd has launched its new pallet-to-pallet digital cutting table series, the Q-line. Powered by new linear drive technology, the new machines’ beams can accelerate at up to 2.1g, to reach a maximum speed of 2.8m/s – effectively double both the speed and acceleration of the manufacturer’s other models. With Zund’s BHS180 board handler and Undercam registration system, the Q-line tables can cut and stack unsupervised, too, allowing for a 35% overall increase in productivity compared to previous machines. The Q-line’s Undercam registration system works by matching the cut to the print, rather than to the board, identifying any distortions and adjusting to them. During the feeding process, each board is aligned automatically – and realigned if outside of the machine’s tolerance – so that it can be fed onto the cutter without interruption. Each of the table’s two carbon fibre and polymer beams comes equipped with two high-speed tooling arms, one 50kg tooling arm – intended especially for large creasers – and a fixed sensor to detect registration marks, QR codes, and material edges.
