Blackman & White to showcase Multi-tool and Laser cutting of textiles at FESPA 2015

  • Publicado el 08 de Mayo de 2015

UK-based specialist manufacturer Blackman & White will be showcasing the Versa Tech laser cutting of textiles and other interchangeable tools for cutting of graphic materials at FESPA Cologne 2015. The company, which designs and manufactures its own range of large format cutters from its base in Essex, recently added the cutter to its well-established MasterCut range. The Versa Tech is the result of a decade of product development , and offers, in addition, the ultimate in tool versatility and accuracy, with crease, kiss cut, router, drag knife, oscillating knife and driven rotary knife and laser all available on a single conveyorised or flatbed heavy-duty table.

“The sign and graphics market is always moving at a furious pace with innovations in both media and print technology, and our customers rely on the ability to diversify and handle new materials to capitalise on the opportunities that brings,” explained Managing Director Alex White. Customers can purchase one tool initially, then add others over time to meet increasingly varied production needs and spread the cost. Dual driven tooling with interchangeable ‘drop-in’ tools, both oscillating head and driven wheel, allows for easy and quick change of cutting technique.

The Versa Tech is able to cut widths up to 3.2m, and to carry out long production runs on heavy duty materials such as acrylics and DIBOND, thanks to the addition of a 2.5kW water-cooled router. The 100w laser is an invaluable option for textile cutting. It offers high-precision, top quality output with a fast return on investment. The machine runs on a linear rack, keeping costs down as no belt replacement is needed, and ensuring accuracy is maintained over time.

“We’ll be demonstrating the 3.2m wide model with laser at FESPA, showcasing the unique design and manufacture on which we pride ourselves, and that our customers value so much,” added Alex. “We’re inviting potential customers from print and sign companies to join us to discuss the benefits our cutters can bring to their workflow, and to arrange personalised demonstrations of the equipment.”
