POLAR sets the trend at the IPEX
Press release March 2010

With its CutManager POLAR is presenting an interface to the Print Management Systems

The CutManager allows to link high-speed cutters on-line to the Prinect Postpress Manager of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG and, consequently, integrate them into the digital printing workflow. For this purpose, the Postpress Data Terminal is incorporated into the POLAR high-speed cutter. With the touch of a finger you can switch between machine control system view and Data Terminal view. The Prinect Postpress Manager automatically sends the operator a work routine list for his machine, which allows him to start, interrupt or finish operations. Additionally, the machine control system returns status messages and counter readings directly to the Prinect Postpress Manager. Such counts are picked up e. g. by the optional CountMonitor.

In this way, a complete data capture of the cutting process is possible. Any data which formerly had to be input manually from the daily work slips is now automatically collected while the production is in progress. By exchanging the job and production data the P-Net service “CutManager” is ensuring a perfect transparency of cost and performance. CutManager supplies all the departments involved in the cutting process with the same level of information. This is required for making a precise cost analysis based on the collected production data. CutManager is only available together with Compucut, and exclusively for high-speed cutter models X equipped with the Xplus option and XT models.

At the IPEX, POLAR will also be premièring its Xplus high-speed cutter to the general public. The POLAR Xplus, which is available for all machine types from POLAR 78 upwards, includes a POLAR X high-speed cutter, equipped with touch screen and process visualization option.

From 0 up to 45 in 60 minutes
POLAR will also be showing the world's fastest cutting system. In a contest organized last November, the automated POLAR PACE System cut 45 reams of paper in sixty minutes. That is only eighty seconds per ream for a four-side trim with a one man operation!!!

At the IPEX, you will find POLAR, as usual, at the stand of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG in Hall 8.
