GM DC5V8-BX Converting line for labels printed on digital or flexo
General Overview
The DC5V8-BX is a modular converting line that bridges the gap between digital printing and the final product. It is primarily used to finish rolls from digital presses (like HP Indigo or Xeikon), turning raw prints into die-cut, varnished, and slit labels ready for the end-user.
Key Capabilities
- Dual Die-Cutting: Supports both semi-rotary (for flexible job changes without changing cylinders) and full-rotary (for high-speed production) die-cutting.
- Modular Finishing: Includes stations for UV-varnishing, laminating, and cold-foiling.
- Precision Control: Utilizes advanced servo motors to ensure perfect registration when processing pre-printed webs.
Technical Specifications
| Feature | Specification |
| Web Width | 200 mm to 520 mm (8″ to 20.5″) |
| Max Speed (Semi-rotary) | Up to 55 m/min (approx. 180 ft/min) |
| Max Speed (Full-rotary) | Up to 130 m/min (approx. 425 ft/min) |
| Substrate Thickness | 20 – 200 microns (µm) |
| Unwind Diameter | Up to 700 mm (27.5″) |
| Rewind Diameter | Up to 500 mm (19.7″) |
| Registration Accuracy | +/- 0.15 mm |
Core Components
- Flexo Station: Typically used for flood coating, spot varnish, or adhesive for cold foil.
- UV Curing System: Integrated UV lamps to instantly dry varnishes and inks.
- Die-Cutting Unit: Features a magnetic cylinder for quick plate changes. The semi-rotary function allows for a “re-register” mode, syncing perfectly with the digital print.
- Slitting Station: Equipped with either shear or crush knives to slit the wide web into individual lanes.
- Corona Treater: Often included to improve the surface tension of materials for better ink or varnish adhesion.
Use Cases
The BX model is particularly suited for medium-to-large runs where the 520 mm width provides a significant productivity boost over standard 330 mm machines. It is ideal for:
- High-end wine and spirits labels.
- Pharmaceutical labeling with tight tolerances.
- Industrial labels requiring protective lamination.
