With the surge in demand for high-quality covers in the book market, the third-generation intelligent hot stamping foil slitting machine newly introduced by a printing company has been officially put into production, achieving a breakthrough in the efficiency of hot stamping processing. The equipment has revolutionized the traditional process through three major technological innovations:
1. Intelligent slitting system
• Using high-precision laser positioning technology, the slitting accuracy is up to ±0.05mm
• Automatic web correction device reduces the material loss rate to less than 3%.
• Support 8 hours of continuous operation, and increase the daily production capacity to 15,000 sheets
2. Multi-mode hot stamping solution
• Compatible with cold and hot stamping processes (temperature range 50-300°C adjustable)
• It can handle a variety of substrates such as PET/OPP/PVC
• Specially developed special mode for books and periodicals, with a cover stamping speed of up to 12 m/min
3. Digital management system
• Equipped with IoT remote monitoring platform to track equipment OEE (overall effectiveness) in real time
• Intelligent scheduling system automatically optimizes production sequences
• Fault self-diagnosis system can reduce maintenance response time by 80%
Actual production data shows:
• The bronzing cycle of hardcover covers has been reduced from 4 days to 1.5 days
• The pass rate of hot stamping position increased from 92% to 99.6%
• 18% reduction in power consumption (equipped with intelligent inverter system)
This device is particularly suitable for:
✓ Boutique book cover production
✓ Special editions of periodicals and magazines
✓ Hot stamping of high-end packaging boxes
✓ Cultural and creative product decoration
Industry experts pointed out that this technological breakthrough will increase the capacity of small and medium-sized Indian enterprises to undertake hot stamping business by 40%, and at the same time suggest that enterprises upgrade their supporting facilities:
• Fully automatic loading system (can reduce the number of operators by 2)
• Constant temperature and humidity storage environment (best performance of margin foil)
• Regular spectral detection (to ensure color consistency of hot stamping)
At present, the equipment has passed FOGRA printing certification, and the first batch of users include a number of national key publishing houses. Enterprises are planning to develop a cloud-based pattern library, which can realize the real-time sharing and recall of hot stamping templates in the future.
