Bobst’s advanced sheet-registration system, Accuregister, is designed to deliver unmatched die-cutting precision, positioning itself as a crucial tool for folding carton converters aiming to balance quality and speed in today’s competitive market.
The Accuregister system traces its roots to the Power Register system introduced in 2000. Over nearly 25 years of development, Accuregister has evolved to offer superior precision and efficiency. It is designed to work seamlessly with Bobst’s Novacut 106 and Visioncut 106 die-cutters, capable of processing a wide range of substrates including carton, solid board, corrugated board, and paper.
At the core of Accuregister’s performance is its contactless registration system, enabled by high-performance cameras. This system allows for precise sheet alignment using either the edge of the board or a print mark reference. The result is cut-to-print accuracy, with a sheet correction range of up to ±6mm in the running direction and ±13mm laterally. This technology ensures perfect register quality, reduces waste during setup and production, and boosts overall productivity.
Speed and Reduced Stoppages
In today’s fast-paced market, speed is essential. Accuregister, when combined with automatic lateral pile correction, can reduce machine stoppages by up to 80% at the feeder, feed table, and platen inlet. The system’s ease of setup, requiring minimal adjustments, allows operators of all experience levels to quickly and efficiently prepare the machine for production.
Versatility with Sensitive Substrates
The contactless alignment system is particularly advantageous for handling sensitive substrates such as lighter boards, recycled materials, paper, and shiny or transparent substrates. This expands the capabilities of converters, enabling them to respond to a broader array of production tasks.
Supporting a Sustainable Future
Bobst’s vision for the future of packaging emphasizes digitalization, automation, connectivity, and sustainability. Novacut 106 die-cutting machines equipped with Accuregister support this vision by automating important setup processes and reducing stoppages. This increased precision and efficiency contribute to less production waste and fewer returns, promoting a more sustainable and cost-efficient converting process.
Additionally, the Novacut machines are supplemented with HMI Sphere, which grants access to the Bobst Connect digital platform. This platform offers tools such as performance management and equipment monitoring, helping packaging converters to enhance capacity, efficiency, and overall performance.
Bobst’s Accuregister system represents a significant advancement in packaging production technology, enabling converters to achieve new levels of precision, efficiency, and sustainability. As the packaging industry continues to evolve, innovations like Accuregister will be critical in helping businesses thrive in an increasingly demanding market.
Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive
The multi-channel B2B in print and digital 17-year-old platform matches the industry’s growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are looking beyond the resilience of the past three years. They are resuming capacity expansion and diversification, with high technology and automation in new plants and projects.
As we present our 2024 publishing plan, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 will exceed 6%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and surpass it by at least 3% in terms of nominal growth allowing for price inflation in energy, raw materials, consumables, and capital equipment.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 45% over the past four years. With orders in place, we expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are growing similarly. As the consumption story returns over the next six months, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and to waste collection, sorting, and recycling.
We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers. This is a large and complex canvas – the only thing that can work is your agile thinking and innovation together with our continuous learning and persistence.
The coming year looks to be an up year in this region, and this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing communication – in our rich and highly targeted business platform with human resources on the ground. Share your thoughts and plans to inspire and mobilize our editorial and advertising teams!
