Marbach Asia Pacific, the subsidiary of the Marbach Group in Malaysia, has recently installed a new Bobst diecutting machine that will stay at the company for at least two years. The global manufacturer of cutting-dies can now showcase its tools in action on the
Bobst Novacut 106 ER. The machine is equipped with all the important features, such as quick lock frames, 1 mm plate exchange system with micrometric adjustment and, most importantly, a blanking unit.
“Automatic blanking is not very common in South-East Asia and, as a result, still an interesting topic for customers in this area,” says Markus Stegmann, chief executive officer of Marbach Asia Pacific. “The new Marbach light blanker is a light and modular blanking tool that is cost-efficient and therefore perfect for jobs that have been separated manually so far. Its base frame can stay in the machine and can be adjusted quickly each time according to the job-specific blanking grid.”
The new Bobst diecutter replaced an existing Far East machine installed at the facility. For the next two years, Bobst and Marbach customers can see live at the Marbach plant how a time-consuming manual separating process is replaced by a single, automatic operation with the Novacut 106 ER that runs on Marbach tools. These automatic processes are not only more efficient than manual ones, but also improve the quality of the produced packaging.
Both Bobst and Marbach plan to use the machine for internal and external training, demonstrations and test-runs, and show this new level of the postpress process to achieve unparalleled performance. Also, special events with workshops will take place. Stegmann continues, “In March, an open house will take place at our location. With special guests, and a lot of interesting topics to discuss with customers in the region, this event is one of the things I particularly look forward to.”
