The invention which is patented will make the process of rubbering a die much more efficient
The VR-500 machine comprises a dual projection unit which visually displays where the pieces of cut rubber from a single sheet are to be placed and glued on the die.
With the projection visible on both the sheet of cut rubber and on the die board, the operator can quickly see where the pieces of cut ejection rubber need to be placed.
Following the acquisition at the start of the year, C&T Matrix says its customers are benefitting in terms of product sourcing and variety with Clear Group manufacturing and distributing supplies in Spain and Portugal.
Simon Shenton, managing director of C&T Matrix, comments: “The VR-500 from Clear Group is a huge innovation for the die-making industry – rubbering has never been easier than it is with this machine.
“In a nutshell, the VR-500 projects each piece directly onto the die board for a quick and easy placement of the rubber. This is an excellent addition to C&T’s portfolio, and our customers already report up to a 75% reduction in rubbering time, greatly improving productivity and throughput.”
