Elitron to launch loading and unloading automation

Elitron will be launching automation innovations at FESPA Global Print Expo

Italian robotic cutting and automation company, Elitron will be introducing new innovative loading, unloading, and stacking automation at FESPA 2024.

Supported in the UK and Ireland by Atech since 2013, Elitron is headquartered in Monte Urano, Italy and also has an American branch in Atlanta.

At FESPA 2024, the company will be demonstrating multi-tool cutting and milling for roll materials and rigid sheets.

Launching at the event will be the multi-functional Kombo SDC+ conveyor cutting system with the new Elitron Stacking System (ESS).

Paolo Malatesta, executive director at Elitron, comments: “You’ll be able to see first-hand how this optional unloading system boosts productivity and efficiency as it neatly stacks all cut sheets automatically.

“Handling times are greatly reduced and less operator intervention is necessary, making this a sound investment to increase productivity. However, if you’d like to see a more compact system in action, then Spark is set to raise eyebrows as it masterfully cuts through materials to create displays, signs, gadgets, samples, and more.”

Tooling options on show from Elitron will include the DL45 tool for single pass 90° V-cutting for compact cardboard and honeycomb materials, as well as the powerful 3kW Milling Module with automatic 7-position Tool Changer for aluminium, plastics, foams, composite materials, and more.

Elitron will also be demonstrating its patented, automatic vision technology, Seeker System, which identifies printed reference points and images from both the top and underside and automatically loads and aligns the relative cutting files.

For pallet-to-pallet automation, Elitron will be sharing a sneak preview of its new Kombo TAV that will be unveiled later in the year at drupa.

You can find the team on Stand C20, Hall 1.
