Cutting machines and guillotines have become automated material handling, preparation and finishing systems. Perfecta’s drupa demonstration was essentially a robotic show of picking up stacks of paper, moving it to the cutting bed, aligning and jogging the stack, moving it for the first cut, cutting, and then automatic moving the paper to the next programmed cut. This was all done sequentially by a robot with strong steel arms and a very gentle grip that could lift paper stacks, jog them for alignment and pick up one edge of the stack to turn it 90 degrees for the next trim. The robotics of course would work equally well after printing for sequential trimming and finishing. The demo had drupa visitors spellbound – it was clear that this is the future. ...cont´d
