The most successful drupa
in 60 years of
Schneider Senator history

On June 11th, 2008 the most successful drupa participation in the Schneider Senator company history ended in Duesseldorf. Never before, so many guillotines and cutting systems had been sold during a drupa exhibition. The machines from these drupa deals were mainly sold to customers in Germany, Europe and Arabian countries. Complete cutting systems were sold to Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria. This results in full order books in the guillotine manufacture in the south of Hamburg. Moreover, an Australian customer changed his 50 year old Senator cutter to a new one.

But even before Drupa there had been a reason for celebrating an event. 60 years of excellence by Schneider Senator. This anniversary was celebrated culinarily with an own "chef de cuisine" on the booth. A new menu card was made up for every drupa week. The visitors fancied the possibility to have a rest from the hectic exhibition stress.

The highlight of the booth presentation was the „Roboload“. This newly designed system for automatic jogger feeding attracted big interest by German and European customers and they stated an excellent feedback for this technical solution.

Here the robot, equipped with an ad hoc designed gripper, automatically transfers a ream of adjusted height from the pallet to the table of the jogger. The measuring of the sheet size and pallet layer is effected automatically. This efficient and fail-safe solution is flexibly applicable and almost maintenance-free. This system is applicable for many paper and cardboards and only requires few space. The feeding can be effected on two joggers at the same time or even manually for a single work step.

The „Roboload“ for a sheet size of 70 x 100 cm had meanwhile been sold to Belgium, the first „Roboload“ for sheet size 7 B will be installed in Germany within a short time.

The new system had been shown in combination with an advanced "4-cut"-cutting system for automated 4-side trim, so that Schneider Senator presented for the first time a cutting system at drupa that works almost without operator's intervention.
     
 

"4-cut"
The heart of the fully-automated cutting system was the direct-hydraulically driven high-speed paper cutter SENATOR S-Line 137 H. Its patented, direct-hydraulically drive on both sides of the knife carrier, out of which the automated knife change can be realized are certainly unique in the guillotine area. Lowest knife wear and tear, highest cutting accuracy, and wearing parts reduced to a minimum are the results from this technique. Moreover, the high-tech machine is equipped with a front table which automatically opens for waste removal, called "Trimm-Master", and a new sheet transport system. The high-precision sheet straight-edge is effected directly within the guillotine. Moreover the turning device technology allows the fastest 4-side trim in the market. The unloading of the cutting line is being achieved via a restacker, Type 0559, designed for a max. paper size of 720 x 1040 mm.

The SENATOR 137 H is additionally equipped with a high-end control type CT with large colour monitor and touch-screen. All cutting machines with computer control type “CT” are CIP-4 compatible, optionally making a automatic generation of cutting programmes from pre-press data possible.

Rational in half format
A typical use for the favorite half format shows the exhibited E-Line 92 CT-cutting system with the next generation of Schneider Senator peripheral equipment. The following equipment was used in this cutting system: pile hoist type PH1, jogger type 0078, destacker PH1-E as well as sheet counter scale. The transfer of pre-press data, for example for CIP 3 or CIP4-cut data, was demonstrated at this cutting system. For this, the XC-PRO V software is applied.

Fully-hydraulic, all options.
Schneider Senator shows a various number of options on a fully-hydraulic S-Line 115H with XXL side tables (1.000 x 1.000 mm) for outstanding comfortable paper handling. This machine is delivered with CIP4-data processing. Moreover the ream is safely clamped by down holder, especially designed for coated sheets. The machine table height was raised to 98 cm (option).

At this guillotine stands the new Schneider Senator pallet lifter type P-EHL for Euro-pallets up to max. 1.000 kg weight. The mobile, accumulator driven lifter is equipped with a positioning control for automatic height control, which can be alternatively mounted right or left.
