HiSeiki is expanding in France with three ranges of digital cutting tables. Among these, the B series offers compact, configurable machines open to several applications. Transtec Machines-Outils, based in Angers (Maine-et-Loire), which handles distribution, installation and after-sales service on the French market, presents this range to us.
"Within the HiSeiki catalog, this series stands out from the T and SK ranges, which are more focused on repeatability and speed. The B series is aimed more directly at smaller jobs, mixed production and environments where flexibility is paramount. It covers cutting, grooving, half-face cutting and milling, with an accuracy of 0.1 mm and a speed of 1.5 to 1.8 m/s", explains Réginald Freuchet, President of Transtec Machines-Outils.
He adds: "The B series is particularly well-suited to visual communication, POP or packaging companies who want access to multi-material digital die-cutting without starting from overly heavy configurations."
A compact 10-tool all-rounder
The B range covers seven formats from 1300 x 1200 to 3000 x 1700 mm. All formats can accommodate from one to three universal modules, depending on the configuration, and a milling spindle in place of a universal module.
The tables can handle materials up to 50 mm thick, with an option to extend to 100 mm. Automatic loading and unloading functions can also be integrated for repetitive applications.
The versatility of the B-Series also lies in its range of tools. More than 10 tools are compatible. The CTT tool is dedicated to creasing and bending corrugated materials without altering the surface. The KCT is designed for half-face cutting on multi-layer substrates. The EOT and EOT4 oscillating tools are designed for rigid or thick materials. The PRT motorized rotary tool cuts woven or special materials such as Kevlar. The 1.8 kW milling spindle, reaching speeds of up to 60,000 rpm, can cut Dibond and plastic sheet materials.
Transtec Machines-Outils also offers customized tools for complementary functions, such as marking, laser, punching and direct printing on substrates.
This versatility is further enhanced by the wide range of materials processed. Materials range from cardboard and corrugated board to films, composites, acrylic glass, carbon fibers, textiles, vinyls, hollow sheets, fiberglass, rubber, honeycomb panels, wood and many more. âeuros¨âeuros¨
A series designed for real-life workshop configurations
Transtec Machines-Outils goes beyond machine specifications to emphasize the support it provides during implementation. Installation, training and technical support are an integral part of the offer, with the idea of adapting the equipment to actual production conditions.
"It's not just the machine that's important, it's also the technical partner" says Réginald Freuchet.
