The DC-646 Slitter/Cutter/Creaser is easy for anyone to use and even the most inexperienced operator can finish a job within minutes. The DC-646 comes equipped with the PC Controller software, enabling users to operate the system from a PC. The wizard makes it simple for operators to create new jobs, make adjustments, and save virtually an unlimited number of jobs on the hard drive for faster changeovers.

A job template library is included with the PC Controller which can be used to produce common applications. To ensure print jobs are optimized for finishing on the DC-646, a sample PDF is also included in the template library to make sure margins and gutters are set correctly. Operators can now also generate PDF template files for jobs created on the PC Controller. 

In addition, the DC-646 comes built-in with a CCD scanner, enabling it to recall any job stored in memory simply by reading the printed barcode and automatically setting up the job. The scanner also reads registration marks and compensates for the sheet-by-sheet image shift in both directions, delivering accurately finished pieces every time

The DC-646 Slitter/Cutter/Creaser features a 3.9” (100 mm) feed capacity stacker and a unique top air-suction feeding system to maintain the consistency and productivity throughout the operation. The high capacity stacker means the system will run for a longer period of time without having to reload while the air-suction system feeds from the top of the stack to reduce scuffing and marking on the sheets.

Additionally, the DC-646 comes equipped with side air, an air knife and ultrasonic sensor for improved feed consistency. The air knife provides additional air flow to the stack and reduces static on the sheets. The ultrasonic sensor detects when two or more sheets have been fed and automatically sends rejected sheets into the reject tray.

Processing up to 8 slits, 30 cuts and 20 creases in a single pass, the DC-646 finishes full-bleed documents up to 26.4” (670 mm) in length. To further extend its versatility, optional modules can be added to meet a wider array of customer demands. The DC646 offers three areas where operators can mix and match any optional modules to produce a variety of unique applications

• Rotary Tool Module performs perforations, micro- perforations, scores, slit-scores, and strike perforations (across the length of the sheet) 

• Cross Perforating Module performs perforations, micro- perforations, slit-scores, and strike perforations (across the width of the sheet) 

• Add an extra Slitting Module with 2 more slitters for a maximum of 8 slits per sheet (6 slits standard + 2 slits optional)

• The DC-646 is also compatible with the Integrated Folding System (IFS), creating an even more versatile finishing solution that slits, cuts, creases, scores, perforates, slit- scores, micro-perfs, and folds – all in one pass 

• Optional 48” Long Conveyor Stacker allows for higher stacking capacity and unloading while machine is running
