Caterpillar is making huge investments to meet the soaring demand for green printing
Nishant Shah, managing director at Caterpillar, said, “There’s a big demand for fabric printing and with the Reggiani running speeds of up to 400 sqm/hour, finishing became our biggest hurdle. Cutting the fabric to shapes and accurate sizes quickly and accurately manually would generally create a backlog. This led us to the decision of investing in a digital finisher which would fulfil all our cutting and finishing needs.”
Nishant Shah added, “The new kit will help us eliminate finishing bottlenecks as well as reduce wastages and losses.”
The 3.2x3.2 metre MCT VersaTech2 is equipped with TigerVision, a vision system for accurate scanning and cutting printed graphics built on a single screen software interface. The VersaTech2 is capable cutting aluminium, vinyl/plastic badges, labels, rolled vinyl, semi-rigid plastics, flexible circuits, rolled fabric, rigid boards, plastics and composites, packaging and cardboard materials, structural materials including point-of-purchase, foams of varying densities and thicknesses, and banner material.
