Duplo DC-646

The fully automated DC-646 Slitter/Cutter/Creaser is Duplo’s mid-range, precision finisher. With its ability to slit/cut/crease, perforate and fold in one pass, the DC-646 delivers professionally-finished applications up to 30 sheets per minute.

Eliminate touchpoints and increase productivity. Finish digital print jobs in faster turnarounds. Ideal for short to mid-production runs, the DC-646 produces a variety of applications such as 24-up business cards, postcards, coupons and tickets, book covers, and much more. Bring precision finishing in-house!

NO MANUAL SET UPS

Cut job costs by doing away with time-consuming set ups and make-ready times. With the DC-646, you can efficiently operate the system from a PC station (sold separately). The PC Controller software makes it easy to program jobs for multiple-up finishing with up 8 slits, 25 cuts and 20 creases. Save time by storing virtually an unlimited number of jobs on the hard drive and recall them when needed. Use the job template library and sample PDFs to ensure margins and gutters are set correctly for optimal finishing.

AUTOMATED REGISTRATION & CHANGEOVERS

Reduce downtime between jobs by adding a barcode and registration marks. When reading the barcode, the built-in CCD scanner can automatically recall and change over the job in an instant without any intervention required. The CCD scanner can also read the registration marks on every sheet to compensate for any shrinkage and image shift, in both horizontal and vertical directions, on the fly.

The DC-646 utilizes Duplo’s signature air suction belt feed system, which feeds from the top of the stack to minimize scuffing and reduces static between the sheets. The ultrasonic double feed sensor detects when two or more sheets have been fed with rejects sent to a reject tray. In addition, its soft sponge rollers allow you to finish raised spot UV coated applications with confidence.

PRECISION FINISHING SECOND TO NONE

Automating the finishing process allows your operator to focus on other tasks. Equipped with rotary slitters, a guillotine cutter, and a depth-adjustable creaser – the DC-646 offers the versatility of multiple devices in one. Margins and gutters are trimmed horizontally by the slitter and vertically by the cutter then deposited into the waste bin. Only the finished pieces are delivered on the exit tray.

Creasing digitally-printed jobs such as greeting cards, book covers, and brochures prior to folding prevents toner cracking and unattractive fold lines. The creaser utilizes male and female matrix channels to create a hinge along the sheet to be folded with ease. Use the adjustable 3-step crease depth to optimize performance.
