Zünd is known worldwide for its advanced, high-performance digital cutting systems made in Switzerland. For some time now, the Swiss manufacturer has also been making a name for itself with user-friendly automation software such as PrimeCenter for prepress, as well as the Visualizing Option and the Pick&Place Interface Option for digital production. The latter are two highly effective solutions for removing/unloading cut parts, offering visual support and robot integration, respectively.
On account of its exceptional know-how and consulting expertise, Zünd has evolved into a complete solutions provider in cutting/finishing workflows and automation. The market leader in digital cutting systems offers customers tailor-made workflow solutions for every step of digital production. In recognition of the wide-ranging benefits and exceptional price-performance ratio of these software solutions, a jury of experts from the European Digital Press Association EDP awarded them the distinction of «Best in Class».
PrimeCenter automation software serves as a control center for creating print & cut files and enables a highly efficient and productive prepress workflow. In a few clicks, users create fully nested print & cut jobs.
The Zünd "Pick&Place" Interface Option lets Zünd Cut Center – ZCC control a robotic device, enabling fully automated parts removal—picking, sorting, and placing at pre-defined locations.
The Visualizing Option provides visual support for parts removal. Cut parts are labeled via projection or monitor. The user can see at a glance which parts belong to which job and can apply labels for continuous Track&Trace.
For more than ten years, EDP has been evaluating products and developments in the graphics industry for excellence and commendation through an evaluation process involving the EDP technical committee, a jury of experts, and finally, a general award assembly of EDP members.
