Summa offers 3.2-m flatbeds for textile printing

Cutting plotter manufacturer Summa is introducing two new sizes of its finishing flatbed systems: the F3232 and F3220. Leveraging the technology of the Summa F Series, the new flatbeds are expected to be ready for shipment between February-April 2019.

Both new flatbed cutters cover a working width of 3.2 metres for printing large rolls of textiles, Summa says. As well, both models are suitable for cutting board sizes of 3 m x 2 m. Additionally, the F3232 with its working area of 3.2 m x 3.2 m has the inclusive feature, Summa’s Tandem Mode, designed to increase productivity of the customer’s workflow by using the front zones and rear zones alternately. The Tandem Mode will be most beneficial when processing board sizes of 1.5 m x 3 m, the company explains.

“The new sizes of flatbed systems enrich Summa’s platform with advanced finishing solutions, especially within the textile industry. Together with the recent launch of a more powerful High Torque Rotary Module (HT RM), both the F3232 and F3220 are the ideal workhorses to serve the textile market in the processing of all sorts of mesh fabrics, flags and banners,” Geert Pierloot, Summa Product Development Manager, notes.
