SUN Automation Group® Introduces SUN625 Heavy Duty Die Cutter
- Published: August 27, 2024
SUN Automation Group has announced the introduction and application of the SUN625® HD Rotary Die Cutter. The first of its kind, the market-proving SUN625 RDC has been reimagined with many improvements to compete in the most demanding conditions in the Corrugated Board Rotary Die-Cutting market.
The SUN625 RDC has been a stalwart in the industry for over a decade, renowned for its reliability and performance. Building on this legacy, SUN has relentlessly pursued perfection, culminating in the development of the SUN625HD. With multiple installations throughout North America, this machine is set to redefine high-speed, high-volume production. Boasting increased load capacity, larger journals, enhanced fatigue resistance, and reduced deflection under load, this iteration reveals a complete reimagining aimed at elevating die-cutting operations.
“We are thrilled to introduce the SUN625 Heavy Duty Die Cutter, a significant leap forward in advancing our customers’ die-cutting operations,” says Eric Aulton, Product Manager for the SUN625. “Over the years, we have made small improvements to our design, such as improved forged journal design, register drive re-location, and structural rigidity, but the new iteration of our heavy-duty die cutter is poised to elevate our customers' capabilities to much greater heights.”
The SUN625HD offers the most robust die-cut nip assembly, unparalleled in the marketplace today. With a 300% improvement in load capacity over previous models, the new design delivers a significant increase in production efficiency. Fatigue resistance sees a monumental 500% improvement and a 60% reduction in deflection under load, ensuring precision and quality in every cut. Additionally, journal sizing has more than doubled any other offering in the 66” machine category. SUN’s patent-pending nip position and larger diameter anvil cylinder allow for the smoothest operation of Corrugated Board Die Cutting on the toughest of conditions, such as heavy-weight paper and double wall, and for full-width multi-up/out applications such as Protein and Agriculture packaging.
“With these innovations to our esteemed rotary die cutter, SUN is not just meeting the needs of today's market but also preparing for the challenges of tomorrow,” says Greg Jones, Executive Vice President at SUN. “As we embark on a new era in the corrugated industry, SUN Automation Group remains dedicated to excellence, innovation, and, above all, the success of our customers.”
These new innovations and continuous efforts to refine SUN’s corrugated machinery align with SUN’s commitment to best serve its customers. SUN strives to understand the distinct needs and considerations of all operations. With the increased challenges within the die-cutting market, SUN is devoted to staying ahead of the curve in providing customers with the tools to advance their operations and meet their customer needs.
