Kongsberg launches digital cutting platform to “transform” the corrugated packaging industry
04 Dec 2023 --- Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems (PCS) unveiled a digital cutting platform, the Kongsberg Ultimate, last week. The platform delivers “unprecedented” levels of productivity, precision and safety, aiming to transform the corrugated production industry.
The Kongsberg Ultimate is said to be a testament to Kongsberg PCS’s commitment to developing the latest technology, due to its new drive technology, an acceleration rate of up to 2.74 g-force and a cutting speed of 168 meters per minute.
“Engineered with our deep understanding of corrugated and display converters’ needs for precision, the Kongsberg Ultimate promises to redefine standards and usher in a new era of productivity and innovation, delivering a fast return on investment for convertors of corrugated board,” says Kongsberg PCS’ president and CEO, Stuart Fox.
“Enhancing operations and providing a significant competitive advantage, the platform sets a new industry benchmark and is set to drive the future of corrugated production for years to come.”
Incorporating six core values in the design, the Kongsberg Ultimate represents a “quantum leap forward” in technology, directly addressing the challenges corrugated converters face in high-volume multi-batch production.
Kongsberg Ultimate Core Values — unlocking the Kongsberg Ultimate’s performance capabilities — include productivity, precision, safety, uptime, user experience and environmental sustainability.
“With corrugated converters around the world under increasing pressure to produce better, faster, safer and more efficiently to meet the demands of the global market, we have underlined our commitment to deliver a solution engineered for precision and built for productivity,” says Fox.
Unveiling the innovative new table at the company’s headquarters in Gent, Belgium, Fox says that the Kongsberg Ultimate is “not just an evolution but a leap forward in corrugated production technology and a commitment to the corrugated industry for the future.”
“This remarkable achievement reaffirms Kongsberg PCS’s position as an industry leader and underlines our dedication to delivering innovations that empower businesses to thrive in an ever-evolving marketplace,” asserts the company.
