Esko (Ghent, Belgium) has announced the release of its VariAngle tool for the Kongsberg C and XP range of digital finishing tables. VariAngle enables cutting at any angle from 0o to 60o at high speeds, easing the design of 3D creative displays while also resulting in faster setup times and an uplift in cutting speed.
According to a company spokesperson, VariAngle removes the need to stop production when changing tools, drastically reducing setup time and increasing cutting speed. The VariAngle cuts straight lines at any angle selection in half-degree increments between 0o and 60o and at up to 100m/min.
The tool behavior is defined from within the Esko ArtiosCAD structural design software; therefore, no operator input is required at the cutting table itself, so productivity is boosted by a further 25%, also per Esko.
