Not only did binding and finishing equipment fill two entire halls at Drupa, it played an integral role in nearly every digital printing equipment exhibit.

Challenge showed its 23˝ Titan 230 paper cutter, which it introduced at Graph Expo. Programming is accomplished via the user-friendly prompts on the LCD display. There are 99 channels of memory and 9,801 cut positions. Category 4 light curtains guard the cutter opening and ensure safety.

Polar introduced its PowerMonitor for POLAR XT cutters. It indicates critical peak loads arising in the cutting process and allows an early intervention. The load on the cutter is displayed for each cut, so the operator can easily see when the load is reaching a critical range.
