Determined To Improve PRECISION: Deterministic networks synchronize movement so that rapid processes can maintain accuracy

摘要

Printing forms, brochures, calendars and mailers with cut inserts is a high-speed job with tight precision requirements. When Jakob Graphic Services GmbH upgraded its operations, motion control and short set-up times were key criteria for its network selection. These complex printing jobs have many steps, such as slitting, gluing, punching and folding. All of them are closely intertwined. Jakob, based in Pfungstadt, Germany, handles many jobs, so set-up has to be quick, and production can't stop.
