过去几年，应用于印刷模切开槽粘箱联动线的技术发生了巨大的变化。越来越多的用户选择可以进行复杂工作的机器。因此，与几年前相比，印刷模切开槽粘箱联动线已经从进行大批量标准生产的单一生产中心转变成灵活性极高的运营中心，可以覆盖更广的产品范围。
Over the last few years, the technology applied to casemakers has changed considerably. Users are increasingly opting for machines that can perform highly sophisticated jobs, and as a result the casemaker has transformed from a simple centre of production for large volumes of standard packagings to an operations centre with extreme flexibility that can cover a much wider range of products compared to just a few years ago.
目前，用户对机器的普遍要求包括：
1、可以在不改变机械特点的情况下加工越来越轻质的纸板；
2、可以生产短、中、长订单，这就要求机器的换单时间短、运行速度快；
3、无论是简单印刷还是精美印刷,普通纸板还是涂布纸,都可以快速高效地完成印刷；
4、模切需求更多，有些纸箱甚至是全模切；
5、折叠质量高，纸盒可直接通过全自动包装生产线。
These days, the characteristics most commonly required of a machine include:
1.Capacity to process increasingly lighter weight papers without altering their mechanical characteristics；
2.Capacity to produce short, medium and long print runs; this implies minimum time for machine preparation and very high speed processing；
3.Possibility of quickly performing printing processes ranging from very simple to highly sophisticated, using lower quality papers up to coated papers；
4.Increasingly more die-cut and totally die-cut boxes；
5.Fold quality that allows the boxes to be used in automated packaging lines.
以上所有的这些特点集成在一台机器上是不容易的。很多传统工厂需要多条生产线来满足这些要求，否则就只能接受某一过程生产效率低下的结果。
而东方精工印刷机欧洲研发中心设计的HGL924满足了以上所有要求，兼具灵活性、高质量和高生产效率。
Incorporating all these features in a single machine is not easy. Many companies equipped with traditional plants have to rely on more than one line to cover all the operations, or else they accept that some of the processes will have a low productivity.
With the HGL 924, Dongfang Precision Europe R&D centre has designed a machine that meets all requirements for a system that combines flexibility, quality and productivity.
无挤压送纸单元中没有安装任何的辊来挤压纸板，所以质量较轻的纸板不会被挤压掉瓦楞纹，也不会影响纸板的堆叠效果。
印刷单元是联动线中的固定单元，伺服电机驱动，下印式机器，印刷像素高。这种设计可以保证快速换单和高分辨率的印刷质量。
每种颜色的网纹辊可以快速更换以适应纸张的类型。这一选项功能可以在任何时候安装，甚至可以在机器运行多年之后安装。这个单元还可以安装业内最常见的品牌和型号的干燥设备。
用印刷模切开槽粘箱联动线生产模切纸板箱一直都不容易，因为边角废料排出一直是个难题，也会影响到折叠单元。
为了解决这个问题，东方精工印刷机欧洲研发中心开发了一个清废单元，放置在模切单元和折叠单元之间。这款清废单元可以允许快速方便的进入模切单元进行模板更换，所以如果使用大众认可的塞拉快速锁板系统，模切板的更换可以在几分钟之内完成。
The no-crush feeding unit has no rollers for crushing the cardboard, so lightweight papers can be processed without crushing the corrugation and also without affecting the stacking characteristics of the packagings produced.
The printing unit is a high-quality graphics line inserted into a casemaker, i.e. fixed units. It prints from the bottom totally via servomotors. This geometry makes it possible to make quick changes to normal processes with a small print run and to perform high-definition polychromies.
The anilox of each colour can be rapidly changed to adapt to paper types; this option is installable at any time, even after the machine has been in operation for many years. The line is also set up for installation of dryers of the most common types and brands used in the sector.
Producing die-cut cardboard boxes has never been easy in casemaker lines because trim ejection is always problematic and interferes with the fold.
To solve this problem, Dongfang Precision Europe R&D centre has developed a cleaner unit to be positioned between the die-cutter unit and the fold. This unit also allows quick and easy access to the die cutter cylinder so that die changes can be carried out in a few minutes thanks to the now universally recognised Serrapid quick lock system.
生产模切纸箱的另一个优势来自于下印式印刷机本身。模切是从上部完成的，废料是从下部通过模切板上的橡胶排出。
真空折叠单元可以根据纸板的类型自动调节所有参数，再加上上堆式的计数推出单元，整个系统就完整了。
折叠单元和计数推出单元也可以收集只做印刷或者模切的不折叠纸板。这条生产线灵活多变、生产效率高。
Another advantage in producing the die-cut boxes is that the machine prints from the correct side: from the bottom. Die-cutting is performed from the top and the trim is expelled downwards by the ejection rubbers of the die.
A solid vacuum fold with automatic adjustment of all parameters according to the type of cardboard and a counter ejector with stacking from the top complete the system.
The fold and the counter ejector can also transport the flat product only printed or die cut. The result is a highly versatile and productive line.
4.0不仅仅是一种定律，还是一个生产的要求，东方精工印刷机欧洲研发中心所有机器都是为此而设计。机器可配备自动化周边设备，完全无缝连接，保证快速、准确无误的生产，因为生产数据相同，无需输入到另一个操作面板上。
Because the 4.0 is not only a law but also a requirement of production, all machines of Dongfang Precision Europe R&D centre are set up for this technology. They can also be equipped with automated peripherals totally interconnected with the production line to ensure quick, error-free activation since the same data does not have to be input on different operator panels along the line.
过去两年，东方精工印刷机欧洲研发中心一直代表集团进行核心技术的研发。从新的印刷模切开槽粘箱联动线821开始，到与圆压圆模切机相连的真空堆叠机，再到现在的HGL924，研发成果显著。HGL924引起了世界各地客户的兴趣，样机在米兰展出之后，不断接到新订单。
东方精工印刷机欧洲研发中心还在进行其他研发创新，相信会给我们带来更多的惊喜。
For the last two years, Dongfang Precision Europe R&D (Dongfang Precision Group) has been conducting research in their R&D centre in Treviso where the most high-tech machines are undergoing development on behalf of the group. The results have been notable, starting from the new casemaker 821, the vacuum stacker for the rotary die cutter and last, the new casemaker HGL 924, which has attracted interest on the part of customers around the world. Following installation of the prototype in the Milan area new orders are being placed and further projects are in the evaluation phase.
Other innovations from Dongfang Precision Europe R&D centre are on the way,it will be sure to surprise us again.
