K-CUT Vision System: Precision Cutting for Printed Sheets Using a DYSS Digital Cutter

The K-CUT Vision system is a powerful, camera guided cutting solution designed to provide precision cut-to-register of printed media. It uses a built in camera and smart alignment algorithms to locate registration marks, and adjust the cut file to take into account any differences it detects between the cut file and the printed to sheet. K-CUT Vision can compensate for variations in scale, rotation and even nonlinear skew.

How It Works

  1. Registration Mark Detection: A digital camera captures registration marks on a printed sheet which correspond to reference points on the cut file.
  2. Position Analysis: The software analyses the marks’ positions relative to desired cut lines, adjusting the output cut file to correct position on the sheet, scale shifts, rotations or other variation in the print.
  3. Precision Cutting: The digital cutter follows the adjusted path to create precise cuts that match the printed design, in exactly the right position.

Key Benefits of the K-CUT Vision System

  • Accuracy: The system’s vision technology ensures each cut aligns perfectly with the printed sheet.
  • Reduced Material Waste: Reduced alignment issues and errors eliminating costly material waste.
  • Higher Efficiency: K-CUT Vision streamlines the alignment and cutting processes, making it faster.
  • Edge Recognition: Edge recognition technology can be used to accurately postion cuts where there are no registration marks, or where the media needs to be processed with the printed side face down.
  • Versatile Across Materials: If you can print it, you can cut it!
  • User-Friendly Operation: Intuitive software makes it accessible to operators with minimal training, reducing downtime and maintaining productivity.

Applications of the K-CUT Vision System

You'll find K-CUT Vision-enabled DYSS digital cutter systems in industries like commercial printing, sign-making, packaging, label-making, stickers and decals, and digital print finishing; the K-CUT Vision system is versatile and highly effective wherever precision cutting of printed media is required. It enhances overall quality, reduces waste, and improves efficiency—making it a valuable tool for businesses focused on high-quality, precise finishing.
