ScreenServices will have three Zünd digital table cutters

ScreenServices is marking 50 years in the decal and label market with investment in an additional Zünd S3 digital cutting table to increase its productivity and further boost its competitiveness.

The company’s core business is the manufacture of vehicle branding, safety decals and labels, primarily for the construction and agricultural equipment markets.

The third Zünd S3 M1600 with sheet feeder will now join its two existing and identical Zünd models, to perform precision cutting of decals on vinyl, polycarbonate, plastic and other materials.

‘In order to realise growth, in terms of machinery investment, we needed to position ourselves in the best possible place to retain our capability for high-volume production and a competitive edge,’ explaieds Jason Charlton, chief executive, ScreenServices.

‘After carrying out extensive research we decided that the Zünd cutting system was the best in market to match our needs, which were to increase both capacity and capability whilst also making the department more efficient in terms of staff and costs.’

‘Due to their speed the Zünds have given us the capability to increase the amount of work we are able to produce, but also have improved efficiency within the department. As we have auto-feed machines this means they do not need to be permanently staffed, which in turn means staff are freed up to do other work whilst the machines are running. It also means that we do not need to employ additional staff to increase the volume of work we can produce.

‘Another benefit of the Zünd is that it has a built-in camera which allows for automatic adjustment in the cutting area to compensate for any stretch, etc, in material. This ultimately saves money in terms of having less waste.’
