The new Standard Hunkeler CS6-II Rotary Cutter with Chip-Out will be shown as part of a solution producing full-bleed trimmed color self mailers.  The new Standard Hunkeler UW6 unwinder and high performance CS6-II cutter will be double-cutting sheets from a pre-printed roll.  The sheets will then be folded into direct mailers on the in-line Standard Horizon AFC-566FKT automated signature folder. The newest Standard Hunkeler Gen6 solutions handle paper from 40 to 300 gsm with ease, and can be operated either in-line with digital printers or off-line. 
With speeds up to 600 fpm, two independent dynamically-controlled rotary cutters, and variable chip-out between 1/8" and 2¾, the CS6-II is ideally suited for demanding direct mail and print on demand applications that require full-bleed trim or chip-out of a cross-web perforation. For operator convenience, setups and adjustments are easily performed at the touch screen control console, and changes in cut length can be carried out based on UP3I or barcode information.
The UP3i-enabled Standard Hunkeler FS6 Folder will also be shown, supporting a roll-to-fanfold transactional application.  The FS6 features speeds up to 720 fpm, automated set-up, and format changes with no requirement for manual gear adjustment.  The FS6 is capable of operating in-line to the latest and fastest generation of continuous feed printers.
