The Zip-CSCL is a programmable cutter/slitter/creaser designed for maximum product flexibility, ease of operation, reliability, accuracy and productivity.
The standard Zip-CSCL can run stocks up to 14.75" wide by 20" long. Provisions have been made to handle longer sheets if required by the customer.
Using the Zip-CSCL, customers can independently program cross cut and cross score/perforation positions down the length of the sheet. After cross cutting and cross score/perforating, sheets are conveyed through a rotary cassette. Rotary gutter cut slitting, scoring, perforating and semi-slit tools are available and cassettes can be changed in less than a minute, without tools.
The Zip-CSCL is ideal for producing a wide range of products, including: standard and odd size business cards, various top and side fold over business card formats, post cards, single/tri/accordion fold products, tickets, "T" perforated products and much more.
The Zip-CSCL has a "true" suction feeder with full length alignment table and double sheet detect/interrupt. The feeder can support a 13.5" high stack of paper, more than double the capacity of competitive models. Coated and un-coated as well as single and two sided UV coated stocks can be fed with the Zip-CSCL feeder. The full length alignment table with adjustable side guide precisely aligns each sheet before processing through the machine.
The touch screen computer control allows a high degree of automation with fast set up, job program storage and retrieval. All set up and operational screens are easy to view and use with ample space provided by the 10.2" full color display.
Sheets can be registered using the lead edge of the sheet or a registration mark. Switching between registration modes is a simple selection on the touch screen computer.
Programming a new job format is quick and easy. The Zip-CSCL features multiple programming methods to provide the operator with maximum efficiency and flexibility. Initial programming typically takes less than two minutes and up to 500 programs can be stored and retrieved.
Guillotine crosscutting can be programmed for a "scissor" or a variable width "gutter" cut. A minimum product length of 1 1/2" makes the Zip-CSCL ideal for tickets and other small format products.
The crease/perforate tooling station can be used to apply full or partial width creasing or perforating. An impression pressure adjustment provides very fine, graduated impression adjustment. Partial width cross perforating combined with inline rotary perforating allow variable size and configuration "T" perforated coupons to be easily produced.
Zip-CSCL rotary tooling cassettes are unique and offer many advantages over competitive designs.
Each slitting blade/hub assembly removes a .125" (1/8")gutter. This eliminates the need to "stack" two sets of scissor cut blades to remove a gutter. This allows a thinner gutter which decreases product "spread" across the width of the sheet. Standard Zip-CSCL slitting blades can slit products as narrow as 1" wide. Various gutter cut slitting blade widths are available for special applications.
Preconfigured rotary tooling cassettes ensure the tightest possible finished size accuracy and consistency. Unlike competitive models, that can vary product width accuracy by as much as =/- 0.3 mm (+/- 0.0228" or 0.023622" total variation), Zip-CSCL business card slitting accuracy is +/- 0.0127 mm (+/- 0.0005").
A delivery conveyor is standard equipment on the Zip-CSCL. The conveyor eliminates delivery problems associated with bins and allows product collection while the machine is running. This eliminates the need to stop production while removing product from the bins. Bins can be a particular problem on cutter/slitters running small products like business cards and tickets, because the small finished size tends to flip and/or jam in the bins. To deal with this problem, most bins for business cards are shallow. Shallow bins minimize card flipping and/or jams but must be cleared by the operator after every few sheets are fed through the machine.
As you can see, the Zip-CSCL is a unique production machine that is ideally suited to finish a wide range of multiple-up digital products quickly, accurately and reliably.

The basic programming video on the e-mail blast should give you a good idea on set-up time. Set-up time will decrease as the operator becomes more familiar with the touch screen features.
