Summa 'F' Series

The Summa F series is the result of over 30 years’ experience and technological expertise gained from designing and manufacturing the world's finest cutting devices. These advanced flatbed cutting tables stand alone in the market having been designed from the ground up to tackle the challenges of the Sign and Display industry rather than as a packaging machine altered to fit requirements like so many others. Although the F Series range can excel in many industries, if you work in Sign and Display then the F Series is your bespoke finishing solution.

Roll & Sheet

Roll & Sheet

Roll and Sheet Capability

Roll finishing is designed into this range from the beginning. Sheet handling is fast, automated and efficient as you would expect from one of the world’s leading print-finishing brands yet roll work is not an after-thought or an add-on. It is intrinsic to the design and operates reliably with Summa’s legendary accuracy. The larger cutters have dual roll support for even more productivity. View the video.

High Frequency Router

High Frequency Router

High-Frequency Router

A powerful high speed balanced router for high productivity routing applications and ultra-smooth finishing of acrylic when used with a diamond bit. Quick, tool-free pneumatic bit change for easy operation and dependable results. View the video.

Textile Finishing

Textile Finishing

Textile Finishing

Rotary module containing a powered decagonal blade with minimal horizontal force ensuring no textile movement for excellent accuracy. Compressed air jet removes dust from the knife automatically to keep each cut clean and straight. View the video.

Automatic Poster Workflow

Automatic Poster Workflow

Automatic Poster Workflow

No need for any cut files – just put a black border around your posters in the rip / application, lay the roll of printed posters on the bed and start cutting. The cutter will automatically find and cut all the posters on the roll without any intervention – simple! View the video.

Tandem Mode

Tandem Mode

Tandem Mode

On the larger cutters, the bed can be split into two areas – one active for cutting and the other safe for placing or collecting jobs. This way there is no down time whilst a finished job is collected or a new one loaded – the F Series moves finished work into the safe area and then continues with the next batch for a productive, efficient workflow. View the video.

Barcode Workflow

Barcode Workflow

Barcode Workflow

Using the camera on the cutter head, the F Series will automatically read the barcode generated in the rip, find the correct job, cut the job and then move the media along to find the next barcode – all without user intervention. Thus, you have an easy-to-use automated workflow for high productivity. View the video.

Twin Workflow

Twin Workflow

Twin Workflow

Summa is uniquely able to mesh both its roll and flatbed cutters into a single workflow. Only with Summa can you take a job after it is printed and then decide at this late stage which cutter you want to use – an F Series flatbed or an OPOS CAM S-class roll cutter…or both by kiss cutting on the S-class and cut-through on the F Series flatbed – a unique workflow with Summa. View the video.

Continuous Sheet-Feed

Continuous Sheet-Feed

Continuous Sheet-Feed

This workflow increases productivity by over 30% compared to traditional flatbed devices. As the name suggests, with the F1612 you are able to continuously feed sheets in and collect from the other end of the cutter whilst the machine continues to work. No idle time means you can use the F1612 to its maximum efficiency. This mode requires the use of input and output extension tables. View the video.

Automatic Depth Control & Automatic Knife Calibration

Automatic Depth Control & Automatic Knife Calibration

Automatic Depth Control & Automatic Knife Calibration

The automated depth control (ADC) is included with every F Series. An expensive option on other cutting tables, the Summa ADC simplifies tool, knife or bit changes significantly by using a laser to set the depth for maximum safety and efficiency. In addition – and uniquely to Summa - the ADC also calibrates the knife blades too ensuring they are straight and true in seconds with no user intervention. All competitive cutters ask the operator to manually calibrate the blade which takes time and is open to operator error. View the video.

Included Extras

Table Mapping

Table Mapping

Table Mapping

On install, the F Series creates a detailed high-resolution map of the microscopic undulations of the bed. Although these are invisible to the naked eye, any undulations may make kiss cutting unreliable, so Summa can take this into account during cutting. Many competitive devices originated in the packaging industry and thus lack this fine-tuning, suffering kiss-cutting inaccuracies.

Picador PLM Packlibrary

Picador PLM Packlibrary

Picador PLM Packlibrary

Included with every F Series is a full library of resizable standard packaging models using the FEFCO and ECMA standards as well as P.O.S display designs and even solid cardboard (furniture) designs. The designs are parametric so that changes you make are automatically compensated in the design before they are exported into Illustrator to have the graphics applied and sent to the rip.

SummaFlex Pro 2

SummaFlex Pro 2

SummaFlex Pro 2

High-end production software to receive work from the rip and send to the cutter. This new incarnation of the software provides a revolution in operator-friendly cutting. Users of competitive cutters will understand just how manual and complex this part of the workflow is and how long it takes to train an operator. However, with Summa, you just select the application you want to do…and all the correct settings are already selected for you using the new Materials Database. Anyone in the printshop will be able to cut safely with the correct settings with minimal training.

Media Handling

Pneumatic Media Advance Clamps
Pneumatically-driven media advance clamps hold the material down while pulling it forward in order to work continuously in panels or multiple jobs.

Vacuum Pump and Selector
The vacuum pump with sound absorber holds the material in place during the job while the selector adjusts the vacuum automatically to match the working area.

Conveyor System & Roll Support System
This conveyor system and media supply rollers allow the cutting and creasing of large lengths of flexible material to large production runs. The Roll Support System of the F2630 consists of two parts, so two smaller rolls can be loaded next to each other to maximize the workload of the machine. In combination with the Conveyor System and the media advanced clamps, the Roll Support System is ideal for processing roll material on all the Summa Flatbed Systems.
