RotoMetrics developed the Vari-Score/Vari-Punch Unit to allow printers to quickly and easily adjust lineal scoring or punching across the web in the undercutting position. This versatile tool saves you time and money by providing two standard tools in one, which may be used separately or together.
Vari-Score Unit
This typically two-bladed lineal scoring tool consists of a mandrel upon which a set of bearers, blades and a gear are fastened. The blades are held with set screws, tightened into a “V” groove. The bearer set screws are tightened into a pilot hole.
- Capable of being adjusted across the web
- Designed to prevent bearers from moving or “walking” along the mandrel
- Units are produced on fixed repeats, depending upon the press being used
- Special sizes are also available
Vari-Punch Unit
These tools are generally used as undercutters to make feed slots in liners. The slot or hole is cut up to the face stock, and the waste is removed by the waste matrix when stripping the face stock.
- Punch wheels are adjustable across the web
- Standard EDP line hole-punch units are available on the same repeats as Vari-Score Units
- Special feed slots are also available
