Cutting made efficient with ZCC Zünd Cut Center

The use of a touchscreen makes the new ZCC very easy to operate. The settings follow a logical progression through the setup process. Various tabs guide the operator step by step through production preparation and control of the cutter. Ease of use minimizes the time required for preparing jobs and significantly shortens the training time for new operators.

The restructured ZCC is more modular than ever. Purchase only the software components you need for your production workflow. You can add more options anytime or switch editions from Basic to Advanced. ZCC grows along with your production needs.

The software components can be flexibly distributed. Depending on your preferred workflow, Cut Server and Cut Editor can run on different computers than Cut Center, which makes it possible to separate the tasks in job preparation from those in production. Thus, Cut Server always remains available for performing tasks, independent of the computer running the machine.

Stored material parameters and predefined settings for the import of vector data ensure a high degree of standardization in the cutting process. Standardized production processes lead to significantly higher quality in the production of repeat jobs. At the same time, fast and easy cut-file preparation reduces manual labor in prepress to a minimum. The user benefits from economies of scale in terms of cost and productivity.

ZCC works magic in automation. It autonomously and intelligently sorts jobs according to criteria such as material, processing method, and delivery date. Jobs involving printed materials are retrieved automatically via printed QR codes. If there are none, as is the case with unprinted materials, the sequence in which the jobs are to be processed can be easily defined using the batch-processing function. It optimizes the cut sequence, reduces the amount of tool travel, and shortens the production time. The use of hot folders minimizes manual entries and accelerates job preparation.

One Zünd Cutter can now cut different jobs simultaneously – a new capability that further increases your productivity.

With software maintenance, you’re always taken care of. Software maintenance is a standard component of the software. You are guaranteed to receive software updates with the latest features and upgrades as soon as they are released, which means you are always using the latest and greatest version. No need to worry when you change the software environment in your company. With software maintenance, a smooth software experience is guaranteed.

You no doubt receive production data in different file formats every day. Optimizing them in file preparation is often a time-consuming hassle. That’s why we have developed ZCC to be able to interpret almost any vectorized file format, whether DXF, PDF, EDP, AI, or anything else.
