GEN8 EVO – optimized for today’s production, created for the demands of tomorrow
The new Roll to stack solution GEN8 EVO, specifically developed for graphic applications in the commercial and direct mailing sector, combines proven technology with innovative features, making it more powerful and efficient. With this EVOlution, Hunkeler meets the real demands of today’s and tomorrow’s fast-paced printing market.
Through close collaboration with customers, their wishes and needs were directly incorporated into this optimized solution. Faster setup and changeover times, as well as reduced downtime, have led to a massive increase in the line’s productivity.
Visually, the new GEN8 EVO impresses with its modern and elegant design, enhancing any production environment. This not only attracts young talents but also improves employee well-being through ergonomic enhancements. The clear and functional design ensures more intuitive operation, increasing productivity while significantly reducing operating costs by minimizing waste and time loss.
Intuitive Guidance Through Every Work Step
To achieve peak performance with the GEN8 EVO, the Roll to stack solution is equipped with a completely redesigned operator interface. Simple, ergonomic, and intuitive, it safely guides the operator through every single work step. All necessary information is clearly displayed. Thanks to the clear and user-friendly design of the interface, users can quickly and accurately respond to production requirements, significantly reducing setup and changeover times for jobs.
Ergonomic Operation
In the further development of the GEN8 EVO, Hunkeler has invested significantly in creating a comfortable and healthy working environment. The work area has been designed with ergonomic principles in mind, allowing operators to work in a natural and relaxed posture.
A valuable feature is the laterally adjustable main display. The operator can adapt its position as needed, ensuring a clear view of all critical processes at all times. Additionally, tactile control buttons on the machine front enable the operator to monitor production while making adjustments simultaneously. Both the new design and the simplified user interface ensure that the advanced technology of the GEN8 EVO is easily accessible to any user without requiring extensive training. This not only saves valuable time but also enhances flexibility and overall performance.
Lighting Concept for Increased Safety
As part of the ergonomic optimization, the innovative lighting concept is designed to correspond with the display. At a glance and in real time, the operator can instantly recognize the machine’s operating status and respond quickly and safely. Whether as confirmation of a correct action or as an indication of a necessary adjustment, the lighting under the hood efficiently guides the operator, making it easy to monitor and control the production process.
Smooth Paper Flow
In addition to design and operation, paper transport has also been optimized. Integrated, high-precision drives and refined roller guides minimize disruptions, ensuring consistently high product quality throughout the entire production cycle. The smoother and faster paper flow increases availability and, in turn, boosts the productivity of the robustly built GEN8 EVO.
With the new GEN8 EVO, Hunkeler presents a future-proof platform that evolves with the user’s needs. It transforms production processes by combining efficiency, user-friendliness, and design at the highest level.
