Esko extends its Kongsberg finishing product line with Kongsberg V series
Entry-level digital cutting system offers the reliability, precision and ease of use Kongsberg tables are recognized for
Esko (www.esko.com) announces that it has extended the world-leading family of Kongsberg digital finishing tables by introducing the new Kongsberg V series. Kongsberg V cutting tables deliver reliability, precision and ease of use for companies in the packaging and sign & display markets looking to complement their offerings with productive digital finishing. Built on the robustness of the Esko Kongsberg family, the new V series offers standard configurations for the best possible finishing quality of a highly diverse range of packaging and sign & display applications.
“The Kongsberg V series joins the well-known Esko Kongsberg X series and the recently launched large format C series platform,” says Marian Zincke, Esko VP Digital Finishing. “The launch of the V series extends our family of digital cutting solutions to make them accessible to companies who need an entry-level cutting solution but who do not want to compromise on quality, precision or reliability.”
Standard configurations ensure cost-effective cutting
The Esko Kongsberg V series is available in two standard configurations, each including the necessary tools to process market specific applications:
Rock-solid construction
The Kongsberg V series features the same rock-solid construction found in all Kongsberg tables, which makes them last for many production years. Kongsberg V is available in two sizes; V20 and V24, and is able to work on material with size1700x1300 mm / 66”x 51” (V20) and 1700x3200 / 66x126” (V24).
Kongsberg V cutting tables offer a broad selection of tools, providing quality results for a wide range of cutting, creasing, drilling and plotting activities. These new tables have many of the features that have made Kongsberg tables popular, such as the i-cut Vision Pro camera system for accurate print-to-cut registration even with print-distorted materials. Exchanging tools is quick and error-free because every insert is identified by a unique bar code and easily snaps into place. Insert knife tools are available for cutting materials ranging from thin paper and synthetic sheets to heavy-duty packaging and display materials. The rack-and-pinion drive system balances raw power with the finest axis control, ensuring speed, durability and strength.

Standard configurations ensure cost-effective cutting
The Esko Kongsberg V series is available in two standard configurations, each including the necessary tools to process market specific applications:
- The Kongsberg V for sign & display comes with a MultiCUT tool head for vision controlled cutting and routing. The MultiCUT combines all tool insert options with an air-cooled milling spindle up to 45.000 RPM, perfect for a wide range of sign & display materials including acrylics and other synthetics. The camera system and innovative front-end software make it the perfect solution for production of lower volumes of signs and displays.
- The Kongsberg V for packaging is specially configured for sample making, short run production of mockups and other packaging-specific applications. It is outfitted with a FlexiHead, which offers highly accurate, powerful cutting and creasing of packaging material such as folding carton and corrugated board. The FlexiHead is attached to a very precise servo axis controlling the tool depth when cutting, creasing and routing. Three configurable tool stations accommodate a full range of standard tool inserts.
