Wink’s SmartGap AUTOCONTROL system has an adjustment range of 80μm and enables individual adjustment on the left and right and simultaneous adjustment on both sides in steps of 0.5μm down to 0.1μm.

ADJUSTABLE anvil cylinders have become indispensable in modern label production because the smallest deviations in the narrow gap between the magnetic and anvil cylinder, determine rotary die-cutting success or failure, especially with the demands created by the variety of materials and ever thinner liners.
