Extendable Capabilities

The PV3000’s triple interchangeable tool head allows you to rapidly transition between a reciprocating knife, drag knife, 5″ creasing wheel, standard crease wheel, routing, and plotting. Optional add-on tools can be interchanged to expand the table’s capabilities.

Smooth Operation

The helical rack and pinion system provides smoother, more accurate operation over straight rack and pinion or belt-driven systems. This creates less strain on the motor, increasing the cutter’s longevity and endurance and lowering the cost of ownership.

Speed & Accuracy

As one of the fastest cutting machines on the market, the PV3000 offers .86G dry haul acceleration to deliver high speeds and superior accuracy for even the most intricate designs.

Integrated Camera Sensors

With built-in camera sensors the PV3000 can recognize print registration marks for printed sheet cutting and bar codes to support workflow tracking.

CAD File Support

The PVFront Frontend Software supports .hpgl and .dxl CAD file formats, as well as prior Data Technology files without needing conversion.

Expansive Work Area

The PV3000’s large work area can handle sheets as large as 80″ x 124″ and can cut an item as small as 1/4″ circle.

Strong, Efficient Holds

Each vacuum in the PV3000’s six-zone acrylic vacuum plate has its own motor to deliver a stronger, more efficient hold of your materials, compared to traditional vacuums with a single motor.

Exceptional Service & Support

We are dedicated to supporting customers with machine installation, training, and remote and onsite technical support to ensure they fully realize the ROI of their PV3000.

Sustainable Solution

Support your sustainability objectives with a digital cutting machine manufactured and assembled in the U.S.A.

Flexible & Efficient Digital Cutting Machine for a Range of Applications

With its large work area and interchangeable tool head, the PV3000 is a highly flexible and efficient digital cutting table for a range of production needs.

Sample Making & Prototyping

A PV3000 digital cutter lets you create packaging prototypes and samples quickly and cost-effectively, and in the same quality as can be achieved in the production process.

Small Batch Production

The PV3000 was built for production quantity output. Its quick setup and efficient changeover to different materials and designs make it a strong profit generator. Utilizing the table for producing short runs at higher margins further accelerates the ROI.

Retail Displays

The PV3000’s built-in print registration system includes advanced cameras and software to accurately cut preprinted materials. This makes it efficient and cost-effective to produce high-quality short-run Retail Displays and high-graphics packaging.

Protective Packing

Each PV3000 comes with a 3” nominal PE Foam cutting capability. This makes supporting customers with a high number of SKUs at low volumes a manageable and profitable reality.

Printing & Coating Blankets

The PV1700 is a smaller-footprint version of our table that can accurately and quickly produce printing, coating blankets, and spot sheets to support your pre-press operations.
