The Bobst SPO 1600 is a used die cutter — sometimes referred to as a flatbed die cutter or auto-platen press — a type of machine designed to cut, crease, and perforate sheet materials with precision, primarily for the production of folding cartons, corrugated packaging, and similar substrates. Bobst is a well-established Swiss manufacturer with a long-standing reputation as one of the leading names in packaging machinery, supplying equipment for folding carton, corrugated board, and flexible packaging production worldwide.
This 1988 machine is configured as a combination flexo printing and die cutting line, integrating four flexo printing units with a transfer section ahead of the cutting station. Printing is performed from below, using sheet transport with traditional rollers, and the press is equipped with two sets of anilox cylinders — one at 120 lines and one at 80 lines — along with an open steel doctor blade chamber for ink management. A vacuum introducer handles sheet feeding into the line.
The die cutting section operates with a cutting force of 400 tonnes and is followed by a dedicated scrap elimination section for removing waste matrix after cutting. Sheet registration and control is handled by the Centerline II system. Output is managed through a high-stack delivery arrangement fitted with two elevating tables, allowing for continuous or high-volume run collection.
In terms of sheet capacity, the machine accepts a maximum sheet size of 1,100 mm × 1,600 mm (43.3" × 63") and a minimum of 520 mm × 600 mm (20.5" × 23.6"). Compatible materials include E, B, C, CB, and BE flute corrugated board grades. Maximum rated throughput is 6,000 sheets per hour. The machine is located in Italy and is offered in used condition.
