This VEB Tectoron 106 is a die cutter — also known as a die-cutting press — a machine used in the print finishing and packaging industries to cut, crease, and score sheet materials such as paper, board, and cardboard into precise shapes using custom-made cutting formes. VEB was a designation for state-owned industrial enterprises in the German Democratic Republic, and machinery produced under this system was widely used in commercial printing and converting operations across Europe.
This particular machine dates from 1967 and is offered in used condition from its current location in Germany. It accepts sheets up to a maximum size of 72 × 106 cm, placing it firmly in the large-format die-cutting category and making it suitable for high-volume packaging and commercial print finishing work.
The machine is configured with an automatic die-cutting cylinder and a letterpress cylinder that has been converted for die-cutting use, giving it a cylinder-based cutting action rather than a flatbed one. This type of configuration is valued for its continuous rotary motion, which supports higher throughput compared to flatbed alternatives.
For sheet feeding and delivery, the machine is equipped with a high-pile feeder, a stream feeder, and a high-pile delivery system. The high-pile feeder allows large stacks of sheets to be loaded, minimising operator intervention during long runs, while the stream feeder introduces sheets in an overlapping sequence for smooth, consistent feeding into the cutting unit. The high-pile delivery collects finished cut sheets in a tall stack, again reducing the frequency of manual unloading. Together, these features indicate a machine set up for sustained production runs with an emphasis on efficiency and minimal downtime.
The machine is available for immediate delivery and the seller offers worldwide shipping and installation.
