Plockmatic Group UK, the company behind leading finishing brands including Morgana and Renz, has revealed it will demonstrate the ColorCut FB15000TO as a complete automated production configuration, with new large-capacity feeder, for the first time at The Print Show.
The FB15000TO itself make it global debut at the 2026 FESPA Global Print Expo earlier in the year, though this will be first opportunity for professionals to see this setup.
Ed Hudson, general manager for Plockmatic Group UK, says that while a lot of flatbed cutting technology is described as automated, somebody still has to keep loading material into it. With this new setup, he says Plockmatic is seeking to move the conversation from an automated cutting table to an automated production finishing system.
“The new feeder has pallet entry and accommodates a media stack up to 700mm high,” he said. “It uses eight vacuum pick-up fingers arranged in dual rows to reliably acquire and feed the material.
“That 700mm capacity is particularly significant. Some competing automated systems in this sector offer around 150mm of sheet capacity, so we’re approaching five times that stack depth.”
Also on display on the Plockmatic stand will be the FB9550 Pro-T and ColorCut FB9550 Pro-T, both of which will be having their first formal showing in the UK. Plockmatic will also hand its Morgana VFX+ high-capacity vacuum feeder a UK premiere, integrated into its production bookletmaking system.
Another new solution comes in the form of the Morgana NovaBind 300, which can produce around 160 books per hour. In addition, for the first time at a large-scale event, Renz will be featured on the Plockmatic stand, with machines including the AP360 and MOBI 500 to be displayed.
“As we move towards 2027, you’ll increasingly see us looking at how we can expand those proven Renz platforms with additional functionality and greater automation,” Hudson added.
