Heidelberg KSB Cylinder Die Cutting Machine – 57 × 40 cm – 1962

The Heidelberg KSB (1962) is a robust letterpress cylinder die-cutting machine designed for heavy-duty industrial applications. Built with Heidelberg’s engineering excellence, the KSB offers high precision, durability, and powerful performance for demanding production environments.

With a working size range from 125 × 150 mm up to 400 × 570 mm, the machine supports larger format jobs compared to standard platen presses, making it ideal for packaging and carton production.

Operating at speeds of up to 5,000 sheets per hour, the machine provides stable and efficient production for medium to high-volume runs.

One of the key advantages of the KSB is its high punching pressure of up to 60 tons, enabling accurate die-cutting of thick materials such as carton board and packaging substrates.

The machine is equipped with a cylinder system, ensuring smooth sheet transport and consistent cutting quality.

Additionally, the machine includes an inking unit, allowing it to perform letterpress printing alongside die-cutting operations.

With a weight of approximately 5,000 kg, the machine provides excellent stability and industrial-grade reliability.

The machine is supplied complete with tools, accessories, and frames, making it ready for immediate operation.
