ANY-CUT II — Compact All-In-One Laser Finishing Solution

ANY-CUT II — Compact All-In-One Laser Finishing Solution Office-sized. Production-capable. Everything from laminating to finished labels — in a single pass, without a single die. The ANY-CUT II is an all-in-one on-demand laser finishing solution built around a single core idea: do everything digitally, in one place, without the overhead of traditional tooling. Powered by a 125W water-cooled CO₂ laser, it performs laminating, laser die-cutting, slitting, and matrix removal on a single compact platform, in a single continuous pass. By removing the need for physical cutting plates and dies, it eliminates the time and cost spent making, changing, storing, and repairing them. What distinguishes the ANY-CUT II from entry-level laser finishing options is its built-in scope. A slitter and second rewinder are included as standard — not optional extras. The machine operates at a maximum working speed of 25 m/min, processes media up to 250mm wide, and offers an optional Auto Job Changeover (AJC) function that allows it to switch between multiple jobs automatically by reading each job’s barcode — enabling one operator to oversee the entire finishing workflow from start to end. Compact enough to sit in a small office space and plugged into a standard power outlet, the ANY-CUT II is designed for businesses that want to bring label finishing in-house without needing dedicated production infrastructure. 125W Water-Cooled CO₂ Laser 250 mm Max Web Width 25 m/min Max Working Speed Slitter + 2nd Rewinder Included as Standard AJC Optional Auto Job Changeover Office-Ready Standard Power Outlet Overview Features Specifications Overview ANY-CUT II — Details & Specifications The ANY-CUT II is built on a straightforward premise: a label finishing machine should be able to do everything, fit anywhere, and require as little human intervention as possible. It achieves all three. The machine handles the complete label finishing sequence — laminating, laser die-cutting, matrix removal, and slitting — without any physical tooling, in a footprint compact enough to place in a small office, powered by a standard electrical outlet. At its core is a 125W water-cooled CO₂ laser, which cuts and finishes label media with consistent precision across the full 225mm cutting width. The cutting area supports unlimited label length via split cut, meaning production is not constrained by label geometry or job format. Full cuts, half cuts, perforations, and marking can all be combined and executed within a single cutting pass — no secondary runs, no manual reconfiguration. A built-in slitter handles lane separation inline, and the second rewinder — also included as standard — manages dual output without the need for a separate offline step. The optional Auto Job Changeover (AJC) function takes this further: it reads the barcode of each incoming job and automatically adjusts the cutting parameters, allowing the ANY-CUT II to process multiple different jobs in sequence without stopping or requiring an operator to intervene between runs. For businesses running varied short-run label production, this is the difference between a machine that requires constant attention and one that can be left to run. The ANY-CUT II is also designed for future growth. Its modular architecture allows it to be upgraded and integrated into larger workflows as production demands increase — including optional inline synchronisation with a compatible digital printer via the ANY-Link system. Features 1 — Suitable for Any Office Environment The ANY-CUT II is compact enough to operate in a standard office setting. It does not require a dedicated production room, specialist ventilation, or a heavy-duty electrical circuit — it plugs directly into any standard office power outlet. For brand owners, retailers, or small label producers who want to bring finishing in-house without a facility upgrade, the ANY-CUT II removes the infrastructure barrier entirely. 2 — 25 m/min: Significantly Faster Than Conventional Die-Cutting At a maximum working speed of 25 m/min, the ANY-CUT II processes labels at a rate that eliminates the speed disadvantage traditionally associated with digital laser finishing. There are no delays caused by die changeovers, no time lost waiting for new tooling to arrive, and no slowdown between jobs. The machine runs at speed from the first label to the last. 3 — Productive by Design The ANY-CUT II requires no additional tooling costs and no human intervention during the cutting process. It generates less media waste than traditional die-cutting by enabling precise digital path control, and it maximises media usage by supporting unlimited label lengths via split cut. The result is a finishing process that is both faster and cheaper per label than conventional alternatives. 4 — Auto Job Changeover (AJC) The AJC function is the ANY-CUT II’s standout operational feature. It reads the barcode printed on each job roll and automatically updates the cutting parameters to match — without stopping the machine or requiring an operator to manually intervene. This means a single operator can load multiple jobs and walk away, with the machine handling each transition independently. Across a full production shift, AJC reduces both labour time and error rate for mixed-job finishing runs. 5 — Built-In Slitter (Standard) Most finishing systems require a separate slitting step to separate label lanes after cutting. The ANY-CUT II integrates a slitter as standard, handling inline lane separation without any additional equipment or manual handling stage. This streamlines the end-to-end workflow and reduces the time between print output and finished-label output. 6 — Second Rewinder Included (Standard) The ANY-CUT II includes a second rewinder as a standard component — not an upgrade. This enables dual output configurations and split rewinding without the need for a separate offline rewinder machine, further consolidating the finishing process onto a single platform. 7 — Four Cutting Functions in One Pass The ANY-CUT II supports full cut, half cut, perforation, and marking within a single label cutting operation. These can be combined within a single label design and executed without pausing or reconfiguring the machine mid-run — giving label designers flexibility without adding production complexity. 8 — 250 mm Media Width With support for media up to 250mm wide and a cutting area of 225mm, the ANY-CUT II handles a wider range of label widths than the compact entry-level laser finishing class. A maximum roll diameter of 300mm is supported, keeping media handling manageable within the machine’s compact physical envelope. 9 — Modular and Upgradable Architecture The ANY-CUT II is built with modularity in mind. As production requirements grow, the machine can be upgraded and expanded — including integration with a compatible digital printer via the optional in-line synchronisation system. This protects the initial investment by allowing the machine to scale with the business rather than requiring replacement. 10 — No Consumable Tooling Costs There are no blades to replace, no die plates to order, and no cutting inserts to stock. The CO2 laser is the only cutting tool, and its 125W output is sustained by water cooling across extended production runs. The only consumable maintenance items are a brush for removing cutting residue and a cleaning tissue for the scan head and sensors.
