Digital cutting systems manufacturer Summa will debut its latest flatbed cutter, the F1625, at Fespa Global Print Expo 2025, which runs from May6-9 in Berlin.
Computaleta supplies Summa solutions in New Zealand.
Specifically engineered for wide format printing professionals, the 1.6m x 2.5m flatbed cutting solution handles rigid and roll media. Summa says the F1625 offers ease of use, precision, and modular versatility, all while delivering solid value for money.
Engineered to elevate production
The F1625 handles vinyl, PVC, acrylics, foam board, and ACM. Summa says it has designed the F1625 to accommodate full board sheets without the need for additional feeding systems, this cutter brings speed and simplicity to every job.
Randi Kerkaert, product manager at Summa, says, “The F1625 is all about giving professionals what they need most: versatility, reliability, and smart automation in a compact footprint.
“We have integrated our signature features, like automatic device calibration, tandem workflow, and tool recognition, into a format that maximises knife-in time and streamlines every aspect of the workflow. It is a true powerhouse that fits right into existing production environments.”
Transforming workflow
The F1625 features automatic device calibration, automatic tool recognition, and GoProduce software. Summa says it minimises setup time and operator error. The intelligent Tandem Workflow and Dedicated Operator Zone keep production moving by allowing loading and unloading during active cutting, resulting in up to 50 per cent productivity gains.
Streamline performance
Summa’s GoProduce Flatbed Edition software is the driving force behind the F1625’s streamlined performance. Designed for intuitive operation, it automates material recognition, tool settings, and job sequencing. With advanced features like barcode-driven workflows, rapid camera-based mark detection, and smart sorting capabilities, users can minimise errors by up to 60 per cent. It also enables 24/7 unmanned operation for roll-based workflows.
Creating applications with modular versatility
Like all models in the F Series, the F1625’s modular design can handle three tools at the same time. Its swappable tool system allows for kiss-cutting, creasing, and routing. Supported by Summa’s range of professional-grade tools and accessories, it produces signage, packaging, and displays.
Geert Pierloot, managing director at Summa, says, “The F1625 and its compact bed size were the missing link in our portfolio for sign, display and packaging.
“With the F1625, we’re meeting that demand head-on, offering a format that strikes the perfect balance between footprint and productivity. It’s the Summa flatbed cutter wide-format professionals have been waiting for.”
