The Eclipse 1523 Digital Die Cutter is a compact, die-free, sheet-fed flatbed finishing system built for print shops, packaging departments, sign makers, and short-run production environments. It gives shops the ability to cut, kiss cut, crease, plot, and finish printed work without traditional cutting dies.
With a 15" × 23" cutting area, automated sheet feeding, CCD camera registration, a precision aluminum table, and included tools for drag knife, kiss cut, creasing, and oscillating knife work, the Eclipse 1523 brings affordable digital die cutting into a smaller, efficient production footprint.
Operators can move directly from digital artwork to finished pieces without traditional steel-rule dies, making the 1523 ideal for samples, prototypes, custom shapes, and short-run layouts.
The automated feeding and conveyor system brings loading, cutting, and collection into one connected workflow to reduce manual handling and improve throughput.
The high-definition CCD camera detects registration marks and aligns cut paths to printed graphics for contour cutting, packaging samples, cards, labels, and decals.
The Eclipse 1523 is designed for repeatable short-run production where sheet control, registration accuracy, and workflow efficiency matter.
The Eclipse 1523 is designed for continuous sheet-fed production. Its automated feeding and conveyor system brings feeding, cutting, and collection into one connected workflow. The automatic height-adjusting table supports material stacks up to 4.5" tall, listed as approximately 400 sheets of 250gsm or 92 lb cover stock.
The Eclipse 1523 uses a high-definition CCD camera system to detect registration marks and align cut paths to printed graphics. This helps compensate for common print distortion and supports accurate contour cutting on digitally printed sheets.
The Eclipse 1523 uses a 1.5kw vacuum system to hold material securely during cutting. The precision aluminum table and vacuum hold-down system help stabilize sheets for clean, consistent finishing across print, packaging, label, and sign applications.
The Eclipse 1523 includes the core tools needed for common print finishing applications, including cutting, kiss cutting, creasing, oscillating knife work, and plotting.
General cutting for vinyl, film, paper, and flexible sheet materials.
Labels, decals, stickers, and pressure-sensitive materials.
Folding cartons, cards, packaging, invitations, and scored pieces.
