A comprehensive solution capable of transforming a production line into a flexible, scalable, and highly profitable system
PMA Product, exhibitor at the next edition of C!Print Madrid, from January 12 to 14, 2027, presents its new solution: In an environment where differentiation in digital printing increasingly depends on added value in the finishing, the Cyklos GPM 450 Airspeed It establishes itself as a comprehensive solution capable of transforming a production line into a flexible, scalable, and highly profitable system. Beyond its basic creasing and perforating capabilities, what truly defines this equipment is its ecosystem of tools, interchangeable combs and expansion moduleswhich multiply their applications to cover virtually any need of contemporary graphic finishing.
True modularity: one machine, infinite configurations
The key concept of the GPM 450 Airspeed is its open architecture; the machine is not limited to a fixed set of functions, but evolves by incorporating combs, tools and specific modules, even designed on demand.
It comes standard with creasing and micro-perforating combs, but its true potential is unleashed by integrating additional tools that allow it to become a true multi-function production line.
-> Combs and tools: the heart of versatility
One of the most distinctive aspects of the system is the availability of a wide range of interchangeable combscapable of adapting to multiple jobs and sectors:
-> Selective and advanced microperforation
The machine allows working with partial or segmented micro-perforated combsdesigned to create selective cutting lines within the same sheet. This is especially useful in:
- Tickets and coupons with multiple tear-off zones
- Personalized mailings
- Tax or promotional documents
These systems can be combined with transverse and longitudinal micro-perforation to generate complex structures in a single pass.
-> Specialized cleft
In addition to standard creasing, it is possible to incorporate specific splitting combs according to weight and application, optimizing the paper's behavior on digital media and preventing cracking in demanding folds.
-> Perforated for binding: maximum compatibility
The GPM 450 Airspeed covers all industrial binding systems using dedicated combs:
- Wire-O 3:1 and 2:1with a round or square hole
- Versions with or without calendar thumbnail
- Perforated for spiral (step 6:35 oval or round)
This allows you to produce everything from calendars to corporate dossiers without changing equipment.
-> Special fingernails and die-cuts
One of the areas where the machine excels is in the development of specific solutions such as:
- Staple finger tab for notary-type folders
- Die-cutting of folders with flaps
- Systems Euroblister for hanging packaging
- Snap-type perforated or calendars
These elements make the machine a valid tool not only for commercial printing, but also for lightweight packaging and customized corporate solutions.
-> Single-pass production: total efficiency
Thanks to its quick tool change system and the ability to mount multiple heads, the Airspeed allows:
- Combine split + micro-perforated + perforated
- Perform cross-functional work (transverse + longitudinal)
- Integrate cutting or semi-cutting into the same process
Even in advanced versions (Double), it is possible to run two simultaneous operationsreducing time and handling.
The result is an optimized workflow, especially for short runs and variable jobs.
-> Trifold 360: the leap to professional online folding
The incorporation of the module Trifold 360 It takes the GPM 450 Airspeed to the next level, making it a complete in-line finishing solution.
This module allows:
- Perform professional folding (C, Z, bi-fold, etc.)
- Working with papers up to 350 g/m² without breakage
- Fine folding adjustment for maximum precision
- Single-pass production from infeed to final folding
Furthermore, its direct integration with the creasing machine allows the fold to be made along pre-scored lines, guaranteeing a perfect finish even in digital printing.
The modular connection option allows you to acquire the system from the start or incorporate it later, aligning with the team's scalable philosophy.
-> Applications: from business documents to packaging
The combination of tools makes the GPM 450 Airspeed a cross-platform capable of addressing multiple markets:
- Commercial printingbrochures, catalogs, cards
- Editorial and corporatedossiers, manuals, calendars
- Direct marketingMailings with detachable elements
- Lightweight packaging: labels, blister packs, die-cut pieces
- Advanced OfficeNotarial folders, technical documents
All this with a speed of up to 4,300 sheets/hour and grammages of up to 400 g/m² in creasing, which places it in a clearly productive range.
An investment that grows with the business
The Cyklos GPM 450 Airspeed is not simply a perforating saw, but a evolutionary finishing platformIts capacity to incorporate:
- Personalized combs
- Selective microperforation
- Complete binding systems
- Specific fingernails and die-cuts
- Folding modules like Trifold 360
This makes it a strategic tool for any graphic arts company that wants diversify services, reduce processes and increase added value.
In a market where customization and speed are key, having a system that can adapt to every job isn't just an advantage: it's a necessity. And in that arena, the GPM 450 Airspeed is a top contender. Find all the information on the PMA Product website.
