Glen Arm, Maryland based SUN Automation Group (SUN) announced the market performance of its rotary die cutter, the SUN625 HD. In just over a year, the heavy-duty rotary die cutter has gained traction in the industry, securing 10 orders across the United States from domestic box plants. SUN said the rapid adoption highlights the SUN625 HD’s value in meeting today’s high-volume production demands across US manufacturing facilities.
“In today’s competitive market, box plants require equipment with low operational costs, high reliability, and maximum machine uptime,” said Eric Aulton, Product Manager, Rotary Die Cutting at SUN. “They need machinery that can handle a wide variety of board configurations — accommodating different weights, flute types, and calipers — while also supporting increased cut and crease rule demands for heavy-duty packaging applications. The SUN625 HD is exceeding these expectations.”
As the evolution of SUN’s flagship rotary die cutter, the SUN625 HD integrates advanced engineering — achieving a 300 percent increase in load capacity, a 500 percent boost in fatigue resistance, and a 60 percent reduction in deflection under load over the original SUN625. This structural robustness enables high-efficiency production from lightweight single-wall to heavy-duty double-wall with minimized operational costs, SUN said.
The SUN625 HD comes equipped with Helios, SUN’s proprietary IIoT solution, which provides real-time performance analytics and predictive maintenance capabilities. This technology is designed to enable box plants to optimize overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), eliminate unplanned downtime, and enhance operational efficiency.
The installation process for the SUN625 HD is completed in approximately 10 days, followed by a 7-day training program covering classroom instruction and hands-on machine training. “The corrugated market’s positive response to the SUN625 HD validates our commitment to innovation, reliable performance, and quality,” said Greg Jones, Executive Vice President of SUN Automation Group. “We’re excited to continue setting industry benchmarks in reliability and high-quality production for box plants.”
