ESS modification
The FSA 870 Compact gives the option for an enlarged stamping area. The runnable size sheet size then extends up to 870 x 600mm /34.3" x 23.6" for board, and 855 x 600mm /33.7" x 23.6" for paper. The enlarged stamping area of 800 x 592 mm / 31.5" x 23.3” typically allows for one additional row of dies.
Visualisation and inspection equipment
- A single camera video system for print quality monitoring can be supplied
- For inspection and observation of the quality of high gloss reflecting foil stamped areas, a state of the art system for fault detection based on incremental reading is available. This works also for hologram application in security applications
Standalone or inline operation
The dedicated substrate feeding device allows for an integration in all kinds of webfed systems. An infeed and outfeed web buffering system enables a perfect synchronisation to be achieved between the platen press. It is possible to vary the infeed and outfeed substrate web speeds. The system can run with rotary, semi rotary or combination drive web presses. The press does work as a standalone with its own substrate web unwind and rewind unit or cross cutter.
Gietz machine user interface (GUI)
The newly developed interface features a touch optimized screen with self-explanatory icons and controls. Higher security and easy learning trough context-sensitive real time help is available. The Intuitive instructions for hands on training, can reduce familiarization time for new operators. If requested, a quick remote support by the Gietz Service Helpdesk is possible.

Dynamic foil web transport
The press features a dynamic foil web transport for up to 2 foil feeds. The 90 degrees rotating foiling unit allows for the foils to be run along with or transverse to the substrate web running direction. The friction un- and rewinders allow the use of single or multiple webs and thus offer maximum application flexibility.
Ergonomic and optimized design to reduce setup time
The user-friendly design of the machine makes set-up and change over straightforward. The setting of dies and counterparts is easy, without any disconnection of the substrate web. Perfect make-ready possibilities are accessible underneath the counter plate. The changing of foils is user-friendly and handled conveniently on top of the machine.
Foil feeding device
The foil feeding device consists of rollers, graduated bars and brake blocks. There is a specific reference numbering to position the foil, starting from the unwinding section and reaching to the hot foil stamping unit. This system allows perfect stripe application in the longitudinal substrate web direction. Additionally, an electronic web guide system allows perfect alignment between the substrate web and the hologram stripe.
No foil waste
Swing away delivery stack
The Gietz HTF machines are designed for a maximum operating comfort. Swing away delivery stacks allow optimal access to the forming stations, which enables a comfortable and quick set-up. The horizontal delivery of the completed trays simplifies the removal of erected trays at optimal height and with a minimum number of operators.
Flanging Station
Enlarging the Gietz HTF 940 with a tray edge reinforcing station is quick and easy at any time. Fixed by hot glue, single or double folded reinforcement flanges are possible either on the inside or on the outside of the carton tray. This reinforces the trays for stronger resistance and better handiness.
