Yes, we have a brochure where you’ll find listed the machines’ characteristics. You can also find and see some videos on Youtube or on www.galileoweedingmachine.com

Galileo WM is available with one model: maximum sheets’ size 75×75 cm (29.5×29.5 inches) .

Galileo WM 75 has an automatic feeder and an unloading device.

Absolutely! Galileo WM can be considered to be 2.5 times faster (on average) than a normal plotter/cutting systems.

The machine needs at least 1 cm on side and back borders and 2.5 cm on front border.

The machine needs at least 1 cm on side and back borders and 2.5 cm on front border.

They have to be placed in the corners of the sheet and the diameter to be considered for markers is 7mm.

The machine’s speed is adjustable. The pick up time for the micro weeding is about 1.5 seconds for each pick up operation.

Yes, it is possible to support customers by making a remote connection.

The training lasts approx. 2 weeks at our premises and it’s free of charge. For the training it will be necessary to consider 1 operator (for the machine) and one designer (with graphic knowledge).

The machine has been conceived to reduce wear at the very minimum stage for the mechanical parts and as a consequence the needs for maintenance as well.

The consumption of adhesive tape for the micro-weeding varies depending from the size of the scraps to be removed. It can anyway collect at least 15.000 pick up operations.

For the macro-weeding the mandrel needs to be changed approx. every 100 linear meters, but the time for the change is extremely fast.

At present there are 10 machines installed (size 75 x 75 cm) and all of them perfectly working.

Some of them work even on 3 shifts.

Yes, the machine can work 24 h/day and does not need any particular maintenance. Just the change of the consumables (carton mandrel for the macro weeding and the tape for collecting the micro weeding). The maintenance has been reduced at the minimum in order to increase the life of both the mechanical and the electrical components.

The same operator that manages the cutting system/ plotter can run the Galileo WM at the same time.

With 3-4 training days the operator normally working at the plotter will be able to manage the machine independently.

The software “Galileo Remover Tool” (that is provided with the machine) manages and elaborates .DXF files and creates two files: one to be send to the plotter and another property file (extension .esa) to be loaded on the Galileo Weeding Machine for the automatic weeding operation.

The actual version can be sheet feeded. Loader Capacity 500 sheets.

The smallest sheets’ size we can weed is 20×30 cm with Galileo WM 75.

For the machine you’ll need electrical connection and dry compressed air.

From our experience and from the experience of our customers, WM has the maximum integration with the plotters/cutting systems.

Sure. The machine is able to detect and read linear deformations and the roto-translation of the sheet and is able to adapt consequently.

Adhesive flexible materials and films in sheet format.
