Fotoba XLA 320
The Fotoba XLA 320 is an automatic X/Y cutter engineered to process wide-format media up to 3.2 metres in width. Powered by a barcode reading system, it automatically recognises different print sizes and adjusts the position of all vertical blades without any operator intervention. With built-in X/Y axis correction and full compatibility with both rolls and sheets, the XLA 320 delivers fast, precise, and repeatable finishing for high-volume production environments.
Key Features
The Fotoba XLA 320 takes industrial-scale print finishing to a new level — automatically reading barcodes, positioning blades, and trimming variable sizes across a 3.2-metre cutting width, entirely without operator adjustment.
No manual setup. No errors. No downtime. Just high-speed, precision cutting at up to 18 metres per minute.
Fast. Productive. Precise. Reliable — the ultimate wide-format digital finishing solution for large-scale production.
The Fotoba XLA 320 redefines digital print finishing with its fully automatic vertical blade positioning system. By reading a barcode printed on the media, the XLA 320 instantly recognises the print size and adjusts all vertical blades automatically — eliminating the need for manual slitter adjustment entirely. Combined with X/Y blade image tracking, it is capable of unattended trimming with precision random sizes in the same roll, making it one of the most advanced automatic X/Y cutters of its kind.
This advanced level of automation dramatically increases production throughput, improves cutting precision, and eliminates the human errors that are commonly caused by manual blade adjustments. Setup time is significantly reduced, production costs come down, and results remain consistent — roll after roll, job after job.
What makes the XLA 320 a smart long-term investment is its sustainability profile. Operating at just 350W, it consumes up to 96% less energy compared to conventional flatbed cutters. With no consumables, minimal maintenance requirements, and low running costs, the XLA 320 is designed to optimise your finishing workflow without adding operational overhead.
The cutter can also handle standard-size jobs with ease, replicating the simplicity of the XLD series with even greater user-friendliness. Limited operator training is needed, making it suitable for teams at all skill levels.
