I work under contract with distributors Animat (Meech) and Sportera (Zünd, Eurolaser), and collaborate with a network of specialized engineering partners.

Can you help optimize existing production processes?

Yes. Beyond maintenance, I offer process analysis and optimization consulting: identifying bottlenecks, recommending automation upgrades, performing software updates to improve efficiency, energy optimization of existing systems, and advising on new equipment purchases. The goal is not just to repair, but to improve throughput and reduce operating costs.

What is static electricity elimination and why does it matter in printing?

Static electricity builds up on fast-moving webs and sheets during printing, converting, and packaging processes. It causes material misfeeds, dust attraction, ink transfer problems, and operator shocks. I install and maintain Meech static control systems — including Hyperion™ ionising bars for charge neutralization, CyClean™ non-contact web cleaners for particle removal on roll-to-roll applications, and VacClean™ vacuum-based cleaning systems. Proper static elimination improves print quality, reduces waste, and increases production speed.

What types of digital cutting systems do you support?

I am authorized for installation and maintenance of Zünd digital cutting systems, including the G3, S3, D3, and Q-Line series — modular flatbed cutters used in signage, packaging, textiles, and composites. I also service Eurolaser CO2 laser cutting systems for non-metallic materials. My work covers complete machine installation, initial commissioning, blade and tool calibration, software configuration, preventive maintenance, and troubleshooting.

What does preventive maintenance include?

Preventive maintenance covers scheduled inspections, cleaning, lubrication, and calibration of mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic systems. I check wear parts, tighten connections, verify sensor alignments, test safety interlocks, and document machine condition. The goal is to catch problems before they cause unplanned downtime — extending equipment life and reducing emergency callouts.

What is static electricity control in printing and packaging?

Static charges build up naturally on fast-moving webs, films, and sheets during printing and converting. They cause dust attraction, material misfeeds, ink transfer defects, and operator shocks. Static control systems — like Meech Hyperion™ ionising bars and CyClean™ web cleaners — neutralize these charges and remove surface particles. Proper static management is critical for print quality, waste reduction, and production speed in flexo, digital, and converting operations.

Do you work with ABG Digicon and Omega converting lines?

Yes. I completed factory training at ABG International and have extensive field experience with the Digicon Series 3 (die-cutting, slitting, rewinding), Omega SR and SRI (semi-rotary converting), Vectra (turret rewinders), Horizon (inspection), and FleyeVision (100% print inspection). I handle diagnostics, servo drive calibration, web tension adjustments, blade setup, and preventive maintenance across the ABG product range.

What UV curing systems do you service?

I am factory-trained on GEW UV curing systems including AeroLED (LED UV), LeoLED, and conventional arc lamp systems (E2C, E4C, VCP). My work covers lamp replacement, reflector cleaning, shutter calibration, power supply diagnostics, and integration of UV systems into flexo and digital printing lines. I also handle UV system upgrades from conventional mercury lamps to LED UV technology.

Can you service Domino N610i inkjet systems?

Yes. I am factory-trained on the Domino N610i digital inkjet printing press — a high-speed UV inkjet system widely used in narrow-web label production. My work covers print head maintenance and replacement, ink system servicing, color calibration, and integration troubleshooting. I also service the Domino K600 series and related industrial DOD and inkjet marking systems used in packaging and coding applications.

Availability & Coverage

What countries do you cover for field service?

I actively perform field service across Slovenia, Croatia, and the wider Central/Eastern Europe region: Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia, and Poland. Based in Petrovče near Celje, Slovenia, I have excellent road and air connections to the entire region.

How fast is emergency response for machine breakdowns?

For critical production stoppages in Slovenia, I can typically arrive within 2-4 hours. Standard interventions are scheduled within 24 hours. For regional callouts across the Central/Eastern Europe, response time is 24-48 hours depending on location. Customers with a maintenance contract receive 24/7 priority emergency support.

Is weekend and holiday service available?

Regular working hours are Monday-Friday, 7:00-15:00. Weekend and holiday interventions are available exclusively for maintenance contract holders and for critical production failures requiring immediate attention. Planned maintenance is always scheduled during standard business hours.

What industries do you serve?

I serve a wide range of industries where precision machinery requires expert maintenance: printing and packaging (flexo, digital, offset), label and converting, textile and signage (digital cutting, laser cutting), food and pharmaceutical packaging, and general industrial manufacturing. My experience spans narrow-web label presses, wide-format cutting tables, UV curing systems, inkjet printing, and static control installations.

What languages do you speak for on-site service?

I communicate fluently in Slovenian (native), English, and German. I also have technical working proficiency in Croatian and Serbian. This covers communication needs across my entire operational area of 12 countries in Central and Eastern Europe — from client briefings and operator training to technical documentation and reporting.

How far do you travel for service calls?

I am based in Petrovče near Celje, Slovenia and actively service 12 countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia, and Poland. For critical breakdowns in Slovenia, I can be on-site within 2-4 hours. Regional callouts typically take 24-48 hours including travel. Air connections from Ljubljana and Graz extend my reach across the region.

Billing & Contracts

How is field service work billed and priced?

Pricing is transparent and agreed upfront. Diagnostics and repairs are billed at an hourly rate. Preventive maintenance uses a fixed price by agreement. Larger projects — control cabinet assembly, system installations, module retrofits — are quoted as a project price. Travel costs are calculated by distance, and materials are charged at purchase price plus a small overhead. I always provide a written quote before starting work.

What warranty comes with completed maintenance work?

All completed work carries a 6-12 month warranty depending on the scope. Installed spare parts are covered by the manufacturer's original warranty. If a fault occurs due to my work, I provide free correction at no additional cost. Every intervention is documented in detail for full traceability.

Do you offer preventive maintenance contracts?

Yes. I offer tailored maintenance contracts that include: regular inspections on a monthly, quarterly, or annual schedule, preventive replacement of wear parts, priority 24/7 emergency support, fixed monthly costs for predictable budgeting, and detailed logging of every intervention and equipment condition. Preventive maintenance significantly reduces unplanned downtime and extends equipment lifespan.

Working With Me

What information do you need before a service intervention?

To prepare effectively, I need: a clear problem description (phone or email), access to machine documentation if available, a contact person on-site, safety information for hazardous environments, and a preferred time window for the intervention. Sending photos or video of the fault beforehand helps with preliminary diagnosis and faster resolution.

How can I contact you for service requests?

You can reach me by phone (24/7 for maintenance contract customers) or email . For emergency breakdowns, contract customers should call directly. For scheduled maintenance, quotes, or general inquiries, email is preferred.

Can you service machines from manufacturers not listed on your website?

Yes. My expertise in industrial electronics, PLC programming, and mechanical systems applies broadly across manufacturers. If your equipment involves standard industrial components — servo drives, PLCs, HMI panels, pneumatics, or electrical systems — I can likely diagnose and repair it regardless of brand. Contact me with the details and I will assess whether I can help.

Do you offer web development or custom application services?

Yes. Alongside industrial services, I build custom websites and web applications using Pulse Engine — a proprietary PHP framework developed in-house. For websites, I use Pulse Flow (one-page sites) and Pulse Atlas (multi-page sites) — both flat-file, zero-database, zero-CMS, delivering sub-50ms page loads and 90+ Lighthouse scores with built-in multi-language support and SEO-first architecture. For web applications, Pulse Forge provides a full application framework with database support, module routing, and dashboard interfaces — ideal for internal tools, data management, and business applications. No WordPress, no third-party plugins, no maintenance burden.

What materials can a Zünd digital cutter handle?

Zünd modular flatbed cutters process a wide range of materials: vinyl, foam board, corrugated cardboard, textiles, leather, composites, rubber, gasket materials, and thin metals. Different tool modules — oscillating knife, drag knife, router, punch, and crease wheel — allow precision cutting of materials from 0.1 mm films to 50+ mm rigid boards. I handle installation, tool calibration, and ongoing maintenance of the full G3, S3, D3, and Q-Line range.

What is CO2 laser cutting used for?

Eurolaser CO2 laser systems cut and engrave non-metallic materials with high precision and clean edges — no tool wear, no mechanical contact. Typical materials include acrylics, textiles, wood, MDF, leather, foam, paper, and filter media. Applications range from signage and architectural models to industrial gaskets and textile production. I service the full Eurolaser range from compact System L units to large-format 3XL textile systems.

What is the difference between Hyperion ionising bars and CyClean web cleaners?

Hyperion™ ionising bars neutralize static charges on surfaces by emitting positive and negative ions — they solve material handling problems (misfeeds, sticking, sparks) but do not remove particles. CyClean™ non-contact web cleaners use boundary layer technology to lift and vacuum loose particles from moving webs — they solve contamination problems (dust spots, print defects). Many installations combine both: Hyperion bars to neutralize static followed by CyClean units to remove debris.
