Automatic Cross Cutter CT25

Application

The cutter is designed both for cutting a continuous web into sheets and for separating sheets after double-sided lamination (encapsulation). It can operate as a standalone machine or as part of a production line.

Predefined programs allow various cutting positions, including cutting according to printed marks, before or after a mark, between double lines, and completely removing the area containing the marks.

Configuration and control

As standard, the material roll is mounted on a fixed shaft with a mechanical brake. Optionally, the CT25 can be equipped with an expanding shaft with an electromagnetic brake.

Web tension during unwinding is stabilized by a dancer system, which compensates for changes in material tension and eliminates slack occurring during unwinding. This ensures stable web transport and repeatable cutting conditions.

The cutting unit is servo-driven, providing precise synchronization between the cutting cycle and material transport.

The machine is equipped with a Mitsubishi operator panel with a touch screen. The operator can select the required operating mode and set the corresponding process parameters directly from the control panel.

Standalone and in-line operation

An optional web buffer allows the CT25 to operate in line with other equipment, such as a laminator or printer. The buffer compensates for temporary differences in operating speed between the connected machines and ensures stable web feeding to the cutter.
