Sheeter Handles Up To 4 Rolls At Once
A new sheeter designed for low-volume printers and converters that require a cost-effective alternative to purchasing sheeted stock has been introduced by Maxson Automatic Machinery Company.
Machine's Accurate Sheets For Converters, Printers
The new Cut to Register sheeter gives converters and commercial printers accurate sheeting to a registration mark on a variety of pre-printed materials.
A continuous operating system on the sheeter is provided to allow sheeted material to be accumulated until completed pile is removed, said the company.
The sheeter's cutting section includes knives mounted in an upper and lower rotating cylinders.
The cylinders accelerate and decelerate during each revolution such that the peripheral speed of the blades and the speed of the web are equal at the cutting point, maintaining sheet length accuracy and squareness, said Maxson.
The cutting action eliminates the skive along the leading and trailing edge on thicknesses up to 0.060" (1.5mm) thick, without producing slivers.
Using a clash arrangement, the operator can safely adjust the cross cutting blades, whilst the cutter is running.
The Maxson SDFK sheeter can handle cut lengths from 11" - 2,000" (279mm - 51,000mm) at speeds up to 300 feet per minute (90 metres per minute).
Equipped with a reject gate, out of specification sheets or sample cuts used for quality assurance inspections can be diverted from the sheet flow to the stacker to a customer supplied bin.
When outfitted with the continuous run design, the in-line configuration of the sheeter is claimed to allow for non-stop operation whilst a full pallet of sheeted material is offloaded and an empty skid is raised in to position.
