CPC BT25 Automatic Travelling Head Press
Where high speed output with predictable accuracy and material yields are needed, move up to a GCT automatic travelling head press.
Cutting jobs and patterns are pre-programmed into the machine’s computer or this can be carried out off-line and information sent down to the machine.
Thus, the operator has no more to do than load the material and cutting tool and gather the cut pieces as they emerge from the machine – the machine dictates the speed, accuracy and material yield.
In all cases, the cutting tool is loaded onto the machine’s cutting head which, on 3 axis models, can be rotated to obtain the best fit or interlock of cutting patterns. Cutting can be onto a polypropylene cutting board for easily fed material but the most versatile model uses a moving cutting and feeding belt. This acts both as a cutting barrier and as a conveyor to carry the cut components away from the cutting area.
For work which is exclusively in sheet form a version is available with a powered, mobile, feed table – very popular in the envelope industry.
