Cut Your Run Time

Adams, of MAN Roland, distributor of Wohlenberg cutters, says that units can be ordered with a standard front-loading knife-change device, automatic waste removal system and an auto clamp stop function that allows the clamp to move just a fraction of an inch off the stock after making the cut.

"The backgauge then moves forward and positions the stock for the next cut, and the clamp goes down for full pressure and makes the next cut," he explains. "Because the clamp does not have to travel the total distance back to the top of the knife beam, it actually increases the cutting cycle speed of the cutter."
