Paper Cutters Honing a Competitive Edge

The XT color-display touchscreen programmer for Champion 30.5˝ and 37˝ hydraulic paper cutters enable job setups to be done on a PC and downloaded to the cutter via floppy disk. By opening the job on the display, the preprogrammed task can be run easily and accurately by the operator, Gould says.

Challenge's top-of-the-line Champion 305 XT cutter features a variable-speed pinpoint backgauge control and electronic clamp pressure control. It uses hydraulic cutting and clamping action to enable cutting lifts up to its four-inch clamp opening.
