Paper Cutters Honing a Competitive Edge

A unique feature of Itoh cutters is the ability to program the clamp dwell time, LDR's Porter says. The clamp can be set to stay down for up to 10 seconds after the cutting cycle, so the material can be jogged up against it without the operator having to keep the foot pedal pressed down. The cutters also feature a chrome bed, central lubrication and access to all knife adjustments from the front of the machine to save time and facilitate maintenance. Itoh cutters are equipped with Windows-based software, so if and when customers want to utilize CIP4 the manufacturer will be able to upgrade the software, Porter says.
