Product Description
This Formax Cut-True 31H Large Format Hydraulic Guillotine Cutter features a hydraulic blade and clamp drive for true two-shift operation, and a rugged heavy-duty construction for precision cutting of paper stacks up to 28" wide and up to 4" high. It has a user-friendly features such as color touchscreen control panel, automatically-adjusting back gauge, an internal light to illuminate the cutting area, and the capacity to program up to 100 jobs/100 cuts. The foot-pedal pre-clamp and bright LED Cutting Line work together allowing operators to see exactly where the blade will cut and to make fine adjustments. The electronically-controlled two-hand operation engages the hardened steel blade for crisp, accurate cuts, every time with a cutting accuracy of 0.1mm on maximum paper stacks. The Cut-True 31H is equipped with an anti-friction ball deck with air-assist and extra-large side tables, making it easier for operators to maneuver large paper stock. The hydraulic clamp pressure is easily adjusted using the pressure gauge knob, to provide the best clamp possible for different paper weights and stack heights. A removable false clamp is included to minimize the risk of marking sensitive paper stock or perfect bound books, and it can be easily removed to decrease the minimum cut length to 1.18", and stored within the machine when not in use. Standard safety features include dual-button operation and an infrared safety curtain which immediately stops operation if the light plane is interrupted. Other safety features include a lock with key, blade lock, automatic blade return from any position, a blade change safety tool, and a wooden paper push for safe alignment. This Formax Cut-True 31H 28" Hydraulic Guillotine Cutter is ideal for transforming large sheets into brochures, invitations and more, and is a great addition to print shops and in-plant finishing operations.
