Frequently Asked Questions
What is a programmable automatic paper cutter used for?
A programmable automatic paper cutter like the Cut-True 28A is used in professional print finishing environments to make precise, repeatable cuts on large volumes of paper. The touchscreen programming allows operators to save custom cutting sequences, eliminating manual measurement and reducing errors in commercial printing, bindery, and finishing operations.
How does the infrared safety curtain protect operators?
The integrated infrared light beam safety curtain creates an invisible protective barrier in front of the cutting blade. If an operator's hand or object breaks the light beam during operation, the blade automatically stops, preventing accidental contact and serious injury. This is a critical safety feature for high-volume cutting environments.
What makes the Cut-True 28A suitable for professional print shops?
The Cut-True 28A combines an 18.9" cutting width with electronically controlled two-hand operation and automatic positioning systems, making it ideal for professional environments. The touchscreen programming capability, automatic clamp and back gauge, and integrated safety systems ensure consistent accuracy across thousands of cuts while maintaining operator safety and reducing labor costs.
Can the Cut-True 28A handle different paper sizes?
Yes, the electric guillotine cutter accommodates sheets up to 18.9" wide and 3.15" high, making it versatile for standard letter, legal, and custom-sized cutting applications. The programmable touchscreen allows you to store multiple job profiles for different paper sizes and cutting patterns, enabling quick job changeovers.
