OPTIONS

Material slitting mechanism to automatically cut wedge material to desired width.  Material width to be at least 3.2 mm (0.125 inches) greater than desired final width.

  • Second material supply.
  • Skewed armatures are accommodated with machine set at an angle to material handling.
  • IC-2000 Industrial Computer Control System.
  • Variable cut length feature using servo motor.
  • Lamination stack heights preset in touch screen under part number.

TOOLING

  • Tooling to accommodate most insulating materials including rag, paper, laminates, mylar or other similar plastic materials and laminates.  Thicker materials require custom designs.
