Minimize downtime and make job changeovers seamless

Built for flexibility and precision, CutReady delivers clean, guillotine-quality cuts on a wide range of applications and media weights — from lightweight flyers to heavy postcards and book covers — all from a single printed roll.

With on-the-fly format length changes driven by 2D Datamatrix codes or pre-programmed job definitions, CutReady can efficiently produce variable-sized commercial print applications such as postcards, dust jackets, calendars, posters, banners, and portraits — without stopping the line.

With a modular design, output can be delivered to either a shingling conveyor or vibrating collection box, depending on production needs. CutReady features gutter/ trim knife cartridges for quick and operator-friendly setup, minimizing downtime and making job changeovers seamless.

Modular System Options

Vibrating Collecting Box

The Vibrating Collecting Box jogs large sheets, such as book covers or posters, into an aligned pile for easier removal. It may be positioned at the exit of the Cutter c7 or at the exit of the Shingling Conveyor TC 0250.

Stacker

Add the Stacker s12 to the Cutter c7 to collect straight or offset stacks of cut output to feed to a conveyor for convenient stack removal and finishing flexibility.

In-Line Finishing

Connect the Cutter c7 to deliver individual sheets to a third-party finishing device such as a saddle-stitcher or signature folder, for inline finishing of books and booklet applications.

Roll Cart

A variety of roll carts are available to hold and transport rolls up to 23” wide for easy handling. Roll cart maneuvers smoothly to permit easy, quick loading of rolls from a pallet to the unwinder, completely eliminating manual lifting.
