Key Features & Benefits
Cardan Shaft Drive Ensures Smooth & Balanced Feed
• Full cardan shaft drive with individual worm gearboxes provides synchronized motion and maintenance-free operation.
• Consistent power to each roller station reduces vibration and enhances cut quality.
• Powered rise and fall beam delivers heavy-duty support with 1 HP motor.
Rigid Support Beam Enhances Cutting Accuracy
• The upper support beam is mounted on a central column for added rigidity during operation.
• Feed rolls and safety switches adjust automatically with the beam's motion.
• Infeed/outfeed rolls, along with top feed rolls, are pneumatically tensioned for precision.
5-Head Configuration Delivers Maximum Versatility
