How Does a Pre Cut Machine Work?
-
The moving web passes through tension and guiding systems to ensure perfect alignment and stable speed.
-
Rotary shafts equipped with precision circular blades perform the cutting. The web runs between the blades and a backup (contrast) roller for clean, accurate cuts.
-
Longitudinal Pre-Cut: Multiple blades slit the web lengthwise into narrower lanes or create easy-tear lines.
Cross Pre-Cut: Circular blades make short transverse micro-cuts for controlled tearing or easy opening.
-
Pre-cut modules can be seamlessly installed in existing production or converting lines, synchronized with line speed and registration sensors for exact positioning.
-
Micrometric blade adjustment and servo control ensure consistent cut depth, repeatability, and minimal material stress — key for high-speed packaging and converting applications.
