Features

Optimum eye-level monitoring – Controls are at eye-level and within easy reach.
Easy-access cutter motor – Quick-remove cover for easy access to motor during maintenance.
Visible cutter head – Clear knife guard lets you view rotating cutter head, blade(s) during operation.
Built-in cleaning – Stainless steel blade lubrication tray cleans and lubricates the blade(s) with each pass, and the cutting chamber includes a fitting for drainage.
Controlled extrudate grip – Adjust belts and control tension on material by opening/closing belt gap with an easy turn.
Centered, guided material – Adjustable rollers guide material into the belts.
Precise pulling – Servo drive uniformly draws and pushes material through to the cutter.
Upgrade to Emerson 3.25 Hp velocity servo e-drive with plus minus 1/100 percent set speed regulation and additional lower torque at lower speeds including a serial operator interface with feet per minute and totalizing footage counter.

In-line gearbox reducer

Lessens the maintenance required by traditional belt-and-pulley designs. The reducer improves torque performance, improves side load capabilities and extends the life of the servo motor.

Upper and lower belt guards

Protect the user and are easily removed when changing the belts of the cutter.

Standard touchscreen features include:

Full-color graphics
Large easy-to-read display
Selectable cutting modes, blade speed and Start/Stop functions
Total access to servo drives for tuning and service

Frequently Asked Questions

More torque and motor life

Eliminating maintenance while improving performance, Conair’s unique, in-line gear reducer improves torque while reducing maintenance. CRM and Helical bevel reducers are used on the puller drive system.

Intuitive operator control

The CPC features a user-friendly, 10-inch {254mm} touchscreen with high visibility graphics and intuitive commands for controlling the puller and cutter. A large pop-up “soft” keypad makes recipe entry fast and easy.

Cutting capacity to 3.75 inches

Choose belt widths from up 3 to 4 inches {76.2 to 101.6 mm} and nominal traction lengths to 26 inches {660.4 mm}. Belt options are available for cutting corrugated plastic.

Options

Remote belt speed control with ten turn potentiometer and digital speed display with one hundred feet of cable
Electronic totalizing footage counter
Digital belt gap sensor
Cutting torque horse power upgrade to 4.4 Hp continuous duty positional servo controller
Stainless steel cutter head in place of standard aluminum cutter head for additional inertia
Second axis slide base provides unobstructed access to the puller belts for processes which do not require a cutting mode
Variable blade speed in both on demand and flywheel cut mode
Follower cutting mode featuring operator programs desired cut length and number of blades. Controller takes the encoder input and automatically ratios the cutter head to the puller speed
Electric eye and bracket for use with end sense mode, for optimizing cut to length accuracy. This unit is designed for cutting rigid parts from 4 to 24 inches long. ( Note: it is always required to send in samples of product for proper application and set up of an electric eye.)
Stainless steel cutter bushings bored to size for round product
Blade wipe system includes brackets and felt pad mounted on the top of the brushing holder and lubricant bottle with sight valve
Bushing lubrication system includes spray system with reservoir and nozzle and connection for customer supplied pressurized air. Spray is directed on a product at entry to cutter bushing to minimize drag associated to sticky and flexible extrusions
Multiple lengths and batches, up to three additional lengths with associated batch counts, for use with timer and encoder mode
Host microprocessor interface connections
Timer mode
