The system is a complete clamp/cut control system that can replace an existing control system and is available as an OEM package for new machines.

(The system requires installation of a microcut PLUS WS backgauge control system for the operator interface.)

The microcut® Transcend Control System Components:

Transcend Control PCB: Controls all clamping, cutting and safety pin operation. Safety and expansion CPUs for monitoring, cross verification and full machine control.

Knife Position Monitor: Monitors and sends knife motion and position status to the control system.

Clamp Encoder Assembly (optional): Monitors clamp motion for clamp lead (knife delay). Can interface to MIS system for paper height computations.

Power panel: Interfaces the AC power components (main motor, air motor) and circuit breakers (H3 drive and DC power supplies).

Safety Curtains: The system can interface with multiple curtain options.

The benefits include increased productivity, greater accuracy and improved reliability.

 

A full-color, 8" wide format touchscreen display guides the operator, with all operations presented in an intuitive, easy-to-understand format. Set-up is fast and simple, with no complicated codes to memorize or reference. The current backgauge position is clearly displayed in inches, centimeters or millimeters, depending on operator preference.

 

microcut COLOR WS® moves the backgauge into correct position faster and more accurately than skilled manual operation. The confidence of computer-controlled precision translates into significant increases in productivity - often 50% and more. The system's proprietary DC drive assures mechanical repeatability of the backgauge position to ± .002 inches (.05 mm) regardless of lead screw wear

 

Advantages at a glance

  • Automatic computation and entry of fractions
  • Insertion or deletion of commands from existing programs
  • Stock eject, turnaround, loading points and job information
  • Infinite lay compensate mode for as many sides as requested
  • Non-volatile memory - no batteries required for memory support
  • Optional auxiliary controls for air and/or brake
  • Self-diagnostic electronics
  • For all size paper cutters
  • 8” wide format touchscreen display
  • Windows® based operating system
  • Graphic interface
  • USB port for software updates
  • Modular, solid state circuitry
  • Proprietary DC motor drive system
  • Microprocessor-controlled, infinitely variable backgauge drive
  • Automatic backgauge return
  • Measurements in inches, centimeters, millimeters
  • Program entry or correction, through the keyboard with the backgauge stationary or while cutting the lift
