microcut JR® – Backgauge Control System
microcut JR® is designed to automate backgauge movement on any paper cutter, 37 inches (92 cm) or smaller. The benefits include increased productivity, greater accuracy and improved reliability.
An easy-to-read liquid crystal display, featuring icons and symbols, guides the operator through all programming operations. 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 JR® moves the backgauge into the correct position faster and more accurately than skilled manual operation. The confidence of computer-controlled precision translates into significant productivity increases – often 50% and more. The system’s proprietary DC drive assures mechanical repeatability of the backgauge position to ± .002 inch (.05 mm) regardless of lead screw wear.
