Product Summary
microcut BASIC is designed to automate backgauge movement on any
paper cutter, regardless of brand or size. The benefits include
increased productivity, greater accuracy, and improved reliability.
A large, multilingual, liquid crystal display guides the operator
through all programming operations. Setup 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 BASIC moves the backgauge into the 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 patented
DC servo drive assures mechanical repeatability of the backgauge
position to ± .002 inch (.05 mm) regardless of leadscrew wear.
microcut BASIC memorizes cutting sequences instantly, stores them
indefinitely, and recalls them at the touch of a button. The system
frees the operator from the wasted time and risk of error associated
with repetitive manual positioning. The ability to automatically
program a job while cutting the first lift turns setup time into
productive time, making automation effective for even two and three lift
jobs.
Keyboard entry and review of programs is quick and easy. Advanced
programming options include label and sheet divide, allowing complicated
jobs to be programmed with only a few data entries. Fractions, lay
changes, additions, or deletions can be easily entered through the
keyboard. Non-volatile memory insures data retention.
A proprietary power console accepts a broad range of voltages, 50 or 60
Hz, and has an optional provision for control of air on the cutter
table.
Many paper cutters already have some form of automatic backgauge
control, but may have become difficult and expensive to maintain. These
machines are generally sound mechanically and, with the addition of microcut BASIC,
can quickly and easily be returned to a high level of productivity and
reliability for a fraction of the cost of a new machine.
All microcut® systems are designed for ease of
operation and years of trouble-free service. In the unlikely event
service is required, on-board diagnostics, together with modular
construction and plug-in connectors, insure Microsystem's ability to provide timely and responsive after-sale support
