microcut COLOR WS® – Backgauge Control System

microcut COLOR WS® 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 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
