Advantages
There is no mechanical stressing off the sheet during the cutting process. A high-pressure water-jet cuts the paper at high pressure through a small diameter diamond nozzle. The Jet-Xtm has the following advantages over mechanical tail cutters :
- Not affected by sheet oscillation – critical on high speed machines
- Not affected by sheet speed
- Not affected by sheet moisture
- Not affected by sheet caliper
- Not affected by sheet tension
- Can cut on the dryer cylinder as well as in the ‘open draw’
- Prevents sheet breaks from clean water-jet cut
- Dust free cutting
- No blade sharpening
Features
- Automatic tail poistioning to programmed widhts
- Edge or inside-the-sheet tail transfer
- High cutting pressure – up to 2,000 bar (29,0000 PSI)
- Diamond cutting nozzles for consistent jet and long life
- Single inner beam slide-out assembly for maintenance
The Jet-Xtm 4000 is an automated, dual cut water-jet tail cutter with precise tail positioning capability and ability to move the tail away from the tending side edge before widening out. Jet-Xtm tail cutters are operating worldwide on paper grades including :
