Maxson Automatic introduces specialty sheeter for the photographic papers market

WESTERLY, RI, Sept. 7, 2011 (Press Release) -

MAXSON AUTOMATIC MACHINERY COMPANY (Westerly RI USA) announces a specialty sheeter designed for the photographic papers market. Equipped with a shaftless roll stand, the sheeting line includes a precision cutter, delivery section, stacking station and off-loading conveyor unit that eliminates the need for manual contact when discharging reams of sheets.

The cutter's dual motor drive sheet length control provides + 0.010" (+ 0.25 mm) accuracy on cut offs between 15" - 60" (380 - 1525 mm) lengths and up to 65" (1564 mm) widths. The cutter is outfitted with an automatic squaring system that requires no Operator adjustment.

Designed to accommodate a wide range of photographic papers and format sizes, the sheeter includes a reject gate that diverts sample sheets or off quality material from the stacking station. The delivery system includes a continuous run design that allows the sheeter to operate while discharging ream counts in increments as small as 25 sheets.

The stacking system uses air floatation and an extending grid to gently pile and automatically discharge large sheet format sizes. The off loading conveyor delivers the reams of sheets to the packaging process, without Operator intervention.
