Versa Machinery to feature high-speed cutter-pullers at NPE

Elkhart, IN– Versa Machinery will feature servo powered High Speed Cutter/Puller Systems capable of feeding, measuring, and then cutting extruded materials to exact lengths at up to 3000 cuts/minute (up to 6000 cuts/minute with two knife option) in NPE booth #W6489. With exclusive Adaptive Cutting Technology software, these robust machines provide a broad range of cutting capabilities. The systems software makes the necessary calculations to determine the best cutting mode for each application. An operator simply enters the line speed and cut length through an easy-to-use panel view interface and the ACT software does the rest. Complete systems include a servo-controlled cutter, a servo controlled pinch roller or caterpillar feeder, with integral cut length and batch controls. Length counter adjustable from .001” to 999.999”. Versa high speed cutter/puller systems accurately cut plastic and rubber tubing, shapes, and profiles to 3-inches in diameter (OD).

Material is gripped by a pair of rollers or caterpillar belts and pushed through closely spaced bushings for precision cutting by a high-speed, razor-sharp knife. The servo-controlled feeder provides precise control of the line speed. The feeder servo is electronically linked to the cutter servo to provide accurate control of cut lengths.

Three modes of operation provide the flexibility for cutting a wide variety of extruded products.

Bushings are available in sizes to match the diameter of the material being cut. One set of bored bushings or two sets of blank bushings provided with each machine.

Versa High Speed Cutter/Puller Systems are manufactured in Elkhart, IN with industry leading lead times.

In addition to High-Speed Cutter/Puller Systems, Versa manufactures Corrugated Tube Cutters, cutter modules, and puller modules. Their caterpillar and pinch roll pullers are also available, with or without motors & drives. Ideal for many material handling applications, these robust pullers can be incorporated into OEM equipment, or used within end-user plants to aid in safe and efficient movement of materials.
