AutoKut 160
The heavy-duty AutoKut 160 Slit-to-Width and Cut-to-Length Line has been specifically designed customers needing increased slitting & blanking capacity in a compact machine. The AutoKut 160 is capable of slitting material in thicknesses up to 16 gauge mild steel and blanking up to 14 gauge. The AutoKut 160 comes standard with 5 pairs of slitting blades, the slitter blades can be re-positioned quickly and accurately with the simple setup gauge. Shear cycle time is approximately 1 second.
The Autokut 160’s straightening and feed rollers and slitting shaft adjustments are automatically controlled with the touch of a button as opposed to manually adjusted via levers and gauges. It is intelligently engineered and economically priced for all of its users needs, designed for long term serviceability with all mechanisms on the outside of the machine. Slitter and guillotine blade changes are easy to perform and do not require disassembly of machine. It can accommodate coils up to 49″ wide.
