CS350/550 are versatile roll-to-sheet guillotine sheeters

The CS350/550 are GM’s latest high-speed guillotine sheeters providing cutting with a high accuracy of ± 0,15 mm.

The machines cut the web into sheets at a speed of up to 30 m/min or up to 14,000 sheets/hour depending on the selected cutting length.

The CS350/550 offers a web width of 350/550 mm and operates with most digital label presses on the market. They are built for both in-line and offline operations, and they are compatible with the entire line of GM converters.

The sheeters are developed to cut not only labels but other heavy materials such as carton boxes for the pharmaceuticals and cosmetics sector, folding cartons used for packaging in the tobacco industry and display blisters.

The sheeters can be additionally equipped with optional rotating shear knives for length slitting or side cutting, as well as wheels, allowing the machine to be easily moved when needed.

Intuitive setting of operating parameters on the touch display and the machines cut according to a very large variety of criteria and contain many time-saving options.

• Touch display setting of label quantity per sheet and other job information
• Cutting operations according to one of the following criteria:
  • Label intervals by photocell
  • Length measured by an encoder (1/10mm interval)
  • Print mark by a print mark read or capacitive sensor (“clear on clear”). (Optional equipment)
    
    
• Unwind mandrel with separate motor
• Conveyor belt with a stack and total counter
• Automatic register control adjusts for changes in the sheeter speed
• Warning (and stop) when the unwinder is nearly empty
• Automatic stop in case of unintentional operation of the unwind section
• "Window detector” allowing for cutting jobs without register mark and for the stop of the sheeter in case of missing label or matrix faults (1 lane)
• Suspension of cutting while unusable paper runs through the sheeter
• Switch-over from 1/10mm to 1/100inches when cutting by length
• When the sheeter is switched off, all settings are preserved (battery backup)
• Switch over to inline operation (optional equipment)
• Optional length slitting with rotating shear knives
