Challenge iCutter 1580

Description of the Challenge iCutter 1580

This mechanical drive paper cutter from Challenge Machinery provides precise, trouble-free operation at an incredible value. The linear guide rail and A/C driven ball-screw deliver smooth, effortless motion. The precise backgauge controls provide accuracy within +/- 0.002.”

The large 15” color touchscreen provides a visual display of backgauge location and proper cut sequence alignment and positioning. The advanced user interface includes machine diagnostics, job storage and retrieval capabilities, error detection and maintenance reminders.

The heavy duty construction of the cast iron and steel frame provides a solid foundation for consistent cut accuracy. The rugged design of the mechanical drive system is ideal for high volume cutting applications where reliability is critical.

The mechanical knife removal system is designed for efficiency and ease of use. One operator can safely replace the blade in ten minutes.

Operator safety is of the utmost importance and the iCutter comes standard with key features such as two-hand activation, timed and non-repeating cut buttons, monitored knife safety latch, infrared safety beams, and overload shear bolt.

The Challenge iCutter series has an optional module that integrates with the HP Indigo workflow package for fully automated cutting jobs. After scanning the job ticket, the iCutter displays the optimal cutting sequence automatically. As an HP SmartStream Partner, labor efficiency can be increased by as much as 170%.
