Micro-Perf & Cut
Multi-Tool

Now You Can Produce Letterpress Style Micro-Perforating And Guillotine Quality Cutting Applications From One Ingenious Device 

Are you tired of those blunt slitting blades that cause rough cutting on your folding machine or burred and rusty micro-perf blades with fragile teeth that sometimes break off? Don't you get  frustrated at having to outsource work because your existing perforation device is too harsh for the delicate application your customer demands?

Don't you sometimes wonder why folding machine manufacturers haven't designed a combination device that produces razor sharp cutting and letterpress quality micro-perforating that minimises or even eliminates outsourcing?

Do you tell yourself the same things?

• If better quality cutting and perforating could be achieved on my folder the machine manufacturers would have produced it already
• Only a flatbed Cylinder can guarantee fine and flat micro-perforating to the standard our top customers require
• It's impossible to get guillotine quality cutting on a folding machine

It's a fact that 99% of folding machine operators would agree with the statements listed above based on their own experience; so please read on as we have some great news for you. The bottom line is that no person or company had ever researched the reasons why standard folding machine accessories fall short of our expectations until now.

Here are the three main reasons why your rotary micro-perforating and cutting methods fail to produce the quality standards your customers demand

1. 12 TPI blades used on folding machine devices obviously produce 12 cuts per inch but unfortunately are not classed as a true micro-perforating application. True micro-perforating starts at 17 cuts per inch and can easily reach 72 cuts per inch.
2. When in operation the teeth of the micro-perf blade produce a series of punctures to the stock surface that often results in distortion or broken particles. Evidence of this can be seen with the untidy scattering of paper dust below.
3. The whole method of applying a perf or cutting blade against the side of a cutting anvil is simply destructive to both parts and often leads to excessive wear after one or two production runs.

We all know how slow and expensive it is to outsource work. So just think how much easier your working life would be if one device could attach to your folding machine's exit shafts and produce perfect cylinder style micro-perforating and razor sharp, guillotine quality slitting, double cutting and edge-trimming.

What price would you put on being able to keep all your specialised work on your folding machine and get the finished product to your customer on time? Keeping control of your workflow with the added bonus of saving thousands every year is surely something that seems too good to be true, or does it?

The Micro-Perf & Cut Multi-Tool is the answer to all your production headaches

The Micro-Perf & Cut Multi-Tool brings together several ground breaking and patented applications in one single multi-functional device. Each facet of the device has been thought out and developed by a team of dedicated Print Finishing technicians and manufactured by world class engineers so that the operator doesn’t have to spend hours setting it up, all the work has been done.

The real proof...

Here are just some of the benefits the Micro-Perf & Cut Multi-Tool has to offer...

• Produces flat and almost invisible micro-perforations to cater for a full range of material, so good that the perfed sheets can easily run through laser printers
• Produces Razor sharp slitting, double cutting and edge-trimming that out-performs other rotary methods many times over
• Combines close proximity micro-perforating and cutting
• Eliminates outsourcing of micro-perforating
• Allows you to handle jobs you used to turn away
• Saves thousands in smashed up blankets
• Puts an end to broken perf blades
• Simple installation
• Requires no special operator skills

Precision Micro-Perforating

Broken teeth on your perforation wheels will become a bad memory as the Multi-Tool incorporates a double bevel blade that is simply made to last. The reason for this is because the tip of the blade penetrates the sheet and only a micro-millimetre into the surface of a nylon anvil below, avoiding the destructive metal versus metal set-up that is common with standard devices.

Fine, flat and almost invisible micro-perforations can be easily applied into a cross range of stocks using the 17, 25 or 52 teeth per inch (TPI) blades that are included as standard, other blade profiles such as 72 TPI blades are available as optional extras.

Slitting with Strength

The problem of blunt cutting blades is eliminated as our system uses strong grade steel that lasts many times longer than the throw away slitters you may be used to. The specially profiled radius formed on the tip of the blade means that it self sharpens when working in unison with the angled cutting anvil during production, maintaining razor sharp cutting throughout millions of folded products.

Other applications....

• Double Micro-Perforating in close proximity (from as little as 3mm apart)
• Double Cutting in close proximity (Gulley Cutting)
• Precision Edge-Trimming
• Combination of close proximity Micro-Perforating and Slitting (from as little as 5mm apart)

Engineering is a Key Factor

A key factor to the success of the Micro-Perf & Cut Multi-Tool is that each part is engineered to almost zero micro tolerances so that accuracy of each application is maximised. All the working out has been done so that all you have to do is choose your setting for the device and apply it to your folding machine, it really is that simple. No more drawn out setting required so you get instant results every time, keeping work away from the dreaded flatbed cylinder and also reduces unnecessary guillotining.

Here are some of the features that make the Micro-Perf & Cut Multi-Tool unique...

• Includes specially designed and durable cutting anvils that combat excessive wear
• Incorporates super grip bands for accurate edge-trimming
• Produces fine, flat and almost invisible micro-perforations using 17, 25 or 52 teeth per inch blades - covering stock ranges 65-350gsm
• The versatile male blade holder accommodates any perf/cut applications as little as 5mm apart
• Has an adaptable set of spacer rings that set distances from blade to blade
• Includes specially designed nylon perfing sleeve that aids precision kiss-cutting tolerances
• Includes a clever and unique anti-clogging waste stripper
