Texband Cutter RTC-208-TEX-85

Fully equipped automatic cutting machine with driven film spool and dancer control for cutting Texbands for horizontal slat blinds. With the RCM marking system, a fold mark can be applied to the ends of the Texband. This model comes standard with a stacker that clamps up to 25 Texbands for easy removal.

Application

This fully equipped Texband Cutter was developed to cut Texbands for horizontal slats or venetian blinds to a constant uniform length and to mark both ends with a fold embossing for the subsequent sewing process. Processing of lifttapes from other manufacturers on request. The standard equipment features make the machine ideally suited for high production capacity.

Texbands with a width of 6, 8 and 10 mm can be processed as standard. The fold mark can be set between 15 and 30 mm from the end or beginning of the Texband.

The lifttape is transported by two synchronously driven, carbide-coated transport rollers (top and bottom), identical to the double drive with a strong stepper motor.

The film spool is rotated by a motor when the Texband is pulled off. A dancer control, running on a linear guide, enables a very precise, even and jerk-free band take-off, even with a fast band advance. Tape feed speeds of up to 30 metres per minute can be processed.

During transport, the Texband is checked for thickness differences in the band by means of a tape defect control system, so that no Texbands with a seam connection can enter further processing. As soon as this thickened area is detected, the cutting machine stops production.

A stacker is fitted as standard to prevent the cut Texbands from falling to the floor. Up to 25 Texbands can be clamped in the stacker. 

All models have the special RCM marking system integrated, which ensures the exact position of the folding mark at the beginning and end of the Texband. This RCM marking system ensures that further processing and handling, such as sewing the bartack, is quick and easy.

This marking with a slight bend in the tape means that the length accuracy from fold to fold can be maintained very precisely, even by less experienced personnel.

Barcode-Scanner for lifttape cutter

Recurring jobs can be displayed as barcodes in an Excel file (included in the delivery). These barcodes can, for example, be printed out collectively on a sheet and placed at the machine. The barcode scanner is connected directly to the machine and thus recurring orders can be processed quickly and efficiently. The barcode scanner can be used with any lifttape cutter.
