High-capacity and ultra-reliable feeding

The ColorCut SC7100 Pro-T model has been designed to provide unattended operation with particular attention paid to the feeding system to ensure class-leading performance for card, vinyl labels or even tricky laminated sheets. The auto feeder accepts up to 1,000 sheets, which automatically raises and lowers as required.

To prevent sheets curling (as a result of a constant air flow to the sides), the machines use an automatic air blade that fires a blast of air momentarily into the front of the stack just as the advanced vacuum feed belt lowers to collect the top sheet. To further provide a reliable feed, the vacuum feed belt lifts the media carrying any sheets not pre-separated by the air blade past a pair of dexterous separation fingers which dislodges them. Finally, before advancing the sheet into the cutting engine, the vacuum feed belt ‘jogs’ briefly against the rear paper stop, creating a natural curve that helps ensure even difficult media feeds faultlessly.

Dual tool power – digital accuracy

The digital dual tool head includes passive contour/drag cut, with active tangential creasing wheels and applies force, individually,
for both the cutting and creasing tools.

This combination of tools provides a much wider media handling capability and more defined, smoother crease for thick card up to 450 micron. The individual tool actions are controlled via the included ColorCut Pro 5 Production Studio software. In common with the entire ColorCut family, the tools can be set to apply exact amounts of pressure and speed, along with total control over the application of cut, crease, perforation or kiss-cut of vector artwork lines drawn in Adobe® Illustrator® or CorelDRAW®.

Tangential technology enables the SC7100 Pro-T models to lift the tool up from the media, rotate it and lower it back onto the media. Suitable for creasing wheels to enable more defined, smoother precise creases – particularly good for thicker media.

Ergonomic, compact and mobile

The new 7” immersive touch screen with extensive Info-Control system includes a live camera preview window delivering visual feedback of QR code and smart registration marks scanning.

Plus, feature rich options that provide an advanced level of control over the auto-feeder’s functionality. Useful for certain media that may require special handling or simply to optimise throughput of your chosen media. The 7 inch immersive touch screen control panel can pivot to suit the angle desired by the operator.

A space-saving media catch tray slides away when not in use and the maneuverable stand ensures it is easily accommodated into any working environment.
