High-Speed Puller/Cutter for Tubing, Profiles
NPE2024: Cuts to exact lengths up to 3,000 cut/minute.
Versa Machinery is featuring servo-powered High Speed Cutter/Puller Systems capable of feeding, measuring and then cutting extruded materials to exact lengths at up to 3,000 cuts/min. (up to 6,000 cuts/min. with a two-knife option). With exclusive Adaptive Cutting Technology software, these robust machines provide a broad range of cutting capabilities.
The systems’ software makes the necessary calculations to determine the best cutting mode for each application. An operator simply enters the line speed and cut length through an easy-to-use panel view interface and the ACT software does the rest. Complete systems include a servo-controlled cutter, a servo controlled pinch roller or caterpillar feeder, with integral cut length and batch controls. Length counter adjustable from 0.001 in. to 999.999 in. The Versa high-speed cutter/puller systems accurately cut plastic and rubber tubing, shapes and profiles to 3-in. in diameter (OD).

Material is gripped by a pair of rollers or caterpillar belts and pushed through closely spaced bushings for precision cutting by a high-speed, razor-sharp knife. The servo-controlled feeder provides precise control of the line speed. The feeder servo is electronically linked to the cutter servo to provide accurate control of cut lengths.
Three modes of operation provide the flexibility for cutting a wide variety of extruded products.
Bushings are available in sizes to match the diameter of the material being cut. One set of bored bushings or two sets of blank bushings provided with each machine.
