Rotary blade cutting system Blue Jay

textilefor fiberglassmanually-controlled

The Blue Jay is available as a stand-alone end cutting unit or with an optional Pull-Off for even faster cutting production and improved accuracy. The system requires only one operator to spread and cut material with the simple press of a button. The Pull-Off, a moveable pneumatic clamp, grabs the ply to be spread and pulls it down the table to the desired length. The cutting attachment, a powerful 5 inch (12.7cm) round knife, automatically drives across the width of the fabric in a guided track for repeated, perfectly straight-line cutting. For added panel cutting features, Eastman's 548BK round knife slitters, can be added to the Blue Jay End Cutting System for cutting in both horizontal and vertical directions. A more robust Heavy-Duty Blue Jay is available for tougher materials, such as fiberglass. • Various system footprints for savings in floor space • Adjustable grip pressure • One-touch joystick control • LCD display with keypad for simple operation & system status messaging • Programmable lift time • Sharpener preset • Adjustable ply counter • Flaw cut key • Watchdog time forces control box to reset in the event of software failure • Heavy-Duty Blue Jay with more robust design and heavy-duty base to support cutting tougher materials, such as fiberglass End Cutter (CRA-395) • Digital controls include ply counter, return carriage, auto and manual lift, sharpener mode • Clamp pressure setting • Clamping bar • Remote control option Pull Off (CRA-375) • Machine can reach a maximum speed of up to 100 yards/minute (91m/minute) • Accuracy of +/- .25 in.
