The programmable all-round model with 15” color-display for all standard cutting work with graphical programming automation for an extensive automated workflow.
Customer benefits
- Extended operating life of the knife as well as faster knife change thanks to POLAR OptiKnife with knife fine adjustment in the lower dead end
- High productivity by a great number of programmable additional functions
- Shortest make ready times thanks to intuitive cutting program generation via block programming or even Compucut
- Greatest cutting accuracy due to the POLAR-Positioning-System DPS with a mechanical positioning accuracy of 1/100 mm
- Highly reliable in daily use and long lifespan as a result of the stability of the one-piece machine frame, knife drive with worm gear drive and compact closed hydraulic system
