The programmable HC-680i Hydraulic Cutter effortlessly cuts through large stacks of paper up to 26.8” wide. Trim high volume jobs faster and with accurate performance. Finish stacks of postcards, direct mail, and perfect bound books up to 4.0” in height. With its cast iron construction and intelligent software, the HC- 680i offers a safe and productive solution for your paper cutting needs.
Set it and rotate it
The HC-680i makes paper cutting a quick and easy
task. Program the cuts and sequence for each job
using the 10.4” touchscreen control panel and intuitive
software. Store up to 999 jobs in memory with up
to 128 cuts each to recall when needed. Or program
your job offline and save it in .csv format to upload
via USB. As each cut is performed, the backgauge
automatically adjusts for the next cut and the control
panel prompts the cut rotation to eliminate errors and
increase efficiency. Simply rotate the job and discard
the scraps. You can also set each cut and position the
backgauge using the fine-tuning knob as you go.
The HC-680i is barcode-ready to instantly retrieve any pre-programmed job simply by scanning the printed barcode. Ideal for running multiple jobs in faster turnarounds, the barcode reader saves time by setting up the machine with all commands in place.
High pile cutting
Once the job has been programmed, place the pile
on the table and slide it against the backgauge. The
LED light illuminates the cutting line allowing you to
see exactly where the cut will be applied. The foot
pedal controls the low-pressure clamp, which keeps
the job firmly in place to prevent it from fanning and
removes any excess air between the sheets. Press the
dual palm buttons to release the blade and observe
as each cut is performed with accuracy.
With a touch of a button, the push-out function automatically pushes the paper stack forward as needed. The HC-680i is built to last and features adjustable clamp pressure, enclosed rear table, and an aluminum alloy work table with a low friction surface.
Operator safety
When it comes to guillotine cutting, your protection
is top priority and the HC-680i meets safety standards
with ETL approval. Sensors on both ends of the table
guard hands and ensure the cutting area remains clear
during operation. The dual palm buttons activate the
sensors and beam a Category 4 safety light curtain
that disables the clamp and the blade when an object
comes too close.
For an added level of safety, the cutter hydraulic leak protection prevents the knife from being released in the case of an oil leakage.
