KMT S 1553

Machine Frame and Drive System

• The machine frame is made of a very rigid, solid steel weldment
• The upper knives are reversible for use of both sides, and the lower knives feature 4 cutting edges
• A rigid, continuous hold-down fixes the sheet metal plate right in front of the cut line

Material Support

• The rigid side angle stop simplifies alignment of the plate to the cut line
• Rugged support arms ensure a strong hold of large plates
• Material support rollers are recessed in the table for easy workpiece handling

Ergonomic Design

• The mobile foot switch gives the operator added flexibility and both hands are free for handling the workpiece
• For a better view of the cut line, the hand safety guard can be flipped up or down
• The bright LED illumination of the cut line creates a clearly visible shadow on the marked line

Rear stop:

• The back gauge can be positioned precisely via a hand-wheel
• The easy accessible work area at the back gauge is secured by light curtain
• The machine can be equipped with an optional NC-controlled back gauge for a length up to 39", or a sheet hold-up device
