ECT Sample Saw

The ECT sample saw is different to the regular system “Billerud” because it cuts using circular saw blades rather than a parallel blade movement. This allows a precise cut. The compact and robust stainless-steel case contains all the components necessary for the process which consist of sample slide with sample feed and integrated circular saws below, the control unit with integrated motor and controls. The sample slide travels backwards and forwards pneumatically and the cut samples are ejected by compressed air. To prevent dust there is a suction cleaner connection on the back of the unit to which the optional suction cleaner can be attached.

Test Description

Corrugated board, cut to 100 mm in width, is inserted into the sample feed and automatically held in place by the binder. Motor and suction cleaner are started by simply touching a button. Then the start button is pressed to start the cutting process. The sample slide travels slowly backwards over the circular saw blades and the sample is parallel cut to exactly 25 mm. This is then ejected via compressed air and the sample slide returns to the start position. The corrugated board can then be fed further in and more samples can be cut. On completion of the cutting operation, motor and suction cleaner are switched off simply by touching a button.
