P610 Programmable Core Cutter
Programmable core cutter for larger cores.
The P610 is designed specifically for the users of larger diameter and/or long length parent cores. It has the flexibility to handle:
- core diameters to 24 inches
- lengths to 30 feet, and
- core wall thickness to 1 inch
A programmable PLC control provides exceptional flexibility in optimizing core material and minimizing cut waste. As the operator enters lengths, the screen displays the amount of core remaining. These cut sets can be stored, retrieved, and edited for future use.
When initiated, the P610 core chuck automatically grips the new parent core and retracts until the end of the core is sensed. Parent cores are automatically advanced and cut to exacting lengths. Cut cores are discharged to the core handling system of your choosing. Parent core loading systems can also be added for a more complete, automated core cutting operation.
Like all Appleton core cutters, the P610 is engineered with proven features that ensure cut quality, ease of operation, and operator safety:
- Touch-Screen Control – The operator interface features an Allen-Bradley PanelView touch-screen display with easy-to-use menus and operator prompts.
- Easy Size Change – The P610 is easily adjusted to a different core I.D. with a simple change-out of the chuck jaws and cutting pads. Change-outs to new core diameters take as little as 5 minutes.
- Automated Core Advancement – The P610 automatically advances and cuts cores according to user programming. Parent cores can vary from 6-feet to 30-feet long.
- Precise, Polished Cuts – The air-assisted, fixed knife of the P610 makes clean, burnished cuts to within +/-0.020-0.030 inch of the targeted length while generating virtually no dust or noise.
- Rugged Construction – The P610 may be the most affordable large core programmable core cutter on the market, yet it maintains Appleton’s high standards for robust construction and durability. Constructed entirely in the U.S.A., the P610 programmable core cutter is built to last a lifetime. (See Specifications below for more details).
- Installation and Training – Professional installation and training services are readily available from skilled technicians with years of core cutter experience.
- Superior Support – The P610 also comes with an outstanding promise of support. If you should need technical assistance, service or replacement parts, Appleton will be there for you. Appleton still provides parts and service for core cutters built over 50 years ago – you can be assured our tradition of superior support will bring long-term value to your Appleton core cutter investment.
