Cutoff Controls
WPC Cutoff Controls automatically control print-to-process register. Applications include: print-to-cut, print-to-perforate, print-to-glue, print-to-fold, print-to-die-cut, and others. The system is proven to reduce associated cutoff waste.How it Works
The color scanner reads any process color mark and sends a pulse mark signal to the system controller. The encoder, fixed to the press, keeps mechanical time in direct ratio with the printed target and sends this data to the system controller. The system controller analyzes registration and signals the correction motor to advance or retard the web. A mark is required to have the system do an automatic make ready but the system is also able to use the image as a mark.

System Controller
The compact touch pad controller offers quick setup. A continuous digital display shows register deviation. Modular electronics for easy installation and service. Field programmable press constants include: impression length, gate size, dead zone, and correction response. Optional software for applications such as Mark-to-Mark Registration allows system to be customized to your specific needs.
