  • Small and mid-size commercial printers Handles standard quarto (and smaller) sheets, label stock, and PVC sheets with precise trimming and corner squaring.
  • In-plant corporate print centers Compact footprint for high-frequency, short-run office and marketing material cutting.
45.3" / 115cm

Recommended applications

  • Mid-market commercial print plants The workhorse width for mainstream full-sheet half-sheet cutting and downstream finishing.
  • Book binding & publishing finishing High-volume hardcover cases, textbook interiors, wall calendars, and folded-sheet precision cutting.
  • Light packaging converters Cardboard cartons, rigid gift boxes — face papers and liners for prototyping and short-to-medium runs.
53.9" / 137cm

Recommended applications

  • Large conventional offset lines Matched to full-sheet / half-sheet Heidelberg, KBA, and similar presses for fast stack cutting and finished-size trimming.
  • Packaging print specialists Heavy caliper SBS, greyboard, and metallized board for rigid packaging — reliable on dense, stiff stocks.
  • Posters & display graphics Large-format posters, retail paper displays, and POP substrate squaring and blanking.
66.1" / 168cm

Recommended applications

  • Very large format (VLF) finishing Built for extra-large press formats (e.g. 145cm / 162cm web offset) with heavy-duty cutting capacity.
  • Folding carton hubs Fast mother-sheet splitting for large food cartons, appliance packaging, and heavy gift boxes.
  • Paper merchants & converting centers Batch resizing of wide parent sheets into standard market formats.
74.0" / 188cm

Recommended applications

  • Mill & large converting centers Upstream integration — splitting ultra-wide parent reels into industrial sheet lots at the source.
  • Oversize industrial & display materials Extra-wide outdoor graphics, PVC boards, composite insulation, and specialty filter media.
  • Automated cutting cells Often the core cutter in fully automated lines with loaders, unloaders, and unmanned workflow.
Sizing tip (diagonal rule)

When selecting cutter width, consider not only the sheet long edge but also the diagonal length when the stack is rotated 90° on the table. For example, frequent 90° rotation of 102cm full sheets typically calls for at least a 137cm (53.9") machine to preserve squaring and jog clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard lead time for the S16?
Standard lead time is typically 30-45 days, depending on your specific power requirements, optional configurations, and current production schedule.
What are the electrical power requirements?
Due to the heavy-duty main motor (3.0 - 8.5 KW depending on cutting width), 3-phase power is required. We can customize the machine for 220V, 380V, or 415V to perfectly match your local electrical grid.
How is the S16 different from the S19 / S22?
The S16 is our entry-level professional model, focusing on essential automation, 0.01mm precision, and CE-ready safety. The S19 adds high-speed operation (32m/min) and network connectivity, while the S22 is our fully intelligent flagship with direct PDF/JDF parsing and 3D animated guidance.
Do you provide overseas technical support?
Yes! We provide comprehensive online support, highly detailed video tutorials, and English manuals. We also have an extensive network of international service partners who can provide on-site installation and maintenance if required.
Can I upgrade to a CE-certified version?
Absolutely. For the European market, we offer CE-compliant models equipped with premium protective guarding, safety relays, and branded components like WESSEL valves and Panasonic PLCs to meet the strictest safety regulations.
