Multi roll sheeter ES 1600

for the printing industryfor paper

Overview
The Crest Roll Sheet Cutter (RSC) converts flexible master rolls into accurately cut sheets or narrower rolls for sign, display and converting applications. Supports working widths of 1600 mm and 3200 mm. The machine processes paper, foil, vinyl, technical textiles, PVC, polycarbonates, carpet and thin foams. Automated web tension control with a mechanical dancer roller ensures wrinkle-free, tension-stable processing. PLC-controlled workflow with a rotatable color touchscreen. Modular design allows cold crush-slitting and optional pneumatically controlled heated knives.

Key functions

• Combined roll-to-sheet slitting and high-speed shear cross-cutting in a single pass.
• Heavy-duty cold crush-slitting knives for longitudinal slitting.
• High-speed shear cross-cutter for programmable-length sheets; optical mark registration for printed media.
• Optional pneumatically controlled heated knives for edge sealing/cauterizing textiles.

Typical applications

• Convert industrial master rolls into perfectly square, ready-to-ship sheets at programmable lengths.
• Cut-to-mark operations for signage and wide-format print using advanced optical registration sensors.
• Full-width high-speed cross-cutting without slitting for fast roll-to-sheet separation (4-second cycle possible).

Modular configuration & efficiency
Built on a heavy-duty industrial chassis for high uptime. Modular engineering supports rapid changeovers between cold and heated cutting options, dual/twin rewinding shafts and configurable waste extraction. Automated dancer roller eliminates web drag for consistent tracking and quality at transport speeds up to 15 m/min.

Best suited for

• High-volume sign, graphics and display converters.
• Print finishing operations requiring precise automated workflows and cut-to-mark accuracy.
• Wide-format and super-wide roll-to-sheet converting up to 3200 mm.
• Multi-lane slitting, edge trimming and simultaneous cross-cutting.
• Technical textiles and fabrics requiring optional heated edge sealing to prevent fraying.

Why it cuts smart and accurate

• Integrated slitting and shear cross-cut architecture for programmable, repeatable sheet lengths with micro-adjustable skew alignment (+/-5 mm) for squareness.
• Advanced optical sensor engine scans for printed registration marks and dynamically adjusts cross-cuts to trim waste matrix between images.
• Automated web tension control with mechanical dancer roller maintains tension-free, wrinkle-free handling; PLC control with rotatable touchscreen provides operator clarity.

When to choose the Roll Sheet Cutter

• To convert complex roll materials into finished, square sheets or narrower rolls across many substrates.
• When you need combined longitudinal slitting and transverse cross-cutting in one pass.
• When tension-free handling is required for sensitive or elastic substrates.
• When cutting must align precisely to printed registration marks.
• When working with standard or super-wide formats up to 3200 mm and modular rewinding configurations.
• When optional heated cutting/edge sealing is required for textiles.
