Rotary knife cutting table (for boatyards and shipyards)
ELEKTRON B2
AERONAUT
Multi-purpose Cutters
The Elektron B2 combines the accuracy of the Elektron chassis with quick change bayonet mount tool holders. The Elektro B2 is the machine of choice for work such as corrugated box making where reciprocating blade cutters are required and for customers with existing Aeronaut bayonet tools.
The Aeronaut Elektron B2 is a brilliantly versatile heavy-duty plotter cutter which combines the accuracy and reliabilty of the Elektron chassis with the versatility and industrial strength of Aeronaut's well proven bayonet-mount quick change tooling. Aeronaut introduced bayonet-mount quick change tools to plotter cutters in the mid-90's.
Tools can be changed in 10 seconds with complete indexing of tool centring, angle and height. The toolholders lock in as easily and quickly as the lens on a 35mm SLR camera. You can quickly fit a wide range of tools for a multitude of job specific tasks the future demands.
Use a rotary blade cutter for fast cuts and a tangential knife for details... Fit a creasing tool for setting fold lines. You can change blades in no time without fiddling about under the cutter head as you do on conventional plotter-cutters.
The large bore steered toolholders allow powered tools such as reciprocating blade cutters to be carried meaning the Elektron B2 can be used for applications where thick and difficult materials have to be cut such as corrugated cardboard, box making, composites, rubber, cork and filter materials.
The Elektron chassis is light and extremely stiff giving excellent dynamic performance even to machines over 4 metres wide. And the Aeronaut Elektron B2, like all Aeronaut machines, has been designed from the beginning for absolutely minimal maintenance and the lowest ownership costs.
Two bayonet mount steered tools for rapid and accurate tool changes.
An optional separate drill punch can be fitted in addition to the two steered tools and pen holder.
Machines can be expanded in length at any time without extensive rebuilding and re-calibration.
