Details & specifications
The Perfecta BP 115 is a German-built, high-precision 45" programmable guillotine paper cutter for demanding commercial print and packaging environments. Manufactured by Perfecta, the German high-speed cutting specialist, the BP 115 pairs a gear-driven knife and servo-controlled backgauge with an 18.5" color touchscreen (TS computer) for fast, repeatable programmed cutting. It is CIP3/CIP4 compatible, so cut programs flow straight from prepress into the cutter, and the slotless stainless steel air-bed table keeps heavy 45 inch stock moving with low operator effort. For shops comparing high-speed commercial paper cutters, the BP 115 sits in the middle of the Perfecta BP series, with a 115 cm (about 45 inch) cutting width, hydraulic clamping programmable from 560 to 10,115 lbs, and up to 44 cuts per minute.
