The Pinch Roller Traveling Head Press is the cheapest first step into the automated cutting of a rolled material. The pinch rollers mounted on the back of the machine pull material from the roll stand and feeds it through the throat of the machine. The pinch rollers typically work in conjunction with a waste rewinder placed in the front of the machine which keeps constant tension on the material as it is coming through to keep the material properly aligned and free from bunching and folding. This style of machine typically works best with thicker and more rigid substrates. 

This press can be used for advanced nesting of patterns using a parameter-based PLC technology with job saving capabilities. Our Traveling Head Presses can accept roll materials up to 72″ wide, but can be custom ordered to accept larger rolls if necessary. The cutting heads are 25.5 x 25.5″ on our stock models, however we have also built custom head sizes up to 40″ x 40″. Tonnages are available between 25 & 50 tons. Higher tonnages can be achieved with some more major custom alterations to the system.  

The machine is equipped with safety light curtains to cover all necessary pinch point areas, and comes with a variety of upgrades including variable degree rotating heads, magnetic platens, and heated platens. The Traveling Head Press comes with four different levels of automation including manual, sheet feed, pinch roller feed, and conveyor feed styles.
