Machine Retrofit kits for other machine types

Choice of ProCut kits for the machine's existing motor, DC or brushless servo motors

Basic Inverter backgauge retrofit kit

The basic system uses the machine's original motor which is controlled by a flux vector inverter. Inverters provide a lower accuracy and performance than servo motors, but at a lower cost. The kit contains a controller, inverter, cables, break out boards, an encoder, Start/Stop buttons, proximity switches and mounting brackets.

DC servo ProCut Kit

The DC servo, offers a replacement for the machines existing AC motor and control replacing them with a precision servo. Servos offer high accuracy and good performance. The kit contains a controller, electrical box, DC servo motor, motor mounting bracket, cables, Start/Stop buttons, proximity switches, belts\pulleys and mounting brackets.

ProCut DC Servo Kit: The ProCut DC servo kit includes almost every thing needed to install a ProCut back gauge system on a guillotine, new or old. The controller can be installed in the front of the machine or there is an optional "Pod" that makes mounting the controller simple and easy for the operator with an adjustable mounting arm. The DC servo motors offer very high accuracy and good performance.

Brushless servo ProCut Kit

The Brushless servo, offers a replacement for the machines existing AC motor and control replacing them with a precision AC servo. Brushless Servos offer high accuracy and good performance. The kit contains a controller, electrical box, servo motor, motor mounting bracket, cables, Start/Stop buttons, proximity switches, belts\pulleys and mounting brackets.

Brushless Servo ProCut Kit: The Brushless servo ProCut kit includes almost every thing needed to install a ProCut back gauge system on a guillotine, new or old. The controller can be installed in the front of the machine or there is an optional "Pod" that makes mounting the controller simple and easy for the operator with an adjustable mounting arm. The Brushless servo motors offer very high accuracy and very high performance, making the machine fast and accurate. There are a range of motors from 800 Watts to 2.5 Kw.

Guillotine Control Systems for the printing and sheet metal industries (ProCut)

The PROCUT System is a high precision Guillotine Backgauge Positioning System that can be installed in most industrial paper or metal cutting guillotines. Using our own control systems with their years of proven history for accuracy and repeatability. ProCut can be supplied either as a complete system or as parts as needed

Choice of PMC4 motion controllers with 5.7" or 10.4" screen

PMC4 controller with 5.7" screen

The PMC4 is a motion controller with a full PLC. This controller is capable of very high accuracy and when running the ProCut software brings new life to old guillotines and for new machines cost savings, safety, and reliability. Operator comfort is assured because of the clear screen and easy to use compact keypad. The compact size of the PMC4 makes it easy to mount the controller either in or out of the machine front.

PMC4 controller with 10.4" screen

Larger machines need a larger screen and the 10.4" screen is clearly readable even on a large machine. The PMC4 large screen controller has a full QUERTY keypad and built in hand wheel jog encoder to facilitate small cut corrections. This controller is designed to be easy to mount in the front of the machine, the thickness of the controller is around 50mm.

Cables, Sensors, Brackets, Motors

Controller Cables, Sensors and Wiring

ProCut kits come complete with cables, wiring, sensors and sensor mounting brackets. Cables can be ordered in special lengths to suit larger machines or for OEMs

Mechanical components, Pulleys, mounting brackets etc

Part of a complete service is the provision of a fit and forget service. ProCut is supplied with Motor Mounts, belts and pulleys which can be supplied ready machines to suit the client application.

Servo Motors

ProCut is available with a range of servo motor options, there many options including using an existing DC motors, DC servo or Brushless servo

Guillotine backgauge software for the printing and sheet metal industries (ProCut)

The PROCUT System is designed to be easy and safe to use, it has two languages English and Spanish, it is easy to enter and save data

New ProCut inverter kit with Control Techniques Unidrive M400 inverter

PROCUT is now available with Control Techniques servo motors and inverters. The kit shown above is an M400 inverter based kit, this is one of our most cost effective system. Inverter systems use your existing back gauge motor, the M400 drive provides good quality control from an existing motor.

Low cost Digital Readout (DRO) for Guillotines

A Digital Readout for smaller Guillotines. Uses either linear or rotary encoders to aid the operator is making precision cuts. Upgradeable to a single axis go to controller, to add some level of automation to the smaller Guillotine. Supplied as a stand alone unit or as a kit with Controller, power supply, home sensor and choice of encoder

Creaser machine controller upgrade kits for the printing industry

Creaser controller replacement

CMC Italy and various other manufactures make nice machines for creasing and folding paper, the controller on some versions of these machines is now obsolete and shown above, but the machine is still good. TRM offerers a complete controller solution to replace the controller shown above.

Custom Creaser screen showing easy data entry

The above shows the screen for the replacement controller, this is easy to use and shows the 24 crease positions that can be entered by the operator. Data entered by the operator is checked on entry making the machine safer and easy to use.

GoTo controller for Guillotines, Press Brakes etc.

A GoTo controller with a Digital Readout for small Guillotines, Chop saws, Press brakes etc. This product offers a simple interface that allows the user to enter a single measurement and then press the ENTER key to move to the back gauge to be position entered by the operator. Many machines use manual backgauge positioning and this controller is designed to automate that process, the operator is required to excercise the same care as they would with the manual system, it replaces. The controller requires a home switch and has a hold down input to prevent the back gauge from moving while the holddown is active.

Guillotine controllers and Guillotine back gauge controllers from TRM

TRM has been designing and manufacturing industrial controllers for more than 22 years. We provide a range of solutions for controlling Guillotines of all styles and types. Because our controllers were designed to work on high end precision machines such as CNC, they have the flexibility and performance that surpasses most other guillotine controllers on the market. The range of controllers and complete kits are suitable for retrofit and new machines.
