Speedex Quick-Change Notcher & Mobile Work Trolley

The Speedex Quick-Change Notcher can be used to process STRAIGHT, ROTARY & CURVED cutting rule

(bevelled or serrated).

This machine is very compact, having a small footprint on the factory floor whilst having a very wide capability, As the name suggests it is specially designed to accept Quick-Change Tooling that enables all types of rule to be processed faster, more easily and more efficiently, with less skill and training required with a more fool proff method of processing different types of cutting rule.

The Speedex Quick-Change Notcher is extremely versatile. There is almost no rule cutting operation that it cannot do that is commonly employed by any die board manufacturer.

The Speedex Quick-Change Notcher machine is pneumatically operated so the machine is quiet to run, and also requires less manual labour, contributing to greater operator comfort and ease of cutting operations.

It is ergonomically designed on a 15 degree tilted back angle so that an operator can see what they are doing and also assists in holding cutting rule in place inside the tooling.

The Quick-Change Tooling fits snuggly inside the machine's body and all Quick-Change Tooling has been designed with narrow openings to prevent any danger to an operator's hands.

The Speedex Quick-Change Notcher features a universal tooling clamping system so all tooling is quickly changeable. So a simple turn of a lever will release or clamp the tooling securely in place. No need to undo any screws!

The hydraulic cylinder is operated by a foot pedal to control punching, so both the operator's hands are free to work.

The Speedex Quick-Change Notcher is light weight and can be mounted on a mobile trolley, which we also can supply, enabling the machine to be moved around the factory floor where required. Trolley has shelving to store tooling and collect waste slugs, as well as a strong base for the machine and a sturdy mobile work bench.
