Operation:

Paper tube is fed onto the cutting mandrel from right to left of the operator's station. The tube is then fed toward the cutting wheel by a pre-selected digital motor control that feeds the tube to the desired lengths.
The downward motion of the knife handle automatically starts the tube rotating while being cut and stops the rotation when the arm is raised. When in the raised position, a signal is sent telling the automatic feed to advance the tube to the next pre-selected cut.
The previous cut tube will be pushed off the cutting mandrel as the next tube advances. If a longer tube length is required, a roller bed table is used for either a manual removal or, if desired, drop onto a parallel catch tray stand.
