Model:  A400 

-Serial Number:  051211B is a 3" Unit with 3" Tooling and will come with 
  a used 6" gripper but no 6" Sleeve to make it 3" and 6" capable with the 
  addition of a 6" sleeve.

-Master Core Length:  96" Max.

-Capable of 1.5", 3" & 6" Cores Dia.

-High Speed Single Knife Cutting.  The A400 is Appletons fastest single 
  knife re-cutter, running up to 2 times faster than the A-301.

-This unit serves to rapidly cut batches of fiber cores of a given length 
  with minimum operator labor and to cut heat sensitive and/or thick 
  wall plastic tubes & tapes.

The A400 provides you with:

-Faster cutting - the result of an improved hydraulic system coupled with 
  our fixed knife.

-Clean, polished, cuts - The Appleton fixed knife slices rather than saws 
  or scores for a cleaner, faster cut.

-Precise Control - new valving results in a wider range of operator adjustment 
  offeed and cutting rates for optimal performance.

-Plastic Cutting - with proper cutting tools the A400 can cut a variety of 
  plastics.

-Expandability - The A400 is PLC equipped, making it ready for automation 
  options like the auto-indexing knife or automated parent and cut core 
  handling systems - freeing your operators for other tasks.

-Quick Diameter Changes - Five minutes for a mandrel change, or less than 
  one minute with our patented Instant Diameter Change (IDC) mandrel system.

-Energy Savings - The A400 has a timer that shuts down the cutter if it has 
  not been used for an operator settable interval.  This saves wear and tear 
  on the cutter.

-Improved Safety - The cutter is running only when it is in service, the 
  knife is well guarded.

-Service Prompt - The A400 prompts the operator when it is time to service 
  the hydraulic filter.
