X3 Narrow Width Compact Slitter

X3 Narrow width compact slitter

The Universal X3 is a compact slitter with a narrow width, offering capabilities comparable to larger slitter rewinders. Its small footprint, accurate tension control, and high-speed capability make it ideal for narrow-width slitting applications, especially for customers with limited floor space. The X3 features edge line guiding, optional lay-on arms, and differential shafts, with a design that ensures easy and safe access to the cutting section for quick job setups. Its short web path minimizes waste, making it particularly suitable for slitting high-value materials.

The X3 has edge line guiding and can be fitted with lay-on arms and differential shafts as specified. The small footprint and cantilevered shafts make the X3 a popular machine with customers with limited floorspace but require a high-performance slitter rewinder. The cutting section is easily (but safely) accessible making job setups safe and easy for operators.

The short web path makes this machine ideal for slitting high-value materials where wastage needs to be kept to a minimum.
