Description

The new Challenge CMT 330 has expanded capability to finish cut LANDSCAPE FORMATTED BOOKS up to 12.1” (307 mm) tall by 12.9” (328 mm) wide and down to 5.875” (149 mm) tall by 3.937” (100 mm) wide.  Designed and built in Michigan-USA, the CMT 330 utilizes powerful hydraulic cutting and clamping pressure to effortlessly cut up to a 2” (50.8 mm) thick book.

The CMT 330 utilizes servo and stepper motors to accurately position books for cutting.  Full digital control of the set-up allows book size changes in less than 6 seconds.  There is no need to perform manual adjustments or exchange book clamps.  The CMT 330 exclusively features simultaneous in-line and near-line feeding capability.  This allows the trimmer to automatically switch between feeding books directly from an in-line perfect binder or from a manually loaded near-line book pile feeder.  If one system is waiting for the next book, the other system can feed the trimmer to provide maximum production throughput.
