C717 Foam Horizontal Slicer Holds 0.6-3 mm Sheets Within ±0.05 mm Tolerance

The C717 is a long size foam horizontal slicer for thin sheet production. Cutting thickness is 0.6-70 mm, cutting precision is ±0.05 mm, cutting width is 1200-2300 mm, cutting height is 1300 mm, cutting speed is 0-120 m/min and the cutting length is 50 m. The machine is CE certified.

Thin sheets are where a slicer is judged. At 0.6-3 mm the tolerance is a large share of the sheet thickness, so a small error in blade tension or table level becomes a visible thickness variation in the finished mattress or furniture layer. The C717 holds ±0.05 mm across a 1300 mm block.

• Model: C717

• Cutting height: 1300 mm
• Cutting length: 50 m

1. Set the thickness. Set the blade height for the sheet thickness required.
2. Level the table. Confirm the feed table is level to the blade across the full width.
3. Check the blade. Confirm tension and sharpness before the first block.
4. Start the feed. Run the block into the blade at a speed suited to the thickness.
5. Watch the sheet. Check the first sheet for thickness and surface quality.
6. Run the batch. Keep the setting and re-check every few blocks.

On thin sheets, check the first sheet of every block, not only the first block of the shift. Thickness drift is small enough to pass a visual check and still be outside the customer tolerance.

Thin sheet tolerance is a mechanical result, not a setting on a screen. The blade has to run at the correct tension, the guide has to hold it in the cut, and the feed table has to be level across the full 2300 mm width. Any one of those three being out shows up as thickness variation.

The 1300 mm cutting height matters for the same reason. A block that has to be re-stacked halfway doubles the number of set-ups and adds a second chance for a thickness step. Slicing a full-height block in one pass keeps the layers consistent from the bottom to the top.

Speed control is the operator's tool for thin work. At 0.6-3 mm the feed rate is slowed to keep the blade cutting rather than pushing, and the same machine runs faster on 20-70 mm work. One machine covers both ends of the range.

• Blade condition: tension and sharpness set the surface quality.
• Table level: level across the width is what holds the tolerance.
• Full-height cut: one set-up per block, no re-stacking step.

• Thin sheet capability: 0.6 mm minimum thickness on a production machine.
• Tight tolerance: ±0.05 mm keeps layers consistent across the block.
• Wide block range: 1200-2300 mm cutting width covers common block sizes.
• Full height: 1300 mm cutting height slices a whole block without re-stacking.
• Speed control: 0-120 m/min lets the operator match feed to thickness.
• Long cutting length: 50 m of continuous cut before the run ends.
• CE certified: export-ready guarding and electrics.

• Mattress layers: thin PU sheets for comfort layers and quilt backing.
• Furniture foam: thin sheets for cushions and upholstery builds.
• Packaging foam: thin protective layers cut to width.
• Laminated foam: thin sheets for foam-to-fabric lamination.
• Automotive trim: thin foam layers for interior padding.
• Contract slicing: mixed thickness runs on one machine.

Slicer faults show up first as surface quality, then as thickness drift. Check blade tension, blade sharpness and table level before adjusting anything else, because those three cause most of the scrap on a horizontal slicer.

Keep hands clear of the blade entry while the feed is running. Thin sheets are handled close to the blade because the sheet lifts as it leaves the cut.

Stop the feed before clearing a sheet that has jammed. Reaching into a running cut is the most common serious injury on a horizontal slicer.

• Check blade tension and sharpness at the start of the shift.
• Confirm table level after any change of block size.
• Set the feed speed for the thickness being cut.
• Measure the first sheet of each block.
• Stop the feed before clearing a jam.

The blade is the wear part and the tolerance depends on it. Check tension daily and replace the blade as soon as the surface starts to tear, because a dull blade also loads the motor and the guides.

The guides and the table level need a weekly check. A guide that has worn lets the blade wander, and a table that has moved produces a thickness step that looks like a blade fault.

• Check blade tension and condition daily.
• Inspect blade guides for wear weekly.
• Check table level across the full cutting width weekly.
• Lubricate the feed and guide rails on schedule.
• Check motor current against the commissioning record monthly.

The machine is shipped in a reinforced export crate with the cutting frame and feed table braced for transport.

The shipment includes the blade specification, the alignment checklist and a commissioning guide, with remote support during installation.
