Aerocut X Staff Review
Automated finishing systems are becoming a popular solution for digital printers in today’s competitive printing industry. You may feel a bit intimidated by the size and price tag, but the Aerocut X speaks for itself when added to your finishing process. The Aerocut X finishing options combine the work of three manual machines for users that need to perforate, crease, cut, or slit in a single pass.
The Best Things About the Aerocut X
The Aerocut X is designed to make your life easier from start to finish. With Intellicut from Lytrod, your jobs will be printed with a barcode that will be scanned as it goes into the machine. The settings change automatically between jobs when the barcode is scanned so you don‘t need to hang around and watch it. Plus, if there is a mismatch, the machine stops, ejects the document, and alerts you before continuing. You’ll not only save time but reduce costs due to reprinting or errors.
Setup is straightforward enough for anyone to use with little training. Load your documents, select your job specifications on the 7” touch screen and come back to neatly stacked, precisely done documents. The Aerocut X can easily handle up to 24 sheets a minute with little risk of jamming because of the patented tri-suction feeding. Your documents will consistently feed through without double-feeding and jams.
You never have to worry about sharpening the blades of your Aerocut X. It features a dedicated cutting unit and the blades self-sharpen so your fingers are safe. To make sure you’re getting precise cuts and perforations, the cutting area features six rotary slitting blades along with two double and two single slitters. Maintenace on the Aerocut X is also super simple. The paper creaser, perforators, rollers, and slitters are all easily removeable so you can clean them and load them back up.
Things You Should Consider Before Buying the Aerocut X
The Aerocut X is a large and sturdy automated finishing system and needs a good bit of space to get the job done. If you‘re a small school, business, or printshop, you may not have the space to dedicate to the Aerocut X. However, if you are a larger print shop that needs higher output speeds, consider upgrading to the “big brother”, Aerocut X Pro. The Aerocut X Pro can handle up to 34 sheets a minute, sports an upgraded 10” touchscreen, multi-directional perforations, ionizer to reduce static, and
The Bottom Line — Is the Aerocut X a Good Buy?
The Aerocut X is a great option for large print shops that need to utilize multiple automated finishing options such as a slitter, cutter, paper perforator, and creaser. You’re able to finish large jobs and switch between jobs seamlessly. Creasing cardstock, perforating tickets for events, folding tent cards, and trimming business cards can be done in minutes. With the Aerocut X, it feels like you’ve added another person to streamline your process.
