SM1600-Q Paper Tube Re-Cutting Machine A
Overview

Long-tube cutting, calibrated for industrial cores.

The Senmei SM1600-Q is a fully automatic paper core cutting machine designed for industrial cores — long tubes with thick walls that need precise length, clean edges, and consistent cycle time. A servo-driven feed carriage delivers a fresh tube into the cutting bay, the blade indexes to the recipe-driven length, and the cut core is discharged onto the takeaway conveyor.

The platform handles Ø 30–160 mm tubes up to 1,600 mm long with wall thicknesses from 0.8 mm to 10 mm. Length accuracy stays below 0.5 mm across the full cycle, with recipe-stored parameters for textile cores, BOPP film cores, carpet cores, and fireworks tubes.

Key features

Built around uptime, not just speed.

  • Fully automatic load and unload. Servo-driven feed carriage and takeaway conveyor; one operator can run two SM1600-Q lines.
  • Sub-0.5 mm length accuracy. Recipe-driven indexing, validated across 200+ installations in textile, film, and fireworks lines.
  • Long-tube capability. Cuts tubes up to 1,600 mm in a single pass — no manual handling for industrial core lengths.
  • Wall thickness range. Handles 0.8 mm to 10 mm walls on the same machine; recipe auto-loads blade type and feed rate.
  • Quick-change blade. Blade swap in under 10 minutes; recipe auto-loads blade type, depth, and feed rate.
  • Touchscreen HMI. 10-inch industrial panel with multi-language UI, recipe library, and on-screen troubleshooting.
  • Safety-integrated guarding. Category 3 PL d safety circuit, CE-marked.

Working principle

How the SM1600-Q runs.

Tubes are loaded into the hopper manually or by an upstream spiral winder. A servo-driven feed carriage picks up the longest tube, indexes it to the cutting bay, and holds it under clamp pressure. The blade descends at recipe-controlled speed and depth, then retracts; the cut core is released onto the takeaway conveyor and the carriage indexes to the next length.

Recipe parameters — blade type, blade depth, feed rate, clamp pressure — are stored per tube diameter, wall thickness, and length. The HMI surfaces live production count, reject count, blade life remaining, and current recipe. Blade wear is logged automatically and a service alert fires when it's time to swap.

Applications

Where the SM1600-Q fits.

  • Textile cores. Ø 76 mm × 170–230 mm yarn cores for cotton, polyester, and filament winding.
  • Film cores. Ø 3-inch and 6-inch BOPP, BOPET, and CPP film cores up to 1,200 mm long.
  • Carpet cores. Ø 100–160 mm × 1,400 mm cores for tufted and woven carpet rolls.
  • Fireworks tubes. Ø 50–100 mm kraft tubes for consumer fireworks, up to 600 mm long.
  • Tape and label cores. Ø 76 mm and 152 mm cores for adhesive tape, labels, and industrial films.
Why Senmei

Three reasons customers keep coming back.

01

Tuned to your stock, not ours.

Every SM1600-Q ships with a recipe card for your specific tube diameter, wall thickness, and length. Blade type, depth, and feed rate are dialed in before crating.

02

Tested on your tubes, in our factory.

Senmei engineers run a factory acceptance test with your stock and verify length accuracy before the machine ships.

03

Support that doesn't expire.

Lifetime remote diagnostics, on-site engineer dispatch available globally, and a 12-month warranty — extended to 24 months on request.
