Cardboard cutting machine

G. Kraft Maschinenbau GmbH KRAFT VPS100-1500

The Kraft VPS100/1500 is a high-precision, fully automatic carton cutting machine designed for flexible and efficient production of shipping and protective packaging from continuous corrugated board – ideal for companies with a wide range of small batch series or on-demand production. Its patented multi-tool system allows for creasing, perforating, and cutting in a single pass, both longitudinally via the processing roller and transversely via the integrated cutting bar.

🎛 Processing & Tools

6× multifunction tools for longitudinal processing
1× multifunction tool for transversal processing
Creases are applied gently using creasing skids – reduces carton cracking
Perforation via oscillating cutting knife, intensity adjustable
Cutting with a serrated knife on a rubberized roller → low-fiber, tactile cut edge

⚙ Drive & Mechanics

Maintenance-free, high-dynamic linear drives for precise feed
Segmented top pressure for reliable carton feed
2 rubberized rollers as counter-cut and transport medium
