BIAS CUTTER UPGRADE
DATUM bias cutter upgrades and conversions are the smartest way to extend the life of your legacy NRM or other bias cutter system. Improve performance, reliability, safety, and maintenance costs with a modern cutter system that is designed to drop onto the framework of your existing line. There is no better ROI than DATUM.


DATUM bias cutter upgrades are designed to replace obsolete NRM and Banner bias cutter heads and related parts. As the single most critical, complex and specialized part of your bias cutter line, the beam and cutter head run continuously to produce belt and ply material for your products.  Maintenance on these machine assets is difficult, and they are expensive to replace. The DATUM upgrade system presents a cost-effective alternative to revamp your bias cutter and extend the life of your line for decades.
Stressed that your bias cutter equipment might be obsolete? No longer useful? With DATUM's capability to retrofit your existing machine, there's no longer any need. Â
