-
High-precision cutting for production-grade results
The WPL408 Guillotine Cutter Module is designed to deliver razor-sharp, square cuts with minimal runner marks or burrs. The alignment system, blade geometry, and counterblade pairing are engineered to minimize material shifting during the cut, ensuring consistent output across long production runs. This precision is essential when working with tolerances that affect downstream finishing, folding, or lamination processes. The result is fewer reworks, less scrap, and greater confidence in every sheet or label pass through the cutter.
-
Adjustable cutting depth and pressure for diverse media
Materials vary widely in thickness and stiffness, and the WPL408 Cutter Module accommodates that variety. With a user-friendly adjustment mechanism, operators can dial in blade depth and clamping pressure to suit cardstock, label stock, synthetic films, and coated papers without compromising edge quality. The ability to tailor the cut to material characteristics reduces delamination and crushing, preserves surface finishes, and preserves the integrity of printable coatings. This adaptability translates into broader material compatibility and the freedom to explore different substrate options without sacrificing performance.
-
Quick-change blade system to minimize downtime
Downtime is costly in a high-volume setting, so the WPL408 Guillotine Cutter Module features a straightforward blade-change process that minimizes stoppages. The blade cartridge is designed for rapid replacement, with clearly marked orientation and an intuitive removal/installation sequence. Maintenance teams can perform blade swaps during scheduled downtime or between jobs, keeping production lines flowing and ensuring consistent cut quality from first label to last card. Regular blade maintenance, paired with the quick-change design, helps maintain peak performance and repeatability over the cutter’s service life.
-
Rugged, production-ready construction
Engineered for reliability, the WPL408 Cutter Module employs heavy-duty materials and protective finishes that stand up to demanding environments. The all-metal chassis provides a stable cutting platform, while precision-machined components resist wear and maintain alignment despite vibration, temperature shifts, or extended operation. The robust design helps reduce setup time between jobs because the module stays true to its reference positions, cutting after cut without drifting. For facilities prioritizing uptime and predictable output, the WPL408 Cutter Module offers the durability and consistency expected in modern print-and-cut workflows.
-
Safety-first design and seamless integration
Safety is paramount in heavy-duty cutting operations. The WPL408 Guillotine Cutter Module incorporates built-in safety features, intuitive guard indicators, and ergonomic access points that promote safer operation. The module is designed to integrate with Wasp’s existing control architecture, enabling synchronized timing with feed systems and prepress workflows. Operators benefit from clear visibility of the cutting area, straightforward start/stop controls, and predictable behavior under automatic indexing. The combination of safety, reliability, and compatibility helps teams focus on efficiency rather than troubleshooting.

How to Install Wasp WPL408 Guillotine Cutter Module
- Step 1: Power down the WPL408 system and disconnect from any power source to ensure a safe installation environment.
- Step 2: Locate the mounting interface on the WPL408 base and align the Guillotine Cutter Module with the specified attachment points. Gently slide the module into place until it seats firmly.
- Step 3: Secure the module using the supplied fasteners. Ensure fasteners are torqued to the manufacturer’s recommendations to maintain alignment and rigidity during operation.
- Step 4: Connect any required control cables and safety interlocks per the user manual, verifying correct routing to prevent interference with moving parts or feed paths.
- Step 5: Calibrate the cutting alignment. Use built-in alignment marks and reference sheets to verify blade position relative to the counterblade. Adjust blade depth and clamping pressure as needed to match your media, then run a test cut on sacrificial samples to confirm clean, square results before production runs.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What materials can the Wasp WPL408 Guillotine Cutter Module handle? The module is designed for a broad range of media typically used with WPL408 systems, including label stock, coated papers, cardstock, and thin films. Material thickness and finish influence blade depth and clamping pressure, which you can adjust to achieve optimal cuts. For specialty substrates, consult the official manual or technical support to confirm compatibility and recommended settings.
- Is the cutter module compatible with all WPL408 configurations? The WPL408 Guillotine Cutter Module is engineered for seamless integration with standard WPL408 configurations. It is designed to align with the machine’s mounting interface and control schema. Always verify your specific model revision and firmware compatibility before installation to ensure optimal performance and safety compliance.
- How do I maintain cutting quality over time? Regular blade inspections, cleaning, and periodic replacement are key. Clean the blade and counterblade surfaces to remove adhesive, dust, and debris. Replace blades according to usage volume and observed wear to sustain edge quality and cut accuracy. Routine calibration checks after blade changes or media type shifts help preserve consistent results.
- Can I adjust the blade depth and pressure for different media on the fly? Yes. The WPL408 Cutter Module provides straightforward adjustment controls for blade depth and clamping pressure. Before running a new job, perform a quick calibration pass on a sample piece to dial in the exact settings. This practice minimizes waste and ensures consistent cuts across batches with varying media.
- What kind of warranty or service support is available? Warranty terms typically depend on regional policies and the retailer or manufacturer. Contact your supplier for the most accurate information regarding coverage, service intervals, and availability of replacement parts. Regular software and firmware updates may also be available to improve performance and compatibility with newer media types.
