Moreover, it can be set up for single or double cuts without having to change the knife. Paper feed into the cutter can be from a roll, or a continuous stack.

With a document length of 12", the Kern 996 achieves a performance of 66,000 cut forms per hour (with single cut), or 60,000 cut forms per hour (with 1/6" double cut).

The Kern 996 Automatic Cutter has been specially designed for safety and ease of operation.

For example, the intake of paper has been simplified: it is now automated, for fast and straightforward job setup. Ergonomically designed operating controls make the unit easier to work with; the main adjustments are all accomplished without any need for tools.

All paper paths are easily accessible, so adjustment work can be performed quickly. Noise exposure from the automatic cutter is no more than a modest 78 dB.

Like all other Kern products, the Kern 996 is guaranteed for a long service life under three-shift operating conditions. Service checks are only necessary after every 20 million cuts.
