at the GUNNAR booth #1411:

 

In front of a crowd of industry officials, journalists & anxiously curious framers GUNNAR finally revealed the world’s latest CMC, the new GUNNAR 4001, with its official debut. Grant Mason introduced the new evolution in CMC technology with a brief review of the GUNNAR’s history of product development showing images of previous GUNNAR models; the GUNNAR 2001, 1001, Rapido and 3001.

 

After this Grant Davidson and Robert Kastl unlocked and removed the green satin cover to the sound of applause, displayed by the excitement of the crowd. The GUNNAR 4001 was turned on and after the first board was cut, everybody was amazed and overwhelmed at the sheer speed and design of the world’s latest, and fastest CMC.

 

The GUNNAR 4001 features the popular split-table clamping system (COE mode), where a single operator can work both sides of the machine, safely loading & unloading, left to right.

 

The new 190x125cm/74" x 49" oversized cutting table allows operators to benefit from using unconventional, un-trimmed sheets of mat with ease, allowing the framer to create perfectly sized mats whilst using matboard in its most cost effective form.

 

Offering "the best of both worlds", the innovative GUNNAR 4001 features an evolutionary turning point of a hybrid "vacuum table" and "button" clamping systems; allowing the operator the ability to confidentially secure either full sheets or smaller off-cuts of matboard without compromise or fear of slippage.

 

With many other industry unique production features such as, Swiss precision & engineering, GUNNAR's famous "Dynamic Blade Depth", and "Pool Mode" for automatic nested layouts, the GUNNAR 4001 is literally in a class of it's own. Check out more details here.
