OVERVIEW:
The M700 Control Module (M700C) contains
the system’s user interface and also provides
the power and the distributed intelligence to
all downstream modules connected to it. The
M700C can be used with the Feeder Module
alone, a cutter module alone, or with both
the Feeder Module and a cutter module for
automated material processing.
