Challenge CHAMP 185Pro

18" Hydraulic Paper Cutter

The CHAMP 185 series delivers hydraulic powered strength and durability with easy to use controls to the 18” cutter market that is crowded with weaker electric motor powered machines. The CHAMP’s strong ¼” thick cold rolled steel weldment frame offers a superior design allowing operators to cut today’s hard stocks accurately in piles of up to 3.25” high.

The new Pro system provides intuitive controls designed for both new users and cutting professionals. The 7″ full-color display with quick-response capacative touch enables fluid controls and more powerful features.

Proudly manufactured at our factory in Michigan, the USA made CHAMP 185 cutter has wheels with lockable casters allowing the machine to easily be moved – even through standard 36” wide doorways.

The Pro systems includes fast backgauge positioning, continous cut history (cut-and-record), advanced job creation, USB & built-in memory, step-and-repeat, instant unit conversion (in-mm), and many more features. Get the most out of your machine with the CHAMP 185Pro.

Proudly manufactured in the USA, the CHAMP 185Pro continues our legacy of providing assurance you made the right decision.
