It also features Splice Coach, a built-in virtual mentor that provides real-time feedback on splicing techniques, helping technicians master new skills faster. Built-in GPS tracking and location-based locking ensure the splicer always stays secure and traceable. The CT60 Cleaver brings automation to blade management with its enhanced Auto Blade Adjustment system, now offering 28 positions for finer control.
