TRAVELING KNIFE ASSEMBLY
SKU: TS KNIFE
This modular knife assembly can be made to any size up to 5.5m/18′ cut width. It has a rotary shear cut blade which cuts against a hardened anvil. Also available is the crush cut blade, which could be used in place of the shear cut blade for perforating, crush cutting, or score cutting of the material. Two actuators are available: a pneumatic system or a digital electric drive package.
The cutting process starts with the material entering the unit up to the specified length. Then the clamp secures the material in place as the blade travels straight across the web for a clean cut. End-of-stroke sensors indicate when the cut has come to each end, which allows the unit to cut in either direction.
