Rotary Knife

Rotary knife applications include an axis of servo that responds intelligently to incoming pulses from an encoder to cut a material that is moving. Typically, the servo axis rotates continuously to perform a cutting action while responding dynamically to any fluctuations in the line speed or product length. A synchronous encoder following function is used in combination with high speed registration.


Example Applications

Rotary knife applications can be adapted to perform a variety of functions. Some of the example machine applications include:

♦ Steel & paper cutting
♦ Perforation
♦ Labeling
♦ Stamping
♦ Flat material sealing
♦ Scanning
