MDS Ltd Linear Traverse
Cutters offer repeatable, high accuracy cutting for many extruded sheet
and other slow-moving web processes. A multi-axis Servo Drive System
locks the linear-guided Cutter Carriage precisely on to web speed whilst
a cutting head traverses the feed direction and cuts the web. The Cutters
shown are fitted with “Flying Knives” and replace conventional
guillotines on poly-board extruding lines – high cut-accuracy removes
the need for additional off-line product trimming. MDS Ltd can design
these units with a variety of different cutters, as well as offer the
same
basic control platform for other positioning / following applications.
