Cut-To-Length Units

Material:  3" thick x 15" wide rubber

Requirements

This application required a machine to cut rubber on an extruder line.  Extruder line speed was 45'/minute.  Cut length was 12"-25" with a cut accuracy of +/- .020"

Material:  Hook and loop fastener tape and elastic materials in roll form

 Requirements:

 This application required one system to unwind and cut two different types of materials at different lengths.

Material:  Polyester lamination film

• Material thickness:  .003”
• Roll ID: 3”
• Roll OD: 8”
• Roll weight: 6 pounds max

Requirements:

This application required unwinding a roll of polyester lamination film and cutting to length; eliminating static through the process.

Material:  Absorbent padding 

Requirements:

This application required cutting multiple layers of material.

Material:  Mylar film

Roll dimensions:

• 14” wide
• 13” OD
• 3” ID
• 96 lbs.

Requirements:

This application required unwinding and cutting perforated film.

Material:  5” wide poly tubing

Requirements: 

This application required unwinding a roll of poly tubing, feeding it into a heat sealing station, and cutting the material to length.

Material:  200mm [7.87"] max Nonwoven, 100mm [3.94"] Film

Requirements

Feed, micro-perforate, punch and cut material with accuracy +/- 0.38mm [0.015"] or 0.1% of cut length, whichever is greater.

Material: 12 gram cotton.

Requirements

Feed material into machine through 10 adjustable lanes. Cut 4" lengths of the material at a speed of 100cpm.

Custom FG-400 with a dancer unwind and conveyor. It includes an encoder, 3 modes of operation, eye registration, PTFE coated material guide, a reduced rake of 3.3 degrees, large opening and pneumatic preload. Minimum length 2”, max length 65”.

AZCO SUR-CUT™ Station with a cordless unwind, Brake RF110, punch station, dual tape station and FG-110 cut to length.

Requirements

Application: a 70mm film on a spool which needed to have a UV adhesive placed onto it; laminate a thicker plastic top piece; go through a set of nip rollers; and then cut the lamination to a registered mark to length.

Material:  Clear plastic in roll form

• Thickness:           0.010” [0.25mm]
• Width:                  6.25” [158.8mm]
• Cut Length:        11” [279.4mm]
• Tolerance:           +/- 0.015” [0.38mm]

Requirements: 

This application required punching and cutting to length a high static material.

Requirements

This application required accurately feeding a paper-based product with a lot of dots on it to a length based on the position of the dots, slit it, cut it into small pieces, and take it away to go into the next process.

Material: 2mm PVC shrink film.  It is a seamless tube.

Requirements

Feed material out on demand.  Cut 160mm lengths at a cycle rate of 60 pieces per minute, and cut 315mm cut parts at a cycle rate of 40 cycles per minute.

Material: .010” x 6.25" wide thick clear plastic with a sputtered gold coating on one side which could not be in contact.

Requirements

Feed and cut to a precision length with a tolerance of +/-.015 inches.

Material:  3/8” x 3" wide pad, with sealed air between each pad. 

Requirements

Accurately feed the pads and cut an 8” piece to a registered position in between the sealed areas.  The pads needed to come out in a position to be handed to a secondary process.  Cycle requirements were 80 cuts per minute.
