Cut to Length, as the name suggests, is indexing movements for length feeding and cutting at the pre-set point. It can be cutting or stamping or punching or sensing. Basically, it is a cyclic movement that repeats after every completion of a sequence. So, cut to length is a very generic term, that covers a wide range of similar cyclic applications.
We have designed and ingeniously developed our microcontroller-based controllers with MMI that can be programmed for any such application. All user and engineering parameters are settable on site. We have developed our acceleration and deceleration patterns in sinusoidal, linear, triangular form which gives a very smooth performance at low speeds. The hardware is micro-controller based, and it comes with 20×4 LCD display with 18 keys. Being equipped with 8 DI/8 DO, it is a great alternative to a PLC and HMI based system and finds its place as a low-cost solution.
Wire Forming and Bending/Cutting
This is yet another example of a cut-to-length application. Here, metallic wires of different thicknesses or gauges are fed in the machine. The wire bunch lies next to the feeder, which does not have the support of an Unwinder AC motor. Here too, servo or stepper motor actuates the feeder to feed an accurate length of wire in the machine. Instead of a cutter, cam operated mechanisms bend and twist the wire such that it takes a desirable shape.
Foil Stamping Machine
Stepper motors can be very reliably used for Hot Foil stamping applications. This too is a Cut-to-Length process. The Foil is moved by a settable distance by the stepper motor. A relay output directs a roller to transmit the Hot impression on the foil.
Orion-make Hot Foil Stamping Controllers are extremely easy to use on such machines. It comes with multiple foil pull settings so as to provide maximum foil utilization. The controller works on a built-in roll-on technology. With features including counting of total stamps, allowing flexible tuning of motor for suiting different machines an manual control of stepper motors, the system comes with 4 LEDs, back-lit LCD display, membrane keypad with 18 keys MMI and 4 relay outputs and digital inputs. The programs come with a recipe setting of 10 programs, with each program having separate counters, and one can reset separate counters individually.
