Flying Shear
The Flying Shear is a common industrial application for cutting
a continuous product to a set length while at line speed.This means
that the main production process is not interrupted, and so machine
productivity is maximised.
Typical applications include various types of cut to length
machines, depositors, punches, product inspection, or any other
process where synchronisation at line speed is required.
Standard Features
- Easy configuration
- Hardware and software limits
- Manual jog functions
- Several homing modes
- High speed output is used to initiate the cut
- Registration capture
- Batch control functions
- Dynamic motion profile changes on the fly
- Engineering units are used for programming
- Units are defined for the master and slave axis as the number
of encoder counts per unit.These are entered as a numerator and
denominator to allow fractional values
- Resolution of the ‘cut-length’ may be entered to within 0.001
units
- Profile optimization reduces the machines mechanical stress,
the return profile is calculated to operate at the slowest speed
and acceleration rate, and yet with sufficient time to achieve the
next cut, either triangular or trapezoidal profiles are used
- Parallel and angled carriage applications are handled
