  • Page 9 The driving mechanism for the knife is shown in Figure 4. Hydraulic Double-acting Cylinder/Actuator (1) is fixed on the Knuckle (2). Piston Rod (3) is connected with the Levers (4), which are connected with Connecting Rod (5), which pull Knife Beam (6) together with the knife.
  • Page 10 The driving mechanism for the clamping bar is shown in Figure 5. Hydraulic double- acting Cylinder/Actuator (1) through the Levers ( 2), pulls down the Clamping Bar ( 3). Clamping Bar is shifted in the slideways (not shown in Figure 5) , which guarantees it's parallel to the cutting line.

    measure and check the position of the Backgauge with the use of the LED Cut Line (7). Two switches (9 and 10) stop the Backgauge in extreme positions. Precise setting of Backgauge is possible by using the Manual Crank (5). The Rotary Encoder (6) is connected with the Lead Screw (3) and allows for the measurement and display of the Backgauge position.

  • Page 19 5.2 Clamping The cut material is being clamped automatically after pressing cut cycle buttons 1(drawing 12). Clamping pressure can be adjusted by crank 2 (d.12). Rotating clockwise cause pressure increase and anticlockwise decrease. Drawing 12. Location of the clamp pressure indicator A value of this force is evaluated experimentally, relating to the sort, width and the height of the cut material.
