Press Roll Feed (constant
time/constant angle)
This application is typically cutting strip material into pre-set lengths with a
‘Press Shear’ (heavy-duty knife). The material must be stationary when the
cut is made and the cut takes place over a fixed amount of time or a fixed
angle of the driving crank whose speed is varied to match the cut rate.
This application is typically cutting strip material into pre-set lengths with a
‘Flying Shear’ (heavy-duty knife on a moving carriage). The shear must be
stationary relative to the material (for example, moving at line speed) when
the cut is made and the cut takes a fixed time.
This application is typically cutting strip material into pre-set lengths with a
‘Rotary Knife’ (heavy-duty knife blades mounted on a pair of rotating
drums). The blades must be stationary relative to the material (for example,
moving at line speed) when the cut is made and the cut takes place over a
fixed drum angle.
These templates let you enter data for complex mechanisms. Advanced
Templates include the Inertia Calculator, Crank, Winder/Unwinder, and Four
Bar Linkage.
These templates let you enter torque and speed values that are used to
calculate the power requirement for the application.
