1. DDS-R Control System :
(1) Basic Mechanism
(a) The condition in which the sheet travels is continuously detected by means of a pulse generator on the measuring wheel.
(b) The topological condition in which the knife drum rotates is continuously detected by means of a pulse generator mounted on the motor shaft.
(c) The DDS motor rotating condition is continuously detected by means of a tacho-generator mounted on the motor shaft.
(d) The point in time when the knife drum passes the reference point is detected by means of a proximity switch.
The above-cited mechanisms are responseble for control of the acceleration/deceleration of the knife drum which serves to maintain the predetermined cutting lengths and cutter synchronization.
(2) Basic Control
(a) Cutting length control
Knife drum rotation control to secure the cutting length is set by means of a digital switch.
(b) Stop control
Stop control for accelerating and decelerating the knife drum rotation.
2. RSC Features :
1. One-touch predetermination of cutting length
2. Maintenance of precise cutting lengths.
3. Instantaneuos alteration of cutting lengths.
4. Improved sharpness and elimination of edge adjustment.
5. Extraordinarily long knife life.
6. Free cutting of short and long sized sheets.
7. Mark cutting.
8. Ease of maintenance and inspection.
9. Replacement of present equipment facilitated by system's compactness.
3. ROC Features :
1. A rectangularly cut section is assured, providing results similar to a guilotine.
2. High-speed, high-accuracy cutting process is continuously assured without interruption of sheet flow.
3. Extremely precise rectangularity is attained by means of a cutter synchronization device acting on the sheet.
4. Die-set cutting and blanking processes are possible, and can be done simultaneoutly.
5. The provision of the DDS-R control system makes it possible to change the cutting length instantly.
6. Although it has a broad cutter width, it can even handle short sheet cutting which is beyond the capability of conventional rotary cutters.
