OFS-VS (vertical knife)

OFS-VS (VERTICAL KNIFE)

All-purpose vertical contour cutting machine for the converting of sheets and block ware with utmost accuracy and performance

 

OFS-VS vertical contour cutting machine

The machine consists of a stationary cutting unit with an integrated knife guiding and a belt system coupled by a PLC control.

  • A cutting speed of 80 m/min allows a very high productivity
  • Pre-programmable speed for different cutting materials
  • Accurate contours and narrow tolerances due to a knife turning angle of +/- 270° respectively +/- 360° and a very thin knife – perfect cutting of even cute angles, sharp edges and small radii
  • Hold-down system secures material with low self-adhesion or high stacking heights, in particular with fleece materials
  • Due to the innovative design with two separated cutting units only litte space is needed.
  • Utilisation of a micro-toothed knife is possible and spares the regrinding of the knife and ensures a constant cutting quality
  • Optional inclusion of on-board lateral brackets for optimum fixation of sheet stacks consisting of materials with a smooth surface, PE sheets, laminated materials
  • The OFS-VS is eminently suited for being integrated into a cutting line, e. g. in connection with a horizontal splitting machine and a stacking machine or with a horizontal contour cutting machine

Foundation Plan


 

Loading and unloading conveyor

  • Allow an automatic loading and unloading and thus a continuous production flow
  • Positioning upstream and downstream of the machine, respectively in various lengths
  • Recommended for the integration of the machine into an automatic cutting line
  • Prevention of machine down times

NC axis

  • Additional transport belts as NC axis upstream and downstream of the machine
  • Lengthening of the cutting length by up to 12 m
  • Continuous cutting of longer blocs/sheet stacks, e. g. polyester, Fleece or foam

Upper knife guide

  • The height-adjustable upper knife guide moves automatically to a height of about 50 mm above the material
  • Reduces the unused knife length for a better fixation of the knife
  • For increasing the cutting accuracy and speed

Roller holding down device

  • Roller holding down device for the fixation of the material to be cut
  • Lowerable to a height of 50 mm above the table
  • The rollers are driven synchronoulsy to the table speed.

Grinding unit

  • Optional equipment of the machine with a grinding unit
  • Precise grinding due to a feed motion of 1/100 mm realised by motor
  • Necessary with the utilisation of ground knives
  • We recommend the utilisation of ground knives when converting materials such as non-woven material and latex
