2.1.3Properties and features of the core “flying saw” functions

The following properties and features were taken into account when implementing the core functions, and can also be used in a user program that you generate yourself:

Precisely synchronizing at a specific position

The "flying" axis is accelerated to the velocity of the material web so that this reaches this velocity above a position on the material that can be specified.

Flying axis

The "flying" axis and the material move at the same velocity while sawing/cutting.

The starting position of the "flying" axis can be set

The starting position of the "flying" axis between two cuts can be set using a parameter at the core function.

"Cutting" at a print mark

The synchronous position is detected using a measuring probe and print mark.

"Cutting" to length

The synchronous position is calculated from the distance that the material has moved through.

Immediate cut

A cut is initiated by an operator function independently of the distance that the material has moved. (This function is only possible for "cut" to length!)

Creating a gap

After a cut has been made, the cutting unit additionally moves the cut material in the direction in which the material is moving until a certain distance is reached to the rest of the material. This distance can be specified. The cutting unit only returns to its starting position after this operation has been completed.

Asymptotic synchronizing

The “flying” axis is accelerated to the velocity of the material web without overshoot in velocity.

Gearing Ratio

Ratio between measured and effective velocity of the material web.
