The core of the ribbon slitting machine to achieve efficient slitting lies in the combination of precise control, automation technology and intelligent design, the following is a detailed functional analysis of its efficient operation:
1. High-precision slitting control
• Servo drive system: Servo motor with high-precision ball screw is used to ensure that the moving accuracy of the slitting turret can reach ±0.1mm, and avoid burrs or deviations on the edge of the ribbon.
• Tension closed-loop control: Adjust the unwinding/rewinding tension in real time (usually controlled in the range of 2~10N) through magnetic particle brake or pneumatic brake to prevent material stretch deformation or wrinkles.
• Dynamic correction system: the photoelectric sensor detects the edge position of the ribbon, and cooperates with the PLC to control the correction mechanism (response time< 0.1 seconds) to ensure that the material does not deviate during the slitting process.
2. Automation function design
• Automatic tool change technology: The round blade or flat knife group is equipped with a quick change module, the tool change time can be shortened to 30 seconds, and it supports the slitting needs of different widths (such as 3mm~80mm).
• Intelligent fixed-length slitting: the length of the material is measured by the encoder, and the machine will automatically stop after reaching the set value (such as 1000m), with an error of <0.5%.
• Self-adaptation of the winding diameter: the winding shaft adopts frequency conversion speed regulation, which automatically reduces the speed with the increase of the winding diameter to keep the linear speed constant (such as 30m/min).
3. Efficient tooling system
• Multi-head collaboration: Equipped with 8~12 sets of independent tool holders, it supports simultaneous slitting of multiple ribbons (e.g., slitting 1.2m wide original rolls into 10 12mm narrow strips).
• Tool material optimization: carbide or ceramic-coated inserts can last more than 500 hours, reducing the number of downtimes for sharpening.
• Laser tool setting technology (high-end model): the blade position is calibrated by laser with an accuracy of ±0.02mm.
4. Intelligent management
• HMI HMI: The touch screen presets the slitting parameters (width, length, tension, etc.), and supports the storage of more than 100 sets of process recipes.
• IoT monitoring: real-time upload data such as slitting speed and fault alarm to the MES system to achieve remote diagnosis (such as tool wear warning).
• Visual inspection system (optional): CCD camera detects the edge quality of the ribbon after slitting, and automatically rejects unqualified products.
5. Energy-saving and safety design
• Energy-saving mode: Standby power consumption < 500W, which saves 20%~30% energy compared with traditional models.
• Safety protection: equipped with grating emergency stop (response time 4ms), blade guard, etc., in line with CE safety standards.
An example of a typical efficient slitting process
1. Feeding: Load the original roll of the 1.5m wide ribbon into the unwinding reel and automatically align it.
2. Parameter setting: input slitting width (15mm×10 strips) and length (2000m/roll).
3. Automatic slitting: The equipment completes slitting according to the set parameters, and the rewinding uniformity reaches more than 98%.
4. Unloading: Pneumatic thimble device quickly unloads the finished roll.
Industry application data
• Efficiency comparison: The traditional slitting machine can process 200~300m per hour, and the high-efficiency model can reach 800~1200m.
• Scrap rate: from the traditional 5% to less than 0.8%.
Through the integration of the above technologies, the modern ribbon slitting machine can achieve 24-hour continuous and efficient production, which is suitable for label printing, electronic die-cutting and other fields with strict precision requirements. When selecting the equipment, it is necessary to adjust the parameters according to the material of the ribbon (polyester/wax/hybrid) to further optimize the effect.
As the core equipment of the label printing industry, the ribbon slitting machine has much more than a simple "cutting".
