Designed for high-capacity production facilities with extensive cutting demands, this advanced carousel machine delivers fast, precise slicing, making it especially valuable for cutting low-density foam sheets down to 1.5 mm thickness.
Construction:
Built with a heavy-duty welded steel frame, the machine features a rotary table composed of solid inner and outer rings connected by mild steel pipes. The table rotates on heavy-duty rollers, while the cutting assembly remains stationary, moving vertically on sturdy pillars to ensure stable and accurate cuts.
Standard Features:
- Rotary slitting table with friction-coated tabletop
- Circumferential friction drive enabling smooth, gradual start and stop of the table
- Variable table speed control from 0 to 10 rpm via a variable frequency drive
- Slitting unit equipped with four dynamically balanced blade wheels
- Motorized vertical slitting head with precise raising and lowering mechanism
- PTFE-coated (Teflon) tensioned blade guide
- Single-edge ground band-knife. Band-knife width: 30mm
- Automatic blade grinding system with durable CBN cup stones
- Dust extraction system for grinding area
- Integrated vacuum system in the cutting zone for foam stabilization
- Adjustable slitting angle from 0 to 5 degrees via electric controls
- PLC-based control panel with full-color touchscreen
- Preselection of sheet thickness (1.5 to 200 mm) via touchscreen or vernier control
- Preselection of table revolutions (1 to 999) displayed digitally
- Powerful vacuum system in slitting area – 3hp x 4
- Electric blade drive geared motor – 3hp
- Blade breakage detection with automatic shutdown
- Blade operation indicator light
Blade Drive System:
The band knife operates on four PU-coated, precision-balanced wheels mounted on adjustable bearing hubs and powered by an electric motor. The 30 mm-wide blade runs through a pre-tensioned knife guide, ensuring stability and accurate positioning throughout the cutting process.
Key Benefits:
- Heavy-duty frame built for durability and precision
- High-speed cutting up to 10 revolutions per minute for increased productivity
- Automatic blade grinding system extends blade life with consistent edge quality
- Stable edge system maintains blade position, reducing wear
- Digital display of cutting speed and blade height for easy monitoring
- Footswitch-controlled single-point loading and unloading for operator convenience
- Large color touchscreen includes built-in user manual
- Safety features include immediate table stop on power loss
- Aluminum tabletop with friction coating improves material handling
- Top pressure roller enhances cutting of high-density foam blocks
- Multi-recipe program supports various cutting profiles
Single Block Mode:
For small batch jobs, the table adjusts speed dynamically — moving slowly only when cutting a block and speeding up between cuts — optimizing cycle times and saving operational time.
Safety Features:
- Safety barriers surrounding the blade area
- Covers protecting all moving parts
- Blade enclosed except at the cutting edge
- Blade ON indicator light
- Emergency stop button on control panel
- Blade breakage detection with automatic shutdown
Technical Specifications:
- Power supply: 415 V AC (custom 220 V / 60 Hz available on request)
- Cutting and stacking height: 1400 mm
- Total power consumption: 24 HP / 18 kW
