Optimizing Performance: Blade Care for Your Automatic Roll to Sheet Cutting Machine

The blades in your automatic roll to sheet cutting machine are vital for achieving clean, precise cuts in various rolled materials. Understanding proper blade adjustment, assembly, and maintenance is essential for maximizing machine performance and minimizing downtime.

Factors Affecting Blade Quality:

Material: High-quality steel or high-speed steel blades ensure optimal sharpness and durability.
Manufacturing Process: Precise manufacturing techniques are critical for blade consistency and longevity.
Machine Control Systems:

Automatic roll to sheet cutting machines typically utilize either PLC + servo/stepper control or integrated circuit board + servo/stepper control systems.

Material Versatility:

These machines offer exceptional versatility, handling a wide range of materials, including:

Fabrics (PU, leather, PVC, TPU)
Webbing, zippers, and Velcro
Adhesive foam sponge, EVA, and soft plastic pipes
Small wires, labels, and protective film
Composite materials, PET, double-sided tape
Flexible circuit boards and ribbon cables
Benefits of Microcomputer Cutting Machines:

Microcomputer-controlled cutting machines overcome the limitations of manual cutting, offering significant advantages:

Improved Efficiency: Automates cutting tasks, saving labor and boosting production output.
Dimensional Accuracy: Ensures consistent cut lengths for uniform products.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Delivers clean, professional cuts that improve product appearance.
Material Savings: Minimizes waste by maximizing material utilization.
Troubleshooting and Blade Adjustments:

Rough cut edges or misalignment often indicate blade issues. Fortunately, adjustments or reinstallation can address these problems.

Important Safety Note: Always turn off the power switch and exercise caution to avoid electrical hazards before performing any blade maintenance.

Blade Adjustment Procedure:

Secure the Blade: With the power off, tighten nut N while holding screw P with a Phillips screwdriver. Avoid overtightening screw P, which can hinder operation.

Sharpening the Blades: Use an L8 wrench to move the drag plate up and down, grinding the upper and lower blades together. Lower the drag plate and test-cut a material sample for smoothness.

Fine-Tuning the Cut:

For a rough left-side cut with burrs, slightly tighten nut N on the left and loosen it on the right. Repeat if necessary.
If the issue persists, insert paper behind the non-cutting area of the blade to increase contact.
Adjust the right side similarly if needed.
Blade Assembly Instructions:

Clean the Blades: Wipe the blades and contact surfaces with a clean cloth to remove debris.

Install the Lower Blade: Place the lower blade on the device, ensuring alignment with the connecting plate. Tighten the three fixing screws sequentially.

Position the Upper Blade: Manually raise the drag plate to its highest point and install the upper blade. Leave the fixing screws loose for now.

Tighten and Adjust: Lower the drag plate completely and tighten the upper blade’s fixing screws (middle screw first, then sides).

Calibrate the Cutting Edges: Gradually open the upper and lower blade edges using the manual adjustment method. Repeat several times to prevent burrs. Finally, raise the drag plate to its highest position.

Effective Blade Maintenance:

Cleaning: Mix detergent or soap powder with water to remove dirt, salt, and grease. Thoroughly clean the blades and rotating parts, then rinse with clean water. Wipe dry with a cloth, using a cotton swab or thin bamboo stick for intricate areas. Alternatively, use a cold air blow dryer for complete drying.
By following these guidelines for blade adjustment, assembly, and maintenance, you can ensure optimal performance for your automatic roll to sheet cutting machine, leading to consistent, high-quality cuts and maximizing the efficiency of your cutting operations.
