Fairfield, NJ – July 7, 2016 – AZCO Corp. has designed a modular pneumatic guillotine cutter assembly capable of cutting out a slug of material for an application involving polyester material 610 mm wide and 0.10 mm – 0.30 mm thick, with zippers and gussets. The unit has a single moveable blade as well as two stationary blades, creating a dual cut surface. The blades cut on both sides of the material, creating a clean slug that is removed from the package. The unit makes a complete cycle and comes back to the home position waiting for the next signal.
The SMARTKNIFE™ features easy installation and quiet operation. Unlike traditional guillotine cutter assemblies, the SMARTKNIFE™ has taken all the essentials of a knife assembly and integrated them into a compact package. All that is needed is an air supply and a signal.
The SMARTKNIFE™ is pneumatically-operated with a self-contained air cylinder / manifold / solenoid. It is no longer necessary to spend the time or labor to install air lines, fittings, solenoids or sensors to control the knife position. The SMARTKNIFE™ is equipped with an embedded microprocessor and a complete control package which allows the knife to achieve higher speeds than the standard guillotine knife, with cycle rates exceeding 400 cuts per minute.
