flexible foam:dual axis oscillating blade flexible foam contour cutter
3D cutting made simple with dual axis profiling
2D shapes may also be created, as in single blade machines, and the other axis then used to cut the contour shapes to width (or height). optimising yield & minimising handling
Like all of Wintech's machines, the Dual Oscillating Blade Contour Cutter is controlled by the simple-to-use Wintech assisted design, nesting and machine control program that makes the operation of the machine easy to staff at all levels. high speed oscillating blade
With an oscillating blade, unlimited rotation is possible. Machines that use a continuous blade need to repeatedly stop cutting to perform an untwist of the blade and then recommence, adding time to the profiling job and increasing the spacing required between nested shapes. automated block support
The clamp is raised or lowered using the horizontal blade transport, minimizing operator involvement and set up time required. When it is not in use, it is fast blade changes
The whole operation literally takes only a matter of minutes, ensuring maximum machine availability for the business of cutting foam comprehensive safety systems

3D profiling has never been simpler than with the Dual Axis Contour Cutter. With the combination of the powerful Wintech Profiler software and the Dual Axis Contour Cutter, 3D shape design is as simple as drawing a horizontal profile and then a vertical one. Where the array of the nested vertical and horizontal contours intersect, the 3D shapes are created. As there is a blade for both the vertical and horizontal contours, there is no need for block handling until the job is finished.
By providing both horizontal and vertical blades, only the Wintech Dual Oscillating Blade Contour Cutter allows you to choose on which face of the block you will profile and so ensure the best possible yield from the block. In 2D cutting, the added benefit is that the other blade is available to perform the slicing to width or height function, all while the block is still on the machine.
Wintech's high blade speed (50 cycles / second) gives over 3 times the acceleration of other machines. The blade moves so fast that the foam is cut rather than vibrated.
For improved accuracy when profiling with the vertical or horizontal blades, an optional block support can be provided. Using motorized rollers synchronized with the conveyor, the clamp stabilizes the block when profiling complimenting the precision with which the dual blade profiler cuts.
The fine but inexpensive blades take only minutes to change. To remove a blade, a simple tool is used to release the blade from the blade clamp and the blade is then slid out. A new blade is easily inserted into the clamp and the machine is ready for use again.
The Oscillating Blade machine includes comprehensive safety systems to ensure incident free operation. These systems include full length safety screens with interlocking switches and a number of emergency stop switches. Activation of one of these switches results in the immediate stopping of the blade motor. There are also air and oil sensors, blade tension sensors, and limit switches to ensure safe and trouble free machine operation.
The Wintech Profiler software is exactly the type of feature rich package required to fully exploit the advantages of the Wintech range of Contour Cutters. It is simple to use so that operators have a minimal learning curve, and yet has many features available to ensure that the software keeps pace with a business's many requirements.
