Why Choose CNC Oscillating Knife Cutting Machine?

Advantages of CNC Oscillating Knife Cutting Machine

High precision: Multi-spindle motor saves tool time and can realize mass production.

This advanced tool performs much faster, cutting 5 to 8 times faster. Whether you're cutting composites, canvas, laminates, textiles, CNC cutting machines deliver unprecedented speed, consistency and reliability.

This type of machine is widely used in clothing industry, shoemaking industry, clothing fashion fabric industry, automotive interior industry, luggage industry, packaging industry, decoration industry, electronics industry, composite material industry, etc.

The automatic capabilities of machines reduce the labor and time required to perform tasks. It also improves efficiency and simplifies tasks that used to run in a random fashion.

Environmentally friendly: Unlike CNC laser machines and milling machines, CNC knife cutting machines are environmentally friendly.

It does not diffuse harmful fumes or transfer heat as it cuts materials, unlike other tools that use rotary tools, laser heat, or water jets to cut materials. Therefore, CNC tools can be used safely in different environments and are easy to maintain.

Digital cutting machines operate according to digitally programmed tool paths. It can move only the knife and stick the material to the machine or move both the knife and the material to cut the material.

Optional multi-tool

Multifunctional cutting head design, multiple sets of highly integrated processing tools, can be used as a work unit for interactive cutting, punching, and marking operations.

Disadvantages of CNC vibrating knife cutting machine

Not suitable for hard materials: Only suitable for soft to semi-hard materials, CNC knife cutting machines cannot process heavy materials.

Cutting low-ductility and high-toughness materials means compromising the smoothness of the oscillating blade.

If you want to cut or carve wood, stone or metal, you can choose other machines. Such as CNC woodworking engraving machine, CNC stone engraving machine, plasma cutting machine, fiber laser cutting machine and other machines to meet your needs. But we do not produce these types of products, you can search for other manufacturers!

How to choose a suitable oscillating knife cutting machine?

The vibrating knife automatic cutting machine is mainly aimed at cutting non-metallic materials. The materials involved include leather materials, fur materials, clothing fabrics, sofa home textile fabrics, composite materials, carpets, floor mat materials, gaskets, automotive interior parts, etc.

When choosing an oscillating knife cutter, first check to see if your material can be cut. If you are not sure, you can ask the manufacturer.

Choose a Quality Oscillating Knife Cutter

1) Cutting edge fillet size

2) Whether there is slag on the cut surface

3) Verticality and inclination of the cutting edge

4) Whether the cutting speed is ideal: In the cutting process, the cutting speed has a considerable influence on the cutting performance. The quality of the cutting material. The ideal cutting speed will make the cutting surface present a relatively stable line, and there will be no slag inclusion in the lower part of the material.

5) Whether the material surface is smooth and flat after cutting: the selected saw blade is not suitable. Different sizes of aluminum profiles require different sizes of saw blades for cutting. Generally, attention should be paid to the thickness and number of teeth of the saw blade.

6) Whether there are burrs in the cutting: the irregular parts such as sharp corners and burrs that sometimes appear at the transition of the workpiece surface during the cutting process are burrs. Burrs directly affect the dimensional accuracy, shape and position accuracy, and surface roughness of the processed workpiece.

7) Check whether the equipment is complete: After the equipment arrives, when unpacking and accepting, check whether the random technical information is complete, and whether the random accessories, tools, and accessories are consistent with the list

How to maintain the CNC vibrating knife cutting machine?

Oscillating knife cutting machines are now more and more widely used in the processing of flexible materials, but no matter what kind of machine there will be various problems in long-term use, we need to maintain the machine in daily use to prolong the use of the machine life. machine. So how to maintain and maintain the vibrating knife cutting machine?

1. The rotating parts of the cutter head should be inspected regularly or irregularly, and the wearing parts should be monitored in real time and replaced regularly.

2. The machine should be thoroughly cleaned every week. The horizontal and vertical guide rails and the transmission gear and rack should be cleaned and filled with lubricating oil.

3. Check whether the horizontal and vertical cutting heads are working normally. If there is any abnormality, find out the reason in time. If you can't solve it by yourself, you must contact a professional technician.

4. Check whether all the knives are loose, clean up the garbage on the knives, and keep the rotary knives in a normal position.

5. For the automatic height adjustment device, check whether it is sensitive, and tighten the cutter head several times before cutting to make the air pressure more stable.

6. Check whether the knife belt is too long or too short, and judge whether the distance between the two ends of the damper is the same. If the knife belt is too long or too short, it is not conducive to normal cutting work.

7. Dust must be checked and removed every working day, the dirt on the machine tool and guide rails should be cleaned, the bed should be kept clean, maintenance must be in place, the air source and power supply must be turned off when off work, and the remaining air in the box must be emptied. Machine tool belt at the same time.

8. If you leave the machine for a long time, you should turn off the power to prevent illegal operation by non-professionals.
