End Sense
This option allows the use of an electric eye to produce a cut
signal. Two types of electric eye brackets are included:
●
A bracket for cutting parts 3.5-24 inches long. This
bracket is mounted on the bushing holder, and uses a
photo eye positioned above the extrudate for easy setup,
alignment, and adjustment. NOTE: For this bracket and eye
mounting, the part must be rigid enough not to sag or flex
at the cut distance.
●
A bracket for cutting parts up to 10 feet long. This
bracket mounts on a discharge conveyor. The electric eye is
a through-beam type and can be adjusted to sense products
that are at least 0.100" high (height of piece above the con-
veyor).
Cutting torque upgrades
Several options can be used to increase the cutting torque:
●
CSC 3 cutters can be upgraded from a 2.46 HP
(MGE-455) to a 3.75 HP (MGE-490) servo motor. (The
larger servo motor is standard on SCE-4, 5 cutters.)
●
The standard aluminum cutter-head can be replaced
with a heavier stainless steel one. When this option is
picked, the maximum number of cuts per minute decreases.
However inertia, and thus cutting torque, is increased sig-
nificantly.
Follower Cutting Mode
Follower mode allows the operator to program the desired cut
length and the number of blades. The controller then automati-
cally follows the puller and adjusts the speed of the flywheel
to maintain cut length accuracy. This is known as an electron-
ic gearlock system. The cut length accuracy is maintained
even if the puller changes speed.
Auto Cutting Mode
Auto Cutting mode allows the operator to program the desired
cut length and the number of blades and desired blade speed.
The controller then automatically follows the encoder and
adjusts the speed of the cutter head to maintain cut length at
desired blade speed. This is known as an electronic gearlock
system. The cut length accuracy is maintained even if the
puller changes speed. A 3,000 pulse per revolution encoder is
used for this option with a Quadrature (x-4) mode, giving
12,000 pulses per foot for extreme accuracy and repeatability.
