Rotary Knife Application Function Block
This function block makes it easy
to implement a full-featured
Rotary Knife application with
a minimum of programming.
Rotary Knives are used to cut,
emboss, print or apply other
processes to a moving web.
The knife axis, which has one
or more blades or dies equally
spaced around its circumference,
matches the web speed while
making a cut or impression. Since
the product length is seldom
equal to the circumference,
the knife must speed up or slow
down when the die is not in
contact with the web in order to
achieve the correct product
length.

G-Code to Motion Application Function Block
Applications such as gluing,
welding, pattern cutting,
gasket laying and textile
cutting often require continuous
path contoured motion of the
type most easily programmed
using G-code programming.
The OrmAppGcode function
block provides a simple way
to incorporate path following
in your application.
