2.1.3 Properties and features of the core “flying saw” functions

The following properties and features were taken into account when

implementing the core functions, and can also be used in a user program

that you generate yourself:

• Precisely synchronizing at a specific position

The "flying" axis is accelerated to the velocity of the material web so

that this reaches this velocity above a position on the material that can

be specified.

• Flying axis

The "flying" axis and the material move at the same velocity while

sawing/cutting.

• The starting position of the "flying" axis can be set

The starting position of the "flying" axis between two cuts can be set

using a parameter at the core function.

• "Cutting" at a print mark

The synchronous position is detected using a measuring probe and

print mark.

• "Cutting" to length

The synchronous position is calculated from the distance that the

material has moved through.

• Immediate cut

A cut is initiated by an operator function independently of the distance

that the material has moved. (This function is only possible for "cut" to

length!)

• Creating a gap

After a cut has been made, the cutting unit additionally moves the cut

material in the direction in which the material is moving until a certain

distance is reached to the rest of the material. This distance can be

specified. The cutting unit only returns to its starting position after this

operation has been completed.

• Asymptotic synchronizing

The “flying” axis is accelerated to the velocity of the material web

without overshoot in velocity.

• Gearing Ratio

Ratio between measured and effective velocity of the material web.
