Fully automatic cutting machine application scheme

Mar 03,2025

The cutting machine is one of the indispensable pieces of equipment in the light industry. Its main function is to utilize a shaped die to obtain the required sheets or semi-finished products through a punching action. It is suitable for processing various flexible sheet materials such as leather, cloth, textiles, plastics, rubber, cardboard, felt, asbestos, glass fiber, cork, and other synthetic materials.

　　Cutting machines are indispensable equipment in the light industry. Their main function is to use shaped dies to obtain the required sheets or semi-finished products through punching, suitable for processing various flexible sheet materials such as leather, cloth, textiles, plastics, rubber, cardboard, felt, asbestos, glass fiber, cork, and other synthetic materials.

　　Process Analysis

　　Based on traditional hydraulic cutting machines, the fully automatic cutting machine adds an automatic feeding function. By setting parameters such as cutting distance, feeding speed, cutting speed, and cutting depth via the HMI, the PLC centrally controls various solenoid valves and servo drivers in the equipment, thus achieving automatic feeding, die ejection, and punching. Reciprocating motion can be performed during feeding to complete the fully automatic processing of the product.

　　Scheme Design

　　The fully automatic cutting machine's electrical control scheme uses a full set of industrial control products from one supplier, with the EP1S series PLC as the core for signal acquisition and control, the CA100 servo driver as the feeding mechanism actuator, and the EM2 series HMI for human-machine interaction, achieving fully automatic cutting functionality from automatic feeding to cutting processing.

　　The feeding distance, feeding speed, cutting distance, and cutting depth are set via the touch screen. The data is then transmitted to the PLC via Modbus communication. The PLC then issues pulse instructions to control the servo driver, thereby controlling the movement of the feeding servo motor. The movement of the cutting die is also controlled by the PLC output controlling the solenoid valve and then the oil pump motor.

　　Human-Machine Interface Design

　　The HMI's working interface is mainly controlled in manual mode, including push plate feeding, push plate retraction, control of the material fixing frame, and the origin return function. The left side of the interface monitors the machine's running status, the number of cuts, and the mode selection function.

　　The parameter setting interface in the HMI is mainly used to set parameters such as feeding distance, speed, cutting depth, and feeding distance in the two modes.

　　The status monitoring interface in the HMI can monitor in real time the corresponding limit switches, button input signals, and the output signals of various solenoid valves in the machine as processed by the PLC
