Wide Roving Cutter (WRC)
Wide roving cutters can be used standing vertically of suspended, depending on the specific application purpose. As movable version for SMC lines they reduce the set-up time enormously when changing blades or chancing the cutting length. Various expansion options such as ionisation , piker rollers, scrapers and a blow out device for the blade and counter roll, as well as many other options, enable individual adaption to customer requirements.
Technical data
- Working width: 300 mm – 4.500 mm
- Cutter speed: Depending on working width up 300 1/min
- Roving size: Up to 4.800 tex
- Cutting length: 1/2” up tp 2“ (standard) 1/6" and 1/4" (special)
Your benefits with the Wide Roving Cutter
Precise rotation speed monitoring and control for flexible production
Less wear of the pressure roller thanks to a cut-resistant plastic coating that can be reworked
Low costs for wear parts, as a side traverse unit ensures an equable wear of blades and pressure roller
Precise and smooth running thanks to Schmidt & Heinzmann cutting roller technology
Indestructible design with lowest maintenance effort
Wide range on options for most versatile applications
Processable fiber materials: Brittle fibers such as glass, basalt, carbon and others
FiDoCut - Fiber Dosing & Cutting System
The cutting technique is based on the well-known functional principle of scissors: Continuous fibers are drawn in by means of a feed unit and fed to the fiber cutting system by means of an air flow system. The air flow system keeps the fibers under tension between the feeding and cutting unit. In combination with a rotating knife and stationary counter knives, this enables a pulling cut and therefore a continuous cutting process. A fiber chute ensures a defined spreading bed.
Technical data
- Cutter speed: Bis zu 12.000 1/min
- Roving size: Up to 4.800 tex
- Cutting length: Von 1 bis 200 mm (or longer)
Your benefits with FiDoCut
Different fiber materials can be cut simultaneously
Chance of the cutting length during the cutting process – on the fly
Fiber Materials: Glass, basalt, carbon, kevlar, aramid, natural, chemical, hybrid, thermoplastic, metal fibers and others
A fiber orientation unit enables dry fibers to be placed precisely – even in different lengths
