The driving mechanism for the knife is shown in Figure 4. Hydraulic Double-acting
Cylinder/Actuator (1) is fixed on the Knuckle (2). Piston Rod (3) is connected with the Levers
(4), which are connected with Connecting Rod (5), which pull Knife Beam (6) together with the
knife.
The Knife Beam (6) moves between the Slide Ways (7 and 8), in perpendicular plane to the
work table's plane. Inclination of the slide ways at different angles allows inclination of
the knife bottom edge at the same angle, when the knife moves down. It decreases the
force required for cutting, improving cutting accuracy.
The knife is guided that in the bottom position the blade is parallel to the cutting stick
and penetrates it up to 0.5 mm depth. Admission of the cylinder with the entry V1
causes the Piston Rod (3) to move and through the Lever (4), Knife Beam (6) lowers
After cutting material, admission of the cylinder with the entry V2 causes
the Piston Rod (3) to return as Knife Beam (6) raises and stops in the top position.
