Rotary Cutter - RS Type

RS Type

Field of application

Tube Production

The Schöler Rotary Cutters enable you to cut profiles with minimum cutting tolerances at the highest cutting frequency.

 

All Rotary Cutters work on the principle of a rotating cutter blade which cuts the profile at an exactly defined point in time. The implemented electronics solution ensures high and exact cutting performance by means of direct control using a specially developed control algorithm.

The Rotary Cutters generally work according to two functional principles:

The RS 100 - Series – the smallest version – works in intermittent mode. The cutter arm which is powered by a servo motor is merely rotated to perform the cut. For the remaining time the arm is on standby.

For the RS 200 and RS 300 series the rotary movement of the cutter arm is effected in continuous mode on account of the high profile speeds and the increased cutting frequencies.
