The application SIMOTION Rotary Knife was developed with the objective to address many of the known cross cutter applications using just one application software. When required, the application can be configured or also changed as a result of openness. Using the SIMOTION control platform the application SIMOTION Rotary Knife allows to realize cross cutters to be implemented for the widest range of applications, e.g. foil, film, paper, currogated etc. Works in combination with: SIMOTION Line Axis

Description
Effective circumference of the rotary knife (circle circumference) Start angle of the knife referred to 0 Reverse position (inflection point) of the cyclic cam referred to the length of the format range Stop angle of the knife referred to 0 Start point of the synchronous range referred to 0. From this position onwards, the cutting knife must move in synchronism with the material to be cut. End point of the synchronous range referred to 0. From this point onwards, the knife no longer has to move in synchronism with the material to be cut, and depending on the requirement, can be accelerated or decelerated to adapt the format Number of knives distributed around the circumference.

Description
FBRotaryKnife has detected a fault and has brought the rotary knife axis into a safe state. The fault is still present and can be evaluated by the user. The rotating knife has been stopped and is in the DISABLE mode. . FBRotaryKnife is ready for use, but is still in the safe operating state. All of the pending faults have been successfully acknowledged. The rotating knife is in the state after a reset, deactivated and stopped The rotating knife is moving or is already located at the START POSITION and is ready to be synchronized to the material web. The axis waits in the START POSITION operating mode The rotating knife has been synchronized to the material web and is cutting the material according to the specifications The rotating knife is the manual mode; the user can manually move the axis. The axis waits in the MANUAL operating mode.
