High-speed and accurate cutting for the medical sector

The range of machines built by Baruffaldi Plastic Technology-Primac has been enriched with the new TC.TVP/40 planetary cutter with built-in traction haul-off, for cutting and evacuating medical pipes directly from straight-line extrusion systems. The new cutter is intended for the processing of PP, PE and LDPE pipes in a production area defined as a 'clean area' as it is designed for medical companies.

The entire structure as well as the cutting and the operative system are designed for a working environment where the whole plant will operate at a temperature between +15°C and +35 C° with a moisture content between 35% and 60%.

The device has rotary knife cutting without material removal, with cutting precision of ±1mm/m at high process speed (20m/min).

The cutting system is equipped with vision sensors for precise point cutting points on the moving profile. The haul-off group, with two independent track speed pairs, provides for pipe compacting where necessary. Haul-off and cutting units are operated by four independent brushless motors for maximum flexibility of the system.
