Al T A OA ry I MEE ee J a A IRH a a Q O O i TI A o D 6 YN A o gt 4 A T A D The c axis is the rotational movement of the cutting blade The c axis is commanded by the CNC 6000 control so that the blade is always kept tangent to the cutting direction This is necessary so that cutting quality is maintained and tool life is kept at a maximum The cutting blade is fixed to the ultrasonic horn which in turn is attached to a pulley and rotary bearing This pulley is driven via a toothed belt by another pulley mounted to a servomotor encoder unit The p axis is the rotational movement of the inkjet printhead provided the inkjet printing option is purchased or the labeler stamping foot provided the labeler option is purchased During printing the inkjet must be positioned so that the slot in the printhead nozzle is perpendicular to the direction of printing or the labeler stamping foot must be positioned to place the label at the desired angle This positioning is directed by the CNC 6000 control through a servomotor encoder unit via a pulley and toothed belt The p axis is limited by software and hardware to the rotational range of 90 measured off of the posi
2. The x axis is the movement of the crossbeam along the length of the machine The crossbeam runs on linear bearings along hardened guideways mounted on a continuous support section The crossbeam is used to automatically dispense material onto the vacuum table and is able to park outside of the cutting area to allow for ease of manually unloading cut parts The guideways and racks are mounted along the side of the base frame which facilitates automatic material loading and manual unloading of material and keeps the operator from being injured or getting dirty The mechanism used to propel the crossbeam is a rack and pinion system on both ends of the gantry Each pinion is driven by separate servomotor encoder units which are electronically synchronized to each other MMI Operation and Machine Startup American GFM Corp 2 4 2 Y Axis The y ax
