Linear flying cams are used in a variety of applications ranging from cutting material on-the-fly, to filling bottles as they are fed on a conveyor, to forming soft material in a mold while being transferred along the process. This particular overview describes the flying shear (cutting) application, but can be used for any process that requires speed matching to a given axis.
Linear flying cam applications can be used to solve both random in-feed and constant feed applications. This application controls the linear axis of the saw to ensure accurate cutting as well as a digital output for providing management of the cutting mechanism.
