Prepared Solution Servo PLC / ECSxA 1.1 EN 2-3
2.2.2 Typical motion profiles
Synchronous cross cutter
The following diagrams illustrate the position characteristic (red) and the speed signal (blue) for
three different cutting lengths in a cross-cutter application:
Concepts:
y
max
= Final value of the slave (cross-cutter knife) motion profile. This value will vary
depending on the number of knives on the cross-cutter drum.
For example: 1 knife => y
max
= 360°; 2 knives => y
max
= 180°
y
end
= Final value of the asynchronous motion phase and start of the synchronous motion
phase.
sync end

− =
max
y
sync
= Indicates the cutting angle. In this range the knife is synchronised with the line
speed.
t
asynchron
= During this time the cross-cutter knife can move out of synchronism with the line
speed.
t
synchron
= During this time the movement of the cross-cutter knife is synchronised with the line
speed.
t
cycle
= Duration of a cross-cutter revolution
t
