With the development of industrial automation, digital cutting machines have been widely used in various industries. As the core cutting component, the performance and application of blades directly affect the cutting quality and production efficiency. This article will explore the application and selection points of digital cutting machine blades from different fields.
Main applications of digital cutting machine blades
Leather and textile industry
In the processing of soft materials such as leather and cloth, the cutting machine blades must have the characteristics of high sharpness, not easy to pull materials, and strong wear resistance. For example:
Oscillating Knife is suitable for cutting various natural leather, synthetic leather and cloth to ensure smooth edges without burrs.
Rotary Blade is more suitable for cutting soft and easily deformed textile materials, such as non-woven fabrics, wool felt, etc., to improve cutting accuracy.
Packaging and printing industry
Digital cutting machine blades are widely used in the cutting of packaging materials such as cardboard, corrugated paper, plastic film, etc., and the following blades are mainly used:
Drag Knife: Suitable for cutting single-layer or double-layer cardboard, with fast cutting speed and high precision.
V-Cut Blade: Used to make folding packaging structures, such as display racks, folding boxes, etc., to make the creases clearer and less prone to breakage.
1.3 Composite materials and carbon fiber processing
Composite materials such as glass fiber, carbon fiber, honeycomb structure materials, etc. have extremely high requirements for blade wear resistance. Tungsten steel blades or ceramic blades are usually used to extend the service life and reduce the frequency of tool replacement.
Tungsten Carbide Blade: Suitable for cutting high-strength composite materials, wear-resistant, and suitable for long-term production.
Water-cooled Blade can reduce the temperature rise during cutting and avoid material damage due to high temperature.
Rubber and Foam Industry
Cutting machine blades also play an important role in the processing of rubber seals, EVA foam, sponge and other materials.
Straight Blade: Suitable for thicker foam to ensure a smooth cutting section.
Serrated Blade: Used for cutting highly elastic materials, it can reduce material tensile deformation and improve cutting efficiency.
Key factors for choosing the right blade
In practical applications, the following factors need to be considered when choosing the right digital cutting machine blade:
Material
High-speed steel (HSS): suitable for ordinary cardboard, leather and other materials, with moderate price.
Tungsten Carbide: used for high-hardness materials, wear-resistant and long service life.
Ceramic: suitable for high-precision cutting, reducing friction and heat generation, and improving cutting quality.
Blade angle
The cutting angle of the blade directly affects the cutting accuracy and material edge quality. Common angles are:
30°- 45°: suitable for soft materials such as foam and leather.
60° - 90°: suitable for hard materials such as carbon fiber and PVC sheets.
2.3 Blade compatibility
Different brands of digital cutting machines have different installation methods and specifications for blades. When purchasing, you need to ensure that the blade is compatible with the equipment to avoid affecting the cutting effect.
Digital cutting machine blades play a vital role in industrial production. Reasonable selection of blades can not only improve production efficiency, but also reduce operating costs. Whether it is leather, packaging, composite materials or foam cutting, choosing the right blade can achieve accurate, efficient and durable cutting results. In practical applications, it is recommended to choose according to material characteristics, cutting requirements and equipment compatibility to obtain the best cutting performance.
