Cutting length accuracy issue
Most silicone extrusion customers are seeking a perfect silicone tube cutter solution . they resort to the regular rotary cutting machine in the market only to find out the cuttting length tolerance is growing obvious when their cutting length of silicone tube set longer than 300 mm . the major reason is that the silicone material is elastic material and it had very small contact with rubber rollers so the silicone tubes slips during the tranport cutting process and thus caused the big cutting length difference especially when the cutting length is above 300mm ,so an accurate length silicone tube cutting machine is called for in the market .
Besides, the roller cutting had limits for cutting silicone cords above 10 mm the OD , because the silicone cords is solid material and the roller distance is limited to alllow the pass of silicone cords ,it will be necessary to open groove on the rubber roller which is troublesome .
We would like to introduce customers with the precise length silicone sponges cutting machine ES-009 which it applies with double transport design ,
The main advantage of the double transport bands design is that it secures precision transportation and precise length cutting backed up by strong high power motor .
Contrary to the traditional rolling method (positive roller to lead negative roller),
The double tranport bands had very large contact area with the cutting material and both rollers is positive , this performance gurantees cutting length precision.
2, The transport bands design can reduce the distortion of the cutting material caused by roller pressing when transported by the traditional rollers. meanwhile ,the distance of the two transport bands can be adjusted to let the machine become suitable to cut different size silicone tubes or silicone cords ,silicone sponge cords . so the machine is also called silicone tubing cutter, silicone cords cutting machine ,silicone sponge cutter .

An extra feeder can be provided with the silicone tube cutter machine to make sure a smooth cutting material transportation , the feeder is made up of a holder with a transport motor and a sensor , the senser will feel any upwards pulling force from the silicone tubes and signal to the transport motor to release more cutting material . the silicone tube will avoid tension during transporting process and remain loose all the time and further gurantees cutting length precision.

Vertical straight cross section cutting
To ensure a 90 degree vertical straight cross section cutting of silicone tubing & cords , we will place a fixture mold right downside the knife to fix the silicone tube or cords for straigth cross section cutting .
It is advisable to make the cavities 0.2-0.3mm more than than silicone tubing&cords &silicone sponges sizes for the smooth travel of cutting material across it.
normally the arrow pointed area is ok to hold the silicone tube&cords&silicone sponges steady for a vertical straight cutting
Customer is welcome to share with us the OD mm sizes of some of your typical or regular silicone tube&cord &silicone sponges .
We will make mold fixtures around the knife to ensure a more nice cutting edge of 90 degree vertical straight cross section.
