Heat cutter assembly with actuator on the left, almost complete

This device is fairly simple. Long stroke actuator brings the cutter along the linear guide rail to desired location and retracts it as needed. Small stroke actuator operates scissor like mechanics which will open and close cutter jaws. Cutting blades can be easily changed and mechanical stopper easily adjusted according to the new blades. Both heat elements provide required heat for the operation and both temperature sensors can be used for monitoring temperature in both cutters.

This heat cutter assembly can be used for:

• De-burring plastic components
• Cutting plastic components
• Cutting plastic ropes thus heat treating ends at the same time
• By modifying blades even for heat element welding (HEW)

Key parts used in this assembly:

• 1x Univer W1000200005 (actuator with 5mm stroke and 20mm piston diameter)
• 2x 400Ohm heat elements
• 2x Temperature sensors
• 1x IKO LWHT 15 roller guide
• 1x 180mm steel linear guide rail
• 1x 250x81x11mm steel base plate with 4x M8 mounting holes
• 1x SMC elbow type flow controllers
