Auto Positioning Robot Band Cutter | Packway, Shenzhen, China

Packway's Auto Positioning Robot Band Cutter removes strapping bands from steel coils automatically. A robot arm carries a cutting head to the coil, locates the band, cuts it and places the waste band in a collection unit, so no one has to cut bands by hand.

The system scans for the band position and decides whether to cut, so it avoids cutting at the band joint. Optional functions add label scanning, coil tail-end detection and coil width detection.

Key Features

• Scans the band position automatically and cuts without manual guidance
• Judges whether a cut should be made and avoids the band joint
• Cutting head mounted on the flange of the robot's 6th axis, with a cutter, scraper and clamp
• Scraper lifts and clamps the band while the cutter cuts it

Frequently Asked Questions

• How does the robot cut the band? The robot detects the coil head and band, presses the head against the coil, a scraper scoops and clamps the band, and the cutter cuts it.
• What happens to the band after cutting? The robot moves it to a waste band collecting device that positions, winds, clamps and compacts it.
• Does it avoid the band joint? Yes. It scans the band position and judges whether to cut, so it avoids cutting at the joint.
• What should I send for a quotation? Send the coil dimensions and weight range, band type and size, number of bands per coil, coil handling layout, whether you need the optional label scanning, tail-end or width detection, and your preferred robot brand.
