Precision Die Cutter for Thermal Break Strips | POLYWELL Cutting Machines

The cutting machine is a vital component in the downstream section of an extrusion line, responsible for transforming the continuous thermal break strip into precise, manageable lengths ready for packaging and shipment. Our supplied cutting machines typically employ a flying cut off principle, where the cutting mechanism—whether a saw or a shear—synchronizes its speed with the moving profile for a clean, square cut without interrupting the continuous extrusion process. This is achieved through a sophisticated servo driven system that accurately tracks the strip's velocity. The cutting length is programmable via the central PLC, allowing for quick changeovers between different order specifications and maximizing material yield by minimizing waste. The precision of this operation is non negotiable; a burr free, perfectly perpendicular cut is essential for ensuring that the strips butt together seamlessly when joined in long aluminum profiles, preventing any gaps that could compromise the integrity of the thermal barrier. The machine's robustness is also critical, as it must operate reliably at high speeds, matching the output of the extruder to avoid becoming a production bottleneck. By providing this equipment as part of our integrated Polywell line, we ensure that the high quality established in the extrusion phase is maintained through to the final product, delivering ready to use strips that facilitate efficient assembly for our clients.
