Automatic Slitting Machine Solution

01
Project Background

With the rapid development of modern manufacturing, especially in industries such as packaging, printing, new energy, and composite materials, the market demand for high-efficiency and high-precision web slitting is becoming increasingly urgent. Traditional slitting methods rely heavily on manual operations, with inherent drawbacks including low efficiency, poor slitting precision, severe material waste, and difficulty in ensuring consistency. These issues have become bottlenecks restricting downstream enterprises from improving product quality and production efficiency.
In the field of lithium battery manufacturing, the slitting quality of pole pieces after coating is directly related to the safety performance and energy density of batteries. In the field of high-end film packaging, the flatness and cleanliness of slitting directly affect the operating efficiency of subsequent high-speed filling lines and product appearance. In the fields of textiles, non-woven fabrics, and composite materials, precise control of slitting tension is the key to ensuring web neatness and preventing deformation. All these application scenarios have put forward unprecedented high requirements for the automation, intelligence, and precision of slitting equipment.
The automatic slitting machine project emerges against this background. The project aims to develop an intelligent equipment integrating automatic unwinding, tension control, high-precision slitting, automatic winding, and online detection. By adopting advanced servo drive systems, high-precision motion controllers, and closed-loop tension control algorithms, it realizes high-speed and precise slitting of various thin webs with fixed length and width. The successful implementation of this project will effectively help downstream enterprises reduce reliance on labor, significantly improve material utilization and production efficiency, and ensure the consistency of product slitting quality. It is a key link to promote technological upgrading, cost reduction and efficiency improvement of related industries, and enhance their core competitiveness.

Efficient and Reliable Professional Solution

This solution adopts a hierarchical system architecture design: at the information layer, the FATEK P5 series touch screen is configured as the core of human-machine interaction, providing intuitive equipment operation, real-time status monitoring and comprehensive production data management functions; at the control layer, the FATEK M series PLC is used as the central processing unit, and through the integration of ten-axis bus control capability, it realizes precise coordination and centralized command of the logic and movement of each link in the slitting process; at the execution layer, the FATEK SC3 series servo systems are fully selected and equipped with absolute encoders to ensure that each motion axis can achieve precise positioning and rapid response under closed-loop control. This three-level architecture realizes seamless connection and data interaction through a high-speed industrial bus, jointly forming an intelligent control platform with fast response, precise control and stable operation. It ensures from the system level that the automatic slitting machine can still obtain high-quality slitting results and stable long-term performance under high-speed operation conditions.

FATEK Makes You Stand Out

► EtherCAT Bus Control
The system adopts EtherCAT bus technology to precisely control 10-axis servo drives, achieving multi-axis coordinated operation and high-precision motion control。

► Flexible Production
It can automatically adjust the cutter position according to product parameters, quickly adapting to the slitting needs of products with different specifications。

► Synchronous Control
Using the built-in high-speed counting function of FATEK PLC, real-time feedback via encoder enables precise synchronous control of the circular knife, traction axis and feeding belt, significantly reducing manual adjustment intervention。

► Unequal Width Slitting Mode
It supports simultaneous production of products with different widths in a single slitting process, breaking the width limitation of the traditional single-sheet mode, effectively improving material utilization and reducing material waste in specific production modes。
