The 575 Dual Drive Servo Shear mechanism is the latest generation of parallel shearing mechanisms developed for enhanced gob forming and for higher performances. The mechanism is designed for cutting speeds of 220 cuts per minute and higher. Two independent Linear motors allow for an optimal gob cut, minimizing the blade-to-glass contact time and giving the possibility of independent motion to each shear arm, resulting in better gob shapes, with minimal gob tilting due to the action of the shear blades. Linear motors and individual arm motion minimize drop guide disturbance to the gob drop and simplifying the setup for Multi Gob Application. The 575 Dual Drive Servo Shear allows independent control of shear arms:
- Motion time
- Stroke
- Center position
- Blade overlap
Features | Benefits |
