RK PSC 320 PVC Shrink Sleeve Cutting Machine

The RK PSC 320 takes the seamed sleeve web off the glueing machine and cuts it to length, sleeve by sleeve, on the print mark. Finished sleeves land on a motorised conveyor and come off the end in a neat stack, ready to be counted, boxed or fed straight to an applicator. It cuts 15,000 to 18,000 strokes an hour on film widths up to 320 mm.

Length accuracy comes from two things working together. A servo motor pulls the web a set distance for every stroke, and a Panasonic print mark scanner reads the register mark and corrects the pull before the blade comes down. The scanner pulls that drift back on every sleeve, so a long run does not end with a creeping cut line.

The unwind takes rolls to ø700 mm on a cantilever mounted 3 inch air shaft, so one operator loads from the side. A static eliminator sits on the web path, because PVC film picks up charge and charged sleeves cling to each other instead of stacking.
