Design of one Electrothermal Cutting Machine Used for Producing Packaging Material

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the problems of low precision, single-function of the plastic molding machine, a smaller electrothermal cutting machine is developed and designed, which is composed with processing platform, positioning clamp, resistance wire conjoined chuck, cantilever beam, fixed mounts, etc. Regulate the temperature of resistance wire to achieve the cutting of foam model with different melting point by adjusting voltmeter and regulating transformer; adjusting the rotatable positioning cones meshed with the adjusted range of positioning clamp and the adjustable distance between positioning clamp and resistance wire can make model with different requirements. The machine is mainly used in cutting and molding of plastic materials, such as foam and sponge, during the experimental teaching and advertising design. Results of the performance test show that using the machine with auxiliary manual operation is more convenient, efficient and accurate than the traditional making process of plastic model.
