Below, you will find an in-depth exploration of its unique features, operational mechanics, advantages, and practical applications, designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of why this machine is a smart investment for enhancing your cutting operations.

Unique Hydraulic Pressure System: The Core of Efficient Cutting

At the heart of the TH-228 lies a unique hydraulic pressure system that is engineered for optimal cutting force with exceptional control. Unlike traditional mechanical presses that rely on brute force and complex gear trains, this machine uses hydraulic fluid pressure to deliver consistent, powerful, and smooth cutting strokes.

This hydraulic system provides several distinct advantages:

• Precise Pressure Control: The hydraulic pressure can be finely tuned to match the specific requirements of various materials and cutting dies, ensuring perfect cuts without material damage.

• Consistent Cutting Force: Hydraulic pressure remains steady throughout each cycle, eliminating the fluctuations common in mechanical systems that can cause inconsistent cuts or premature die wear.

• Powerful Yet Smooth Operation: The system balances strength and gentleness, allowing the machine to cut through tough materials while maintaining surface integrity and reducing waste.

By integrating this unique hydraulic pressure technology, the TH-228 achieves cutting performance that is both powerful and refined, suitable for a wide variety of industrial cutting applications.

Very High Speed for Increased Productivity

Speed is a decisive factor in manufacturing efficiency. The TH-228 is designed for very high-speed operation, enabling rapid cutting cycles without compromising precision.

Thanks to its advanced hydraulic system combined with the innovative swing arm mechanism, the machine can perform quick, repetitive cuts with minimal downtime between strokes. This translates into:

• Higher output per hour, meeting or exceeding demanding production targets.

• Reduced bottlenecks in cutting stages, helping smooth workflow transitions.

• Faster response to urgent orders or batch changes, increasing manufacturing agility.

High-speed cutting reduces labor costs and overall production time, giving users a competitive edge in markets where turnaround time is critical.

Low Noise Operation for a Healthier Workplace

Noise pollution is a common challenge in industrial environments, often contributing to operator fatigue and potential hearing damage. The TH-228 addresses this with low noise operation, a feature that enhances workplace comfort and safety.

The hydraulic swing arm cutting machine operates with minimal mechanical clatter or vibrations, thanks to:

• The hydraulic cushioning effect absorbs shock during cutting strokes.

• Smooth, balanced movement of the swing arm, reducing mechanical impact sounds.

• Noise-dampening materials are integrated into the machine frame and housing.

Operators benefit from a quieter work environment, which improves concentration and reduces stress. Moreover, low noise emissions help companies comply with occupational health regulations and contribute to overall employee well-being.

Very Low Oil Temperature for Reliability and Longevity

Hydraulic systems typically generate heat during operation, which can degrade oil quality and damage machine components if not properly managed. The TH-228 is designed to maintain very low oil temperature even during prolonged high-speed cycles.

This is achieved through:

• An efficient hydraulic circuit design that minimizes friction and heat generation.

• Integrated oil cooling mechanisms that dissipate heat quickly.

• Use of high-quality hydraulic fluids with excellent thermal stability.

Maintaining a low oil temperature extends the service life of both the hydraulic fluid and critical machine parts, reducing maintenance intervals and preventing unexpected downtime. It also improves the machine's overall reliability, making it ideal for continuous production environments.

Hand Switch Operation and Serviceability

Ease of operation and maintenance are central to the TH-228's design philosophy. The machine features a hand-operated switch that allows the operator to start and stop the cutting cycle conveniently and safely.

Key benefits include:

• Simple control interface: The hand switch is ergonomically placed for easy access without disrupting workflow.

• Enhanced operator control: Manual switching ensures the operator can closely monitor each cut for quality assurance.

• Safe and deliberate operation: The cutting cycle only initiates upon hand activation, reducing the risk of accidental starts.

In addition to ease of operation, the TH-228 is highly serviceable. Components are accessible for routine inspection and maintenance, with modular parts designed for quick replacement. This minimizes machine downtime and simplifies upkeep.

Power Saving Design with Electrical Protection System

Energy efficiency is a major consideration for modern manufacturing equipment. The TH-228 excels in this regard with its low electrical power consumption of just 0.75 kW, significantly lower than many comparable machines.

This efficiency stems from:

• The optimized hydraulic pump and motor system delivers necessary power without excess energy waste.

• Intelligent electrical design that matches power supply to operational needs.

• The integration of an electrical protection system that safeguards the motor and electrical components from overload, short circuits, and voltage fluctuations.

The electrical protection system not only prevents damage but also improves operational safety and prolongs machine life. Reduced energy consumption translates into lower utility bills and a smaller environmental footprint, supporting corporate sustainability goals.

Labor Saving Through Easy Swing Arm Operation

The TH-228’s swing arm design is a standout feature that greatly reduces operator effort and labor intensity.

Benefits of the swing arm mechanism include:

• Effortless operation: The arm’s balanced construction and smooth pivot motion allow even heavy cutting strokes to be performed with minimal manual force.

• Safe handling: The swing arm keeps the operator's hands clear of the cutting area, reducing the risk of injury.

• Fast operation: Quick arm movement enables rapid repositioning and cutting cycles, increasing throughput.

• Low breakdown rates: Durable, well-engineered joints and hydraulic systems minimize mechanical failures and maintenance needs.

This combination of easy handling and reliable performance saves labor costs and enhances workplace safety, making the TH-228 ideal for high-volume production lines and workshops.

Two Cutting Styles with Adjustable Cutting Stroke for Precision

Precision and flexibility are paramount in material cutting. The TH-228 enables users to set the cutting stroke through two distinct cutting styles, providing adaptability to a wide variety of cutting needs.

The two cutting styles typically include:

• Full cut: The blade completely penetrates the material, suitable for thick or multilayer cutting.

• Half cut: The blade partially penetrates, useful for labels, decals, or layered products where only partial cutting is required.

Operators can adjust the stroke length and pressure with ease, ensuring:

• Accurate cuts tailored to specific materials and product designs.

• Reduced wear on dies by avoiding excessive force.

• Minimization of material waste and product defects.

This flexible cutting stroke setting, combined with the hydraulic precision, ensures the TH-228 consistently produces high-quality results with minimal operator intervention.
