CORE FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES

Powerful Travelling Head Cutting System

The HTW-588/11 is equipped with a 30-ton hydraulic cutting force, enabling it to cleanly and effortlessly cut through a wide variety of materials such as leather, synthetic materials, foam, textiles, rubber, plastic sheets, and more. The travelling head mechanism offers consistent cutting performance across the entire cutting area, regardless of the complexity or hardness of the material. Its traveling head design enables operators to use different cutting dies and easily reposition the head along the cutting bed, maximizing the use of the material sheet and improving overall material yield. This is particularly valuable in industries where minimizing waste translates to significant cost savings.

Sensor-Guided Precision for Enhanced Accuracy

A key highlight of the HTW-588/11 is its integration with high-sensitivity sensors that ensure unparalleled cutting accuracy and repeatability. These sensors detect material thickness and adjust the pressure and position of the die head accordingly. This adaptive feature guarantees a uniform cut on every press, even when working with multilayered or uneven materials. By integrating sensors directly into the motion control system, the press minimizes operator error, ensuring product consistency from the first cut to the last. This sensor-controlled operation contributes to the reduction of scrap rate, enabling significant material savings over long production runs.

Intelligent Hydraulic System for Optimal Performance

The HTW-588/11 is powered by a high-efficiency hydraulic circuit that delivers stable and powerful pressing force with minimal energy consumption. The hydraulic system is engineered to ensure quiet operation, fast response time, and prolonged machine life through precision control of oil flow and pressure. With automatic pressure regulation, the system adapts to different material densities and thicknesses, eliminating the need for manual recalibration between tasks. This not only reduces machine downtime but also contributes to consistent cutting quality, enhancing overall production reliability.

Save Time with Quick Die Setting

One of the standout productivity features of the HTW-588/11 is its rapid die setting mechanism, which significantly reduces the time required to change or adjust dies. This is a key advantage for factories handling diverse product lines or frequent order changes. Operators can quickly mount, align, and lock the die into place with minimal effort, thanks to the machine’s ergonomic head design and precision-guided die holder. This time-saving feature improves the machine’s overall uptime, allowing for faster turnarounds and improved production schedules.

Save Labor with Semi-Automated Operation

The HTW-588/11 integrates semi-automated features that reduce the burden on operators and cut down labor costs. By leveraging smart sensors and programmable cut depth settings, operators can focus more on managing workflow rather than manual positioning and adjustment. This semi-automation capability is particularly valuable in high-volume production settings, where labor efficiency directly impacts profitability. The machine supports single-operator functionality, which is ideal for small and medium enterprises seeking to maximize productivity without increasing headcount.

Save Material with Intelligent Layout

Thanks to its precision movement system and evenly distributed cutting pressure, the HTW-588/11 allows users to optimize material layouts and reduce off-cuts. The travelling head’s flexibility means it can reach all areas of the cutting table, enabling tight nesting of die shapes to fully utilize every inch of material. Combined with optional software or visual guide systems, factories can pre-plan layouts and minimize material wastage, which results in measurable cost savings over time.

Fully Intelligent Operation and Optional IOT Connectivity

In line with Industry 4.0 standards, the HTW-588/11 can be optionally equipped with IOT networking modules, allowing real-time data tracking, maintenance alerts, and remote diagnostics. The press can be integrated with factory ERP systems or MES platforms to enhance visibility and control across production lines. Operators and supervisors can track machine performance, monitor cutting accuracy, receive preventative maintenance notifications, and ensure uptime through centralized dashboards. These intelligent features pave the way for predictive maintenance and smarter production planning. The machine also includes fully memorized die-cutting programs, allowing for instant recall of parameters related to different products or materials. This eliminates trial-and-error setups and enables instant switching between production runs, which is vital in environments where flexibility is key.
