CNC Automatic Traveling Head Hydraulic Die Cutting Press
Freeman Schwabe introduces new Controls Software technology on the Automatic NC Traveling Head which delivers optimal nesting set up of dies and parts.
The nesting controls program allows
- software set up directly at the machine press, without the need of additional computer
- up to 4 Dies to be set up, and nested inside each other
- set up to provide optimal cut pattern and material yield
The video below provides an overview of the Automatic NC Traveling Head explaining:
- how to set up of a new nesting material program
- how to automatically set up the new optimal die positions
- how to measure and minimize scrap material
- how to achieve optimal material yield
- how to monitor batch times and shift production efficiencies
Automatic Traveling Head Hydraulic Cutting Press - Model NC 50
Computer Controlled with Clamp/Cutting Belt Feed System & Nesting Capabilities

Cutting Speed - 11.9" per second
Head Rotation - 360 degree head rotation controlled by servo drive, positional accuracy of +/- 0 deg X-Y Axis Travel - Automatic, servo drive ball screw positioning system, accuracy to ±0.004", one for head traverse and one for feed. (accuracy does not account for material inaccuracies). Includes acceleration and deceleration ramps for smooth and consistent accuracy. Panel & Box - NEMA-compliant free standing electrical control enclosure which is Mitsubishi PLC and PC based, incorporates all the controls for the press, including those for set-up/manual operation, as well as those for automatic operation. |
Programming
Set-Up - Press is capable of cutting one (1) row for set-up purposes. Continuous Cutting - Head moves automatically pre-determined distance to the next cutting position. Cutting stroke is then automatically initiated, and this cycle repeats itself on a continuous basis, with a feed cycle at the end of each row. Nesting - Equipped with complex nesting software for increasing yield on material. Capable to load from a Jump Drive or through serial port connection. Punch Press - Machine is capable of running in a punch press mode whereby the head remains stationary. Press Shutdown - Mushroom type shut-off buttons located on control panel and various easily accessible points on the machine Stroke Counter - Includes shut-down function, accessed through touch screen PC. |
Remote Ethernet-based Connectivity
Allows for remote connectivity to the Press for programming chance, diagnostic support and trouble-shooting.
Includes Web Camera with 20' lead cord for direct communication with Freeman Schwabe Customer Service.
In feed & Out feed - Extruded profile aluminum framework with clear Lexan access panels and electrical interlocks on front and rear of press.

Type shown in photos is a continuous Chiorino Nylon Belt Conveyor traveling through press, utilized as a material carrier and cutting surface, transported by a rear-mounted motor combined with a clamp feed unit.
Pneumatic Clamp Feed mounted on rear of press (infeed side) set to operate automatically in conjunction with cutting cycle.
Clamp Feed complete with one (1) movable clamp beam and one (1) fixed clamp beam, for max feeding distance of 59.1" roll material in one movement.

Quick Belt Change
Side loading belt change over.Press is designed to be split so the belt simply slides on for a quick change over.
Nesting Software Automatic CNC 3-Axis Traveling Head Press
a) The Automatic CNC 3-Axis Traveling Head Press nesting controls program allows you to operate the software directly at the machine press, without the need of additional computer (or the need to purchase any additional nesting software or digitizers)
b) The new Automatic CNC 3-Axis Traveling Head Press nesting program enables up to 4 Dies to be set up, and nested inside each other
c) The new & improved Automatic CNC 3-Axis Traveling Head Press nesting software provides optimal cut pattern and material yield (based on the number of dies mounted to the die mounting plate)
