Unloading conveyor table Support for polyethylene paper roll Electrical box and suction system Console computer with program MACHINE DESCRIPTION:The V automatic cutting machine is designed for cutting fabrics and similar materials, featuring a cutting beam, robotic cutting head, HMI operator panel, bristles conveyor cutting table, and unloading table. It uses a high-intensity polyethylene paper sheet to create suction, holding the material during cutting, with all functions controlled via a console computer and operator panel 1 The V automatic cutting machine has been designed and built for cutting materials such as fabric or similar in single-layer, single-sheet, or multiple formats To perform this operation, it is equipped with a cutting head installed on the robotic beam that moves on a bristles conveyor 2 The V machine consists of a conveyor cutting table where the material to be cut is positioned The cutting table surface is made up of a set of multi-needle bristles that support the fabric, allowing the blade to move through the bristles needles without damaging them The suction passes through the bristles and reaches the fabric to hold it during cutting 3 The "Cutting Beam" (1) moves along the entire length of the cutting conveyor, and the "Robotic Cutting Head" (2) moves above the cutting beam A blade is installed inside the cutting head and moves alternately to cut the fabric Depending on the provided V model, other tools can also be installed on the cutting head 4 After the cutting conveyor, the unloading table (5) is positioned, consisting of a conveyor belt The cut fabric automatically or manually moves from the cutting conveyor to the unloading table, where it can be collected 5 Underneath the unloading table, there is the electrical box (7), the main switch for turning the machine on/off, and the blower that generates suction inside the cutting area to hold the material 6 To create a vacuum to hold the material, the cutting surface must be covered with a high-intensity polyethylene paper sheet that is impermeable to air The roll of polyethylene paper is placed on its support, which is located at the entrance of the cutting table 7 The operator can control the cutting process and set parameters to cut the markers (cutting files) through the software installed on the computer placed on a console fixed to the unloading table Commands to move the beam and cutting head are given through the operator panel "HMI" located on one side of the beam 8 During the cutting procedure, the operator must be positioned next to the machine at a safe distance to monitor the execution of the cut and potentially modify the execution settings of the work cycle MACHINE

Cutting Head PROCEDURE: 1 The vibration box is connected to the knife motor to generate the reciprocal movement of the knife 2 The knife holder is positioned at the end of the vibration box, where the knife must be installed 3 The drill assembly is used to create holes within the fabric There are different options for the drill bit and punching devices with hollow tips It is possible to install two drilling assemblies on the same cutting head of the V machine 4 The sharpening assembly automatically manages the sharpening cycle for the blade through the V machine’s software 5 The presser foot guides the knife The software automatically controls the pressure and position of the presser foot When necessary, the presser foot is lowered to mattress level and applies pressure based on the set parameters 6 The recess under the presser foot touches and glides over the fabric, potentially following the contours of the mattress 7 The laser spot is used to set the origin of the marker and display the position of the figures Cutting Head IMAGE: 1 Figure 10: Cutting Head – Diagram of the cutting head assembly, showing all components such as the vibration box, knife holder, drill assembly, and presser foot 47 SUPPORT FOR POLYETHYLENE PAPER ROLL Support for Polyethylene Paper Roll PROCEDURE: 1 Use the handle to unwind or rewind the polyethylene paper roll 2 The polyethylene paper roll is held in place by two cones (one on each side) The position of both cones is adjustable 3 Place the polyethylene paper roll on a shaft that rotates on bearings After a mattress has been laid or moved onto the cutting table, the operator must cover the entire cutting table with a poly paper foil If a surface is not well covered, there is a loss of suction, and the vacuum generated is weak When the machine does a bite, the suction generated in the cutting zone holds the poly foil attached to the fabric, and the bristles conveyor pulls the foil, rotating the roll 4 The polyethylene paper roll rotates around the guide bar before being placed on the mattress The bar adheres the foil to the mattress 5 Use the height block to adjust the height of the guide bar, depending on the height of the mattress to be cut Support for Polyethylene Paper Roll WARNING: 1 Ensure the polyethylene paper roll is securely mounted on the shaft before use to prevent any dislodging or rolling issues 2 Always check the position of the cones to ensure the polyethylene paper roll is correctly aligned and properly tensioned Support for Polyethylene Paper Roll NOTICE: 1 Proper coverage of the entire cutting table with polyethylene paper foil is crucial for maintaining suction and achieving optimal cutting results 2 Adjust the guide bar height based on the mattress size to avoid improper foil application or interference during the cutting process Support for Polyethylene Paper Roll IMAGE: 1 Figure 11: Illustration showing the polyethylene paper roll support assembly with handle, cones, and shaft .Maintenance WARNING: 1 Always remember to activate the safety devices before proceeding to prevent hazards, personal injuries, or material damage 2 Extraordinary maintenance operations must be carried out only by a specialized technician, ensuring to turn off the machine by operating the main switch of the machine and the connected electrical panel. .WARNINGS WARNINGS PROCEDURE: 1 Thoroughly clean individual components using appropriate degreasers and, where necessary, compressed air 2 Intervene based on specific requirements related to the machine's production cycle 3 During specific inspections, also conduct a brief check of other parts of the machine 4 It is a good practice for the operator, before starting the machine, to visually inspect the overall
