case study

Electric press on a fly cutting conveyor belt

Costumer business sector: Elastomer foam extruder

costumer requirements

A manufacturer of foam rubber and extrusion rubber approached us to integrate a complete post-processing solution at the end of their line. The requirements were:

  • Adhesive application and drying
  • Band cooling
  • Protective film application
  • Longitudinal and transverse cutting on the fly

All of this without production interruption, a major challenge for this type of application.

CNM’s solution

We proposed a hybrid solution combining:

1.Innovative Coating System

  • Double adhesive application technology (hot melt and aqueous latex)
  • Modulable cold application system
  • Optimized cooling and drying

2.Control and Automation

  • I-ECAM camera for width measurement and servo control
  • Conveyor belts with loop control
  • AI algorithm for automatic edge detection

3.High-performance Cutting System

  • Transverse cutting at 120 cuts/min
  • 500kg electric press with 0.1mm precision
  • Longitudinal cutting with evacuation belt

the benefits of our machine

This CNM Process solution enables continuous 2×8 production with sub-millimeter cutting precision, even on sensitive materials. The line operates at a speed of 10m/min for components ranging from 50mm to 2m, thanks to a 500kg press with 0.1mm precision. The intelligent control system ensures complete traceability via touchscreens, allowing optimal control without production interruptions.
