The DAF-H head combination is a high-configuration modular solution for composite material processing. It is assembled from three major modules: an integrated servo oscillating knife, a single knife holder, and a servo angle cutting knife, and can be expanded with optional units such as a circular punch, spindle, CCD vision component, and inkjet head according to process requirements. The integrated servo oscillating knife handles high-speed cutting of soft materials, the servo angle cutting knife performs beveling and angle cutting on thick materials, and the single knife holder supplements auxiliary processes such as drag knife and creasing, enabling soft, tough, and thick materials to be processed seamlessly on the same head, reducing machine changes and secondary clamping.
Core Features
- Integrated servo oscillating knife for high-speed cutting: The oscillating knife is directly driven by a servo unit, achieving high-frequency oscillating cutting of soft materials such as fabric, leather, and foam, with clean cuts and minimal heat effect, suitable for continuous high-speed operation.
- Servo angle cutting knife for thick material beveling: The angle of the angle-cutting module is servo-controlled, enabling beveling and angle cutting of thicker boards and composite layer materials, with consistent cut angles, facilitating subsequent splicing and edge wrapping.
- Single knife holder supplements drag knife and creasing: The single knife holder can be fitted with tools such as a drag knife and creasing wheel to complete processes including half-cutting, creasing, and marking, forming a complete process chain with the oscillating knife and angle cutting knife, reducing outsourced operations.
- Modular combination and expansion: The head reserves mounting positions for a circular punch, spindle, CCD vision component, and inkjet head, which can be added item by item according to needs such as drilling, milling, vision alignment, and inkjet marking, allowing the configuration to grow with the process.
- One machine handles soft, tough, and thick materials: The three types of modules work together to cover the processing range from thin soft rolled materials to thick heavy composite boards, with no need to change the head when switching materials, suitable for multi-variety, small-batch composite processing scenarios.
Applicable Materials and Industries
This combination is suitable for materials such as fabric, leather, foam, honeycomb cardboard, corrugated cardboard, carbon fiber prepreg, fiberglass board, and multi-layer composite panels. Typical applications include automotive interiors, seat and door panel processing, aviation composite cutting, packaging and advertising signage, as well as sports equipment, footwear materials, and filtration materials. It is especially suited for composite processing production lines that require both soft material cutting and thick material beveling.
Selection and Configuration Recommendations
The integrated servo oscillating knife equipped in this combination is directly driven by a servo motor, with a vibration frequency of 3500 rpm and an amplitude of 5mm. The large-amplitude reciprocating punching force is strong, making it suitable for thick cutting of soft materials such as leather, foam, and composite materials.
When the processing objects include both soft roll materials and relatively thick composite panels, and multiple processes such as beveling, creasing, and drilling need to be completed in one pass, this combination is preferred; if only thin soft material cutting is required, it can be simplified to a configuration of oscillating knife plus single knife holder. In terms of configuration, it can be linked with automatic feeding tables, roll feeding racks, and layout cutting software, and reserved interfaces for CCD vision and inkjet marking are provided, facilitating subsequent upgrades to visual alignment and automatic marking production lines.

In automotive interior manufacturing, the DAF-H head combination can efficiently complete the cutting of seat fabrics, the beveling of door panel composite materials, and the creasing of sound insulation cotton. The integrated servo oscillating knife ensures clean cuts without burrs on thick materials through large-amplitude reciprocating vibration at 3,500 times per minute, while the servo angle knife performs precise bevel cutting on PP honeycomb panels up to 50mm thick, with angle error controlled within 0.1°, meeting the requirements of subsequent edge-wrapping processes. The single knife holder can be quickly swapped with a creasing wheel to press fold lines into fabrics, reducing the difficulty of subsequent sewing. Through modular configuration, the entire machine achieves full-process automation from roll material feeding, cutting, beveling to creasing, significantly improving production line efficiency.
Aerospace composite material processing demands extremely high precision and reliability. With the synergy of the servo angle knife and CCD vision components, the DAF-H head combination can complete precise cutting and beveling of carbon fiber prepreg. The angle knife angle is controlled by a servo motor closed loop, ensuring consistent cut angles for each layer of prepreg and avoiding gaps or overlaps during layup. The CCD vision system can automatically identify material edges and registration marks with positioning accuracy of 0.05mm, and works with the inkjet head to achieve automatic marking, reducing manual intervention. In addition, the spindle module can be equipped with a milling cutter for milling honeycomb cores, covering multiple composite processes with one machine and reducing equipment investment costs.
For the packaging and advertising signage industries, the DAF-H head combination offers flexible configuration options. When processing corrugated cardboard, the oscillating knife can cut at high speed, and the single knife holder can be swapped with a drag knife for kiss cutting to facilitate subsequent folding; the servo angle knife is used for beveling thick cardboard to enhance the structural strength of display stands. Users can optionally equip a circular punch module for hole punching or add an inkjet head for variable data printing according to order requirements. The modular design enables the equipment to handle multi-variety, small-batch orders with ease, with tool change time not exceeding 5 minutes, effectively reducing downtime. Combined with an automatic feeding table and layout software, continuous and efficient production can be achieved, helping enterprises respond quickly to market changes.
