- The oscillating knife cutting thickness covers 0.2-60mm, and can cut genuine leather, microfiber, fabric, composite cotton, PP board and other soft materials.
- The pneumatic oscillating knife head produces a clean cross-section without burn marks, requiring no secondary processing and avoiding the charring, smoking and edge hardening problems of laser cutting.
- No mold making is required; cutting begins as soon as the drawing is imported, making it suitable for small-batch multi-style production, with style changeover time shortened from days to minutes.
- Vision positioning and automatic nesting technology improve the cutting accuracy and material utilization of irregular parts, reducing waste.
- In new energy interior projects, the DN6 dual-head model improves the overall cutting efficiency per piece several times compared with manual work, with noticeably improved material utilization.
Market Trends
In recent years, the production and sales of new energy vehicles have continued to grow rapidly, driving the rapid expansion of the interior supply chain. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, new energy models are updated faster and have a higher degree of interior personalization. The cutting of interior parts such as seat covers, door panel wrapping, floor mats and sound insulation cotton presents new characteristics of “multiple materials, small batches, fast iteration”.
Why the Oscillating Knife
New energy interior parts involve a variety of soft materials such as genuine leather, microfiber, fabric, composite cotton and PP board. Laser cutting has problems such as charring, smoking and edge hardening, while die cutting has a long mold making cycle and high cost. Oscillating knife cutting relies on high-frequency reciprocating blades for physical cutting:
- Clean cut surface with no burn marks, no secondary processing required;
- No mold making needed, cut immediately after drawing import, suitable for small batches and multiple styles;
- Vision positioning + automatic nesting, precise and material-saving for irregular parts;
- Cutting thickness covers 0.2-60mm, one machine handles multiple processes.
Supply Chain Practice
More and more Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers are introducing oscillating knife cutting lines to replace traditional punch presses and manual cutting. Taking a new energy interior project served by Dingniu as an example, after introducing the DN6 dual-head model, the comprehensive cutting efficiency per part increased several times compared with manual work, material utilization improved significantly, and changeover time was shortened from several days to minutes.
