The A-type head combination is a cutting head that modularly integrates a standard single-tool holder with a CCD vision positioning pen, achieving precise contour cutting of printed patterns through visual recognition.
The A-type head combination adopts a modular configuration of a standard single-tool holder paired with a CCD vision positioning pen, assembled from modules such as the tool holder, oscillating knife (or drag knife), CCD camera, and positioning pen. Its core lies in integrating visual recognition and general cutting into the same head: the CCD camera automatically recognizes the contour features of printed patterns and corrects the cutting path in real time, so that the knife path precisely follows the pattern edges, thereby solving the problems of misalignment and incomplete cutting caused by registration deviation when contour cutting printed materials, while the single-tool holder retains quick-change tool capability, covering both conventional cutting and vision positioning processing needs.
Core Features
- CCD vision automatic alignment: The camera recognizes printed pattern contours and corrects the cutting path, eliminating manual piece-by-piece alignment for contour cutting and reducing registration errors.
- Single-tool holder with quick-change tools: The same tool holder can quickly change between oscillating knife, drag knife, and other tools, with one head covering both general cutting and fine contour cutting conditions.
- Positioning pen for assisted calibration: Works with the CCD to complete marker point recognition and coordinate calibration, making it easy to quickly restore the positioning reference after material changes.
- Oscillating knife low-damage cutting: The oscillating knife cuts downward with high-frequency micro-amplitude vibration, producing clean cuts on printed surface layers and thin materials while reducing edge indentation and burrs.
- Modular on-demand expansion: The head reserves module interfaces for later addition of components such as rotary punches and inkjet heads according to process needs, protecting equipment investment.
Applicable Materials and Industries
This combination is suitable for color-printed cardboard, trademark hangtag paper, adhesive labels, cardstock, thin corrugated board, and some film materials, and is especially suited for workpieces with pre-printed patterns that require contour cutting. Typical application industries include color-printed packaging, trademark hangtags, label printing, advertising display products, and paper product post-processing scenarios.
Selection and Configuration Recommendations
When the processing object is mainly printed finished products and needs to be cut along pattern contours rather than fixed shapes, this combination is preferred; if subsequent drilling or inkjet marking is required, circular punches and inkjet head modules can be added on this basis. In terms of supporting equipment, it is recommended to pair with a roll feeding or sheet feeding platform to ensure stable feeding, and to select cutting control software that supports CCD vision alignment and tool path compensation, so that the vision recognition results are linked with the cutting path, fully leveraging the contour cutting capability of this head combination.

The core advantage of the A-type machine head combination lies in integrating visual recognition and general cutting functions into the same module, reducing equipment footprint and production line changeover time. Traditional contour cutting requires manual alignment or a separate vision system, whereas this combination uses a CCD camera to capture the contour features of printed patterns in real time, combined with control software for tool path compensation, keeping the deviation between the cutting path and the pattern edge within ±0.1mm. For industries with high registration requirements such as color-printed packaging and trademark hangtags, this accuracy can significantly reduce scrap rates and improve material utilization.
When selecting a model, users need to determine whether to prioritize this combination based on the main processing materials and process requirements. If the processing object is mainly printed finished products and requires cutting along pattern contours rather than fixed-shape cutting, this combination is the best choice. If punching or inkjet marking functions need to be added later, the module interface reserved on the machine head can be used to expand with a circular punch or inkjet head, avoiding duplicate investment. In terms of supporting equipment, it is recommended to pair with a roll or sheet feeding platform to ensure stable feeding, and to choose cutting control software that supports CCD visual alignment and tool path compensation, so that visual recognition results are linked with the cutting path, fully leveraging the contour cutting capability.
For maintenance and care, the CCD lens needs regular cleaning to prevent dust from affecting recognition accuracy; it is recommended to wipe it with special lens paper every shift. The calibration cycle of the positioning pen is usually 500 hours or adjusted according to usage frequency. The calibration method is simple and can be completed with a standard calibration board. The oscillating knife blade is a wear part, and depending on the cutting material, its lifespan is between 8-12 hours; timely replacement ensures cut quality. In addition, the machine head module interface should be kept dry and clean to prevent dust accumulation from causing poor contact. Following these maintenance points can extend the service life of the machine head combination and maintain stable cutting accuracy.
