The AD-H head combination is a modular cutting machine head that adopts a single tool holder structure, with the main tool position equipped with an integrated servo oscillating knife and an auxiliary tool position provided.
The AD-H head combination adopts a single tool holder structure, with the main tool position equipped with an integrated servo oscillating knife and an additional auxiliary tool position that can be fitted with a drag knife or creasing wheel as required by the process. This combination targets the cutting needs of thicker and tougher materials, driving the knife head directly through a servo motor to achieve high-frequency reciprocating motion, maintaining a stable output rhythm when cutting difficult-to-cut materials such as high-density foam and multi-layer composite materials, while supplementing processes such as scoring and creasing in a single pass with the help of the auxiliary tool position, reducing tool changes and secondary clamping.
Core Features
- Integrated servo oscillating knife: The servo motor directly drives the knife head, eliminating intermediate transmission links, resulting in more direct response of reciprocating frequency and amplitude, and making it less prone to weakness or interruption when cutting thick materials.
- Stable high-frequency reciprocating output: The knife head maintains relatively consistent cutting force under high-frequency vibration, which helps with the cut edge neatness of high-density foam and multi-layer composite materials.
- Single tool holder with dual tool positions: The main tool position holds the oscillating knife, while the auxiliary tool position can be equipped with a drag knife or creasing wheel, allowing cutting, creasing, and scoring processes to be completed within the same machine head.
- Modular combination capability: The head combination reserves module interfaces, allowing optional addition of circular punches, spindles, CCD vision components, inkjet heads, etc., adjusting configuration according to processing tasks.
- Strong adaptability to thick and tough materials: The knife head stroke and vibration matching have been optimized for thicker and tougher flexible materials, making the cutting process more effortless and suitable for forming processing of medium-thick material layers.
Applicable Materials and Industries
This combination is suitable for cutting thicker or tougher materials such as high-density foam, EVA, multi-layer composite fabrics, leather, carpet, honeycomb cardboard, and some rubber-based sheet materials. Typical applications include automotive interior parts and seat foam forming, packaging liners and cushioning material processing, footwear and luggage fabric cutting, and composite preform blanking, etc. It is also suitable for paper and label processing where cutting and creasing processes need to be completed in one operation.
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 strokes/min 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 composites.
When the processing objects are mainly medium-thick foam and multi-layer composite materials, and it is desired to combine cutting, creasing, and scoring processes within the same machine head, this combination can be given priority consideration; if subsequent needs include drilling, milling, or visual positioning, circular punches, spindles, or CCD vision components can be added to the machine head combination. In terms of supporting equipment, it can be used with roll feeding racks, automatic sheet feeding tables, and nesting cutting software to form a continuous process from feeding and nesting to cutting. Specific configuration recommendations should be determined based on material thickness and production capacity requirements.

FAQ
What materials is the AD-H head combination suitable for cutting?
It is suitable for thicker or tougher materials such as high-density foam, EVA, multi-layer composite fabrics, leather, carpet, honeycomb cardboard, and some rubber sheets.
What advantages does the integrated servo oscillating knife have over traditional oscillating knives?
The servo motor direct drive eliminates intermediate transmission, so the reciprocating frequency and amplitude response are more direct. When cutting thick materials, it is less prone to weakness or interruption, and the cut is neater.
What tools can be installed in the auxiliary tool position?
The auxiliary tool position can be equipped with a drag knife or creasing wheel to complete scoring and creasing processes simultaneously with cutting, reducing tool changes and secondary clamping.
Can this head combination be expanded with other functions?
Yes. The head combination reserves module interfaces and can be equipped with a circular punch, spindle, CCD vision component, inkjet head, etc., to achieve punching, milling, vision positioning, and other functions.
What factors need to be considered when selecting?
Material thickness, production capacity requirements, and subsequent processes should be considered. If the main materials are medium-thick foam and multi-layer composite materials and creasing/scoring is also required, this combination can be given priority.

The core of the AD-H model head combination lies in the integrated servo oscillating knife technology. The servo motor directly drives the knife head to perform high-frequency reciprocating motion, eliminating the traditional belt or gear transmission links, so that the response of vibration frequency and amplitude is faster and more precise. This direct-drive structure can maintain stable cutting force when cutting thick and tough materials such as high-density foam and multi-layer composite materials, avoiding weak cutting or uneven cuts caused by transmission clearance. At the same time, the servo system can adjust vibration parameters in real time to adapt to the cutting characteristics of different materials, improving processing quality and efficiency.
The single-knife-seat dual-knife-position design is another major highlight of this machine head combination. The main knife position is equipped with an oscillating knife, responsible for the primary cutting task; the auxiliary knife position can be fitted with a drag knife or creasing wheel according to process requirements, enabling cutting and creasing/scoring operations to be completed simultaneously. This design reduces the time for knife changes and secondary clamping, and is particularly suitable for processing scenarios that require multiple processes to be combined, such as automotive interior part forming and packaging liner processing. The flexibility of the auxiliary knife position also allows users to quickly adjust the configuration according to production tasks, improving equipment utilization.
The modular combination capability gives the AD-H machine head combination excellent scalability. The machine head combination reserves standard module interfaces, allowing users to add modules such as circular punches, spindles, CCD vision components, or inkjet heads according to future needs, to achieve functions such as punching, milling, visual positioning, or inkjet coding. This design enables the equipment to be upgraded as processing tasks change, protecting the user’s investment. In terms of supporting equipment, this combination can be seamlessly integrated with roll feeding racks, automatic sheet feeding tables, and layout cutting software to form an automated process from feeding and layout to cutting, making it suitable for medium-batch to high-volume production environments.
