Accusaw Series

ESI’s unique Accusaw series of stop/go saws have a long history of providing precision, in-line, cut-to-length results to the extruders of flexible rubber and plastic profiles and hose (both reinforced and non reinforced). The Accusaw features a servo driven smooth belt feeder and fiber optic length control that effectively eliminates slippage. The servo driven belt feeder precisely advances the extrudate through the saw until shortly before the desired cut length is reached. The feeder is then slowed until the fiber optic sensor is triggered, at which point the feeder is stopped, with no interruption to the extrusion process, and the cut is performed. The dancer controlled feeder then smoothly accelerates to catch up to the line and the process is repeated. This revolutionary technology provides unparalleled cut length accuracy and, because the extrudate is momentarily stopped during the cut, superior cut quality.
