Ultrasonic Satin Ribbon Cutting Machine with Mark Positioning and Stacker WM-580

›

The WM-580 cuts satin ribbon, printed tape and woven trim against an 18 kHz ultrasonic head, fusing the weave along the cut so every piece leaves sealed and fray-free. What separates it from a plain ultrasonic cutter is what happens either side of the cut: a photoelectric sensor over the material path registers each cut to a printed mark, so the blade lands at the same point of a repeating design piece after piece, and the finished lengths are received and stacked at the discharge instead of dropping loose. Length, speed, cut time, batch quantity and running count are set on a touch screen that switches between English and Chinese. The floor-standing unit runs at 60–80 pieces per minute, draws 1.8 kW at 220 V on 3–6 kg/cm² air and weighs 130 kg.

Key features

• Print-mark positioning is the reason to choose this machine — a photoelectric sensor sits over the material path ahead of the cutting head and triggers on a printed mark or repeat, so a logo ribbon, care label tape or repeat-printed trim is cut at the same point in the pattern on every piece rather than at a blind fixed pitch that drifts across a roll
• 18 kHz ultrasonic head fuses the weave as it severs it, so polyester and nylon satin, grosgrain and woven trim come off sealed with no separate flame or hot-knife singeing station and no stiff melted bead along the edge
• Receiving and stacking at the discharge — the screen carries a receiving open/close control, so cut lengths are collected in order at the end of the machine instead of scattering across the bench for someone to gather and square up
• Touch screen switches between English and Chinese on a single button, and carries length setting in mm, feed speed, cut time in seconds, a live pcs/min readout, total-quantity and single-batch targets with a completed counter, plus trial cut, jog feed and pinch-roller controls and separate debug, setup, I/O and manual pages
• Powered pre-feed with its own millisecond timing controller pays ribbon off a large-diameter reel and buffers it before the cutting head, so tension stays even and thin satin is not stretched into a length error on the way in
• Adjustable guide clamps on a stainless rail set the material track by hand for each ribbon width, and the whole machine stands on a castered aluminium-profile frame with the ultrasonic generator carried on the lower shelf — it rolls to the line rather than occupying a bench
• Free sample test — send us a roll of your ribbon or printed tape and we cut it on this machine, register the cut to your print mark and send you the video and the cut pieces before you order

What it processes

• Satin, grosgrain and polyester ribbon cut to length with sealed, fray-free ends for gift packaging, florist and garment trim
• Repeat-printed ribbon, logo tape and woven care-label tape where every piece has to be cut at the same point in the printed repeat
• Hook-and-loop tape, elastic band and narrow synthetic webbing cut in counted batches and collected in order for the next assembly station

Suited for: narrow synthetic flat stock — satin and grosgrain ribbon, printed logo tape, woven care-label tape, hook-and-loop and elastic band — on jobs where the end must be sealed and soft, where the cut has to land at the same point in a printed repeat, and where the pieces have to come off the machine collected and counted rather than loose.

Not suited for: holes, shaped ends, heavy stock, or anything that must not be fused. For sealed edges plus punched holes in one pass, use the WM-564 ultrasonic webbing punching and cutting machine. For beveled and arrow-point end shapes on the same ribbon and tape, the WM-567 ultrasonic ribbon and tape cutting machine is the shape-cutting member of this family. For wider or thicker material — 1 to 80 mm wide, up to 8 mm thick — round rope and cord, or custom shaped dies, step across to the WM-574 ultrasonic rope and webbing cutting machine. Material that must not be fused at all — film, insulating sheet, paper label stock — needs a cold blade with a stacker instead: WM-579 automatic tape and webbing cutting machine with stacker, which also covers hot-blade work up to 98 mm wide. Wire, cable and conductors belong with the wire cutting and stripping machines.

Where the WM-580 sits against the WM-579, the other machine here that stacks its output: the WM-579 is a 28 kg benchtop unit with a blade that runs cold or hot to 500 °C, takes material up to 98 mm wide and cuts at a fixed programmed length. The WM-580 is a 130 kg floor unit with an ultrasonic head and no blade heat at all, and it registers the cut to a printed mark rather than to a counter. Choose by the material and the cut, not by the stacker: heated or cold blade on wide or non-fusible stock is the WM-579; a soft fused edge on printed satin that has to be cut in register is this machine.

Send us a roll of your ribbon with the length, the batch size and — if it is printed — the repeat you need the cut to land on. We run it on this machine, film the sensor picking up your mark, and mail the cut pieces back so you inspect the sealed edge on your own material before you commit.
