PLATE PARTING MACHINE (CUTTING MACHINE)
The cutting machines are used to part the panels into two plates. There are five types of cutting machines used which are given as below.
· Batek Cutting Machine
· Zeesar Cutting Machine
· Mac Parter
· Ganglih Cutting Machine
· JSB Cutting Machine
Panels are loaded into the cutting machine by hanging them vertically by their lugs onto a two chain conveyor. This loading conveyor is 600 mm long panels are advanced to a feeding mechanism that transfers them individually from a vertical to a horizontal position. Panels are fed to horizontal chain conveyor. This conveyor consists of two outside chains with confining lugs and two center chains with lugs that support the center trailing panel edge during parting. The outside conveyor chains converge slightly as panels travel through the machine to allow panel feeding and give positive location for parting.
Rotary wire brushes clean the top and bottom of panel lugs. The panel lugs are supported by the flat metal anvil while first the top surface is brushed. Panel lugs are trimmed and panels parted by knives cutter and then driven through. After parting, the plates are discharged onto 2m conveyor. The four conveyor chains on the collection end table convey the parted plates which are manually collected.

Plate Cutting Method
The following procedure is used for the hand plate cutting using Ganglih Machine.
1. Set the die as per plate dimensions before starting the cutting.
2. Also adjust cutter height according to plate. Switch on the blower and the machine.
3. Place a bunch of plates on the cutting bar. Use the operating buttons to control the cutting feed.
4. Use wire brush for cleaning of cutting part.
5. Place the cut plates into the bow and tag it.
