Tangential creasing tool TCT-2:

The TCT-2 (tangential creasing tool) is a processing unit for CNC-machines to crease various materials such as cardboard, paperboard, corrugated cardboard and polypropylene. It is a precise quality product made in Germany.

To ensure best quality and highest precision, the development and production of all mechanical and electronic components are made by ECOCAM. Accessories and spare parts are generally available from stock. Since our modules have an open interface, they can easily be combined with systems from different machine manufacturers.

General construction:

• CNC-made, robust full metal housing and durable precision kinematic with several ball bearings
  
  
• Opto-electronic, contactless detection of the blade´s reference position
  
  
• Attachable to systems from various machine manufacturers due to easy mechanical connection
  with 2 options:
  
  - 43mm-clamp collar on the bottom of the body
  - M4 threads (6 pcs.) on the backside of the body 43mm-clamp collar
  

• One ball bearing absorbs axial forces on the rotating axis;
  Two ball bearings absorb the creasing wheels radial forces

Technical specifications:

• Supply voltage of control electronics: 6 - 24VDC
  
  
• Outside dimensions: approx. 58 x 86 x 220mm
  

Creasing wheel runs on ball bearings:

• The creasing wheels for the TCT-2 module are equipped with double ball bearings so that they are suitable for continuous hard use.
  
  
• Radial and axial forces can be absorbed permanently with very low wear.
  

Electrical connection:

• Integrated industrial connectors with crimping contacts for quick and easy connection to different machine systems
  
  
• 2-phase high-torque stepper motor with a full step angle of 0.9 degrees (=400 steps per rev.) for precise positioning and strong holding force
  

Electronic specifications:

• The internal electronic system is equipped with a reverse polarity protection and with an optical display for the working status.
  
  
• The module includes an internal voltage regulator and stabilizer.
  It´s possible to supply the internal electronics within a range of 6 - 24VDC.
  
  
• An internal signal amplifier generates a clearly defined digital signal for the reference position of the tangential axis.
