Abstract
This study examines schemes of combined double-crank wedging drive mechanisms for the pressure plate of a die-cutting press and defines the conditions for their application. Structural and geometric synthesis of the mechanisms is performed, and their kinematic and functional characteristics are derived analytically. The combined double-crank wedging arrangement is shown to increase dwell during the cutting phase and to smooth the plate’s motion, improving the quality and stability of cardboard die-cutting. Recommendations are given for selecting the scheme parameters according to the required press cyclicity.
