When a plurality of suction heads are arranged, it is natural that a plurality of passages are formed corresponding to the number of suction heads.

Here, when there is a height difference between the seating area P and the loading area L, it may be provided to adjust the height of the driving unit 220 based on the movable rail.

However, when the amount of vinyl to be cut (A) loaded in the loading area (L) is small, the difference between the upper surface of the seating area (P) and the loading area (L) may be large.

At this time, the conveying device 200 may be provided such that a suction surface reciprocating between the loading area L and the seating area P has a constant height from the ground in a vertical direction.

In other words, the transport device 200 is loaded so that the height at which the vinyl to be cut (A) is adsorbed and the height at which the vinyl to be cut (A) is adsorbed and released from the seating area (P) is constant, based on the vertical direction from the ground. By varying the height of the support surface supporting the vinyl A to be cut in the area L, it is possible to minimize the height variation in the vertical direction of the drive unit 220.

The vinyl cutting system 10 having the configuration described above may further include a post-processing device 300 .

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the post-processing device 300 fixes a part of the cut portion A1 in the vinyl A to be cut and moves it in one direction, thereby cutting the cut portion A1 cut in the work area W. ) can be removed.

For example, in order to tear off the cut portion A1, one side edge of the cut portion A1 may be primarily protruded and gripped using the tongs module 320 provided.

Next, by moving the tong module 320 in one direction through the transfer rail, the cut portion A1 can be completely removed from the top of the vinyl to be cut (A).

In addition, the tongs module 320 is provided so that it can be rotated based on the pivot axis, so that the vinyl to be cut (A) can collide with the tongs module in the process of moving from the work area (W) to the post-processing device 300 situation can be prevented.

At this time, although not shown in the drawings, the post-processing device 300 is also provided so that it can be coupled or released from the vinyl cutting device 100 like the conveying device 200, and the area supporting the vinyl (A) to be cut is provided with a conveyor belt. When the cut portion A1 is completely removed, the vinyl A to be cut may be moved in one direction.

In addition, the post-processing device 300, in addition to the above-described method, as shown in FIG. 12, uses an attachment module 340 equipped with a pad that generates static electricity to tear off the cut portion A1. It will be possible to use a method of completely removing the cut portion (A1) from the vinyl (A) to be cut by having one edge adhered to the pad and then moving it in one direction.

Therefore, the vinyl cutting device 100 and the system including the same of the present invention for solving the above problems enable the cutter 141 provided in the cutting unit 140 to be finely displaced in the z-axis direction, so that the cutter ( 141) can perform the cutting operation while being in contact only with the vinyl (A) to be cut seated on the stage 120, thereby preventing damage to the stage 120 and the cutter 141 in advance, and cutting the vinyl accurately. Since it can be cut to size, the quality of the final product can be maximized, and the production volume can be greatly improved by rapid work.

In addition, productivity and quality can be improved by automating the process of placing the product through the conveying device 200 and the post-processing device 300 and the process of removing vinyl from the product that has been cut.

As described above, the preferred embodiments according to the present invention have been reviewed, and the fact that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or scope in addition to the above-described embodiments is a matter of ordinary knowledge in the art. It is self-evident to them. Therefore, the embodiments described above are to be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive, and thus the present invention is not limited to the above description, but may vary within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
