Abstract
A control circuit for an electromagnetic cutting apparatus includes auxiliary power impulse systems and auxiliary condensers for accelerating an already moving plunger of the cutting apparatus. The basic control circuit includes photoelectric sensors for sensing the leading and trailing edges of components. The sensors are part of an electronic circuit for rapidly charging a coil surrounding a core on the plunger for driving a blade downwardly to cut the tape. Condensers in the electronic circuit are normally charged and, in response to signals from the photoelectric sensors, instantaneously discharge into the coil to actuate the plunger. The auxiliary power impulse systems and auxiliary condensers are controlled by timers for discharging the auxiliary condensers into the coil a short time after the condensers of the basic circuit and while the plunger is moving to accelerate the latter.
