The document discusses a rotary cutter system that uses a Baldor servo motor and MintDriveII servo drive to cut soap bars to a desired length based on encoder feedback. The servo drive stores data permanently, supports programming in VB, has analog and digital I/O, and configuration/programming software. It controls the servo motor which reads the encoder pulses from the extruder to determine bar length and cuts the bar using output to the cutter blade when the set length is reached. The system can integrate with other devices using fieldbus modules.
