To develop a satisfying plantlet-cutting mechanism of grafting machine, the authors designed a half-rotating cutting mechanism, optimized structural parameters and developed a simulation cutting test device, then made a cutting test by using five kinds of seedlings including peach, plum, orange, grape and chestnut based on the test device. The results testified the feasibility of the cutting mechanism and showed the sequences of test factors according to the influence on cutting resistance and cutting-out rate. The correlation between cutting resistance and the three factors including seedling...
