Cutter Mechanism
[11
After the master making process
(writing process)
is finished,
the master feed motor
turns off and the cutter motor [A] starts turning in the reverse direction as indicated by
the arrow.
The cutter motor [A] drives the wire pulley [F] through the gears [B], [C], [D], [E] and
pulley [F]. This is to shift the cutter unit to the rear (non-operation
side). As the cutter [G]
rotates and travels to the rear, it cuts the master.
When the right cutter switch [H] turns on, the cutter motor [A] starts turning in the op-
posite direction to return the cutter unit to the front (operation
side). When the left
cutter
switch [1] turns on, the cutter motor
[A] stops. This finishes the master cutting process.
After the master cutting process is finished, the master is fed about 42 millimeters.
