Cutter Mechanism
[E]
Rear
View
The cutter motor [D] drives the screw shaft [A], moving the cutter holder [C] forward
and backward.
There are two cutter blades [B] in the holder. While the cutter holder [C] travels to
the front (the operation side of the machine), the blades cut the master. The cutter
motor keeps turning in one direction. However, the cutter holder returns to the
home position when it reaches the front end of the cutter unit because of the two
different spirals threaded on the screw shaft [A].
When the cutter holder reaches the home position, the cutter home position sensor
[E] is activated by the holder and the motor stops.
