1. Using the Cutter

Adjusting the Cutting Blade Protrusion Length

Adjust the cutting blade protrusion length (0.2 to 0.5 mm) to suit the cutter and sheet type being used.

 

  • If the base paper is thicker than the label film: (label film thickness + base paper thickness)/2

  • If the base paper is thinner than the label film: As far as to cut into label film

  • The protrusion of the cutting blade can be adjusted accurately using the optional cutting blade adjuster tool.
    Part number: OPT-C0066 "blade adjuster (for eccentric cutter)"
  1. Turn the adjusting knob to adjust the protrusion of the cutting blade.

  1. Check the cutting performance.
  • Adjust the pressure so that it leaves slight marks on the base paper. A cutting blade that protrudes too far may damage the machine.
  • If the base paper is thinner than the film, preventing accurate cutting quality from being achieved, better results may be obtained by altering the cutting blade protrusion length.
    Setting Tool Conditions
    Test Cutting
  • When using the cutter holder included in the delivery, you can adjust the protrusion length while the cutter is attached to the tool holder. (0.5 mm per turn of the adjusting knob)
