Back Slitting
The DLP-2100 comes with two rotary blade back
slitters that can be used to back slit the liner prior to
the media being cut by the die. The back slit liner will
remain adhered to the waste material when the
waste is removed.
The back slitters are located on a bar just below the
metal roller prior to the input nip roller.
Adjusting the back slitters
Each back slitter is positioned independently, but fine position adjustments to both at the same time can
also be made.
1)
With the DLP-2100
stopped
, loosen the
pressure on the rotary blade by turning
the pressure knob counter clockwise.
2)
Loosen the thumbscrew on the left side of
the back slitter.
3)
Reposition the back slitter and tighten the
thumbscrew on the left side.
4)
Tighten the thumbscrew on the right to
increase the pressure on the rotary blade.
5)
Apply only enough pressure to the rotary
blades to cut through the liner.
6)
Run the DLP-2100 to verify that the liner
is being cleanly slit without slitting the
media itself, adjusting pressure as
needed.
a)
If the blades are cutting all the way through the media, reduce the pressure.
b)
If the liner is not being cleanly cut, increase the pressure slightly on the blades.
7)
You can fine adjust the lateral position of the entire
back slitter assembly using the adjustment knob on
the front of the DLP-2100.
a)
This adjustment will move both back slitters at
the same time without changing the distance
between them.
