Free play on knifes
There can be two reasons for adjusting the distance on
the strip cutter:
1. Material is not cut correctly and material is forced
in between the blades and the middle knife is not
moving up and down. Before making any adjust-
ments, please make sure that the knifes are still
sharp and don’t have any marks on the knife edge.
In this case we will have to make less distance be-
tween the body and the guide rail holders. Typically
0,02mm.
2. Dust can build up in the bushings, so there is no
tolerance in between the bushing and the rail. The
knifes will then go to hard against each other and it
can’t be moved back by the force of the air cylinder.
In this case we will have to make more distance be-
tween the body and the guide rail holders. Typically
0,03mm.
When adjusting the distance you must always start in
the side where the knife touches first (pos. 1 or 3).
Then test the cutter and see if this is enough or modifi
-
cation in the other side is necessary (pos. 2 or 4).
