Transmission mechanism
The transmission mechanism consists of the cutter motor gear fastened on the cutter motor
shaft, two reduction gears A, the reduction gear B, two drive gears on the drive gear shaft, and
the cutter slider assembly. The cutter motor rotation is reduced and transmitted to the drive
shaft via the reduction gears A and B. The gears on the drive shaft then translate the rotary
motion into a sliding motion for operation of the cutter slider.
Cutter mechanism
The cutter mechanism consists of the cutter blade frame, cutter blade, and cutter blade cover.
The mechanism performs either a full or a partial cut, depending on the F/P position signal
supplied by the sensor assembly.
