Adjustment of the cutter
The cutter is adjusted in three different ways as described below.
(1) “Adjustment of the eccentricity” to adjust the eccentricity of the blade tip and tools
(2) “Adjustment of θ angle” to adjust the rotating angle of the cutter
(3) “Adjustment of the offset” to eliminate the deviation between the tangential cutter and the pen
Adjustment of the eccentricity
The blade tip or a tool may be off-center when it is replaced. The following indicates an example of the blade tip or
tool that is off-center and how to adjust it.
Two different patterns for adjustment are simultaneously cut. Sizes of the patterns and the cutting order are shown
below.
Pattern A Pattern B
How to adjust:
Follow the adjusting procedure given below.
In pattern A, the center position is adjusted by checking and adjusting the relationship between the blade tip and the
center of the cutter according to the target.
Normally, adjustment is performed so that the blade does not stick out too much and there is no gap. Adjust the back
of the cutter to the center position, as shown in the following figure.
Sample pattern

How to adjust
Reducing value A reduces the amount of
protrusion.
Increasing value A reduces the gap.
