Rotary Knife Assemblies

This rotary cutter is capable of thousands of cuts per minute. It is built in a modular configuration so it can be incorporated into a new machine or replace existing units. Assemblies can be designed to your specifications. The rotary cutter has an extended shaft on the cutting cylinder where a timing pulley or gear can be attached. The rotary cutter should always run faster than the web to ensure good cut quality without disturbing the web. The cut length is determined by the relationship of web speed to cutting speed. Rotary units can have a crush cut or shear cut blade.

A crush cut is achieved by the blade in the top cylinder, cutting against a hardened anvil roll. These units have blade spacing from 2 in. and up and are good for thin materials. The cutter has a unique quick change blade design so even an unskilled operator can install a new blade in a few minutes.

Advantages:

• Blade change in less than 5 minutes
  
• Self-setting blade height
  
• Disposable steel rule die blades
  
• Good for thin materials
  
• Multiple blades per cutting cylinder available
  
• Lower solid anvil supports web during cutting
