and lightweight types. The mechanism of this unit consists of 4 blocks; frame, power transmission
mechanism, detector, and movable blade mechanism.
2) Mechanism and Principle of Operation
2)-1 Power transmission mechanism
The reduction gear train of this auto cutter is composed of the motor gear mounted onto the motor shaft,
worn, and two cutter gears. One rotation of the motor gear rotates the cutter gear by 7/520 ( 1/74)
(See. Fig. 1.)
2)-2 Detector
The detector is composed of the mechanism contract switch and cutter gear cam.
This detector detects the home position of the movable blade for partial cut (see Fig. 2), turn-around
position (see Fig. 3) and returned blade. It is turned on when the blade is at the home position and turned
off when the blade returns. The position where the detector is turned off from on after starting of the
movable blade is the turn-around position for partial cut.
