Extruded material that has been sized and cooled enters the cutter from the upstream side (See How the SC-5 Sure Cut Works, Section 2, step 1). Typically, a puller is placed just before the cutter; the puller pulls the extrudate through the sizing and/or cooling tanks and feeds it into the cutter.

The positional servo motor, is direct coupled to the cutter head, or an in-line planetary gear reducer that drives the cut- ter head. The planetary gear reducer arrangement increases cutting torque, improves servo motor efficiency, and offers improved bearing load ratings.

The cutting knife, attached to the cutter head, is driven by the servo motor (See How the SC-5 Sure Cut Works, Section 2, step 2). Two cutter bushings guide and support both the extrudate and the cutting knife. The cutter head is mounted directly to the in-line planetary gear reducer shaft using a B- Loc coupling device, and may have as many as four optional blade positions. See Installation and Removal of B-Loc, Section 5.

Two types of cutting modes are available. On-demand cut- ting modes (Timer, Encoder, Auto and Product) provide a single rotation cut cycle. However, in continuous cutting modes (Flywheel and Optional Follower) the cutting mecha- nism rotates continuously.

The knife guard includes a stainless steel lower tray, which can be used for blade lubrication. The upper knife guard includes a clear polycarbonate window. This allows you to watch the cutting blade during operation.

Cut pieces are collected or carried on to further processing by an optional conveyor (See How the SC-5 Sure Cut Works, Section 2, step 3).
