POSITIONING
THE SERVO
CUTTER
1
Move the servo cutter into position. Place the servo cutter in position downstream of the belt puller.
CAUTION: Lifting
To avoid personal injury or damage to the cut- ter, lift the cutter using a forklift or hoist with straps that have been positioned at the cutter's center of gravity.
NOTE: If the slide base option was purchased, the cutting chamber can be slid back from the frame to allow ease of the string up procedure.

Determine the best distance from the belt puller to
the
●For flexible products, the cutter should be located as close to the puller as possible to insure a mini- mum amount of space for the product between the point of exit of the puller and the inlet to the cutter bushing for most flexible products.
●For rigid products, allow some deflection space between the puller and cutter. This will minimize product sag or excessive deflection during cutting which could affect the cut length accuracy.
As a general rule, place the cutter such that you feel no shock from the cut with your fingernail placed on the extrudate on the entrance of the puller. If you feel shock form the cut, simply allow more space between the cutter and puller.
