LF700
Cutting blade.
The Knife supplied with the
LF700
is a D-Knife 30° Code 391-360
Lifespan will depend on the material being cut, synthetics are quite gentile on the knife, uncoated papers
have a higher ware rate but the media with the highest ware rate is ink jet receptive gloss.
Images of D-knives.
A. New Knife.
B. Used knife showing high ware, the ink jet gloss coating is more abrasive then the paper underneath.
Eventually the tip will snap off.
C. Worn knife, this has no tip left on this knife and will produce a very poor cut.
Waste Matrix Snaps.
Matrix rewind is threaded correctly, but sometimes the waste matrix is very thin and it snaps.
The
LF700
waste matrix removal only works correctly when certain conditions are met. Both the waste
matrix and the label rewind rotate at the same speed, it is therefore very important that when starting a new
cut job the new cores have the same wall thickness for both the rewinding of the waste and labels. This
helps to maintain the same pull off rate.
Waste thickness is important as with any waste removal system, the
LF700
is designed and tested to work
with a standard 6mm gutter (X-axis) and 3mm label gap (Y-axis) minimums on standard media.
Keeping to these parameters will ensure you are using the machine as intended and has been proven to work
reliability.
Poorly cut labels will also affect the way the waste is is taken away, if the cut pressure is incorrcetly set the
the stress on the waste may be too great, this will cause the waste to snap or labels to be peeled up with the
waste.
Pinch Roller Not Set.
The cam rollers should be moved so they click into
position in line with the indicators on the rail the
cutter head runs on. The machine may need restarting
once the rollers have been repositioned.
