2.1.5 Tape Automatic Half Cutter Mechanism When the control plate in the half cutter chassis is moved back and forth, the amount how much the cutter blade bites into the tape is changed to switch between half cutter and full cutter. The cutter moving gear is rotated according to the rotation of the tape control motor so that the tape pressure is moved back and forth through the tape control crank and tape control link. The amount how much the cutter blade bites into the tape between the tape pressure and control plate is decided depending on the amount how much the tape pressure presses the control plate. For half cutter, the tape is cut so that only the peeling line is remained as shown in Fig. Tape ejected direction Tape pressure Tape control link Spring Control plate Half cutter chassis Cutter moving gear Sparator Tape control crank Tape control motor Tape Cut line Fig. 2.1-6 Tape Automatic Half Cutter Mechanism II-7

2.1.5
Tape Automatic Half Cutter Mechanism
When the control plate in the half cutter chassis is moved back and forth, the amount how
much the cutter blade bites into the tape is changed to switch between half cutter and full
cutter.
The cutter moving gear is rotated according to the rotation of the tape control motor so that the
tape pressure is moved back and forth through the tape control crank and tape control link.
The amount how much the cutter blade bites into the tape between the tape pressure and
control plate is decided depending on the amount how much the tape pressure presses the
control plate.
For half cutter, the tape is cut so that only the peeling line is remained as shown in Fig.
