PRINT CUTTING SYSTEM

摘要

A cutting system ( 100 ) has a plurality of cutting devices ( 110 ) joined to a frame ( 120 ) at different locations within a cutting width ( 102 ) of a print transport path ( 104 ). Each of the cutting devices is movable between a first position to cut the print ( 70 ) as it is moved along the transport path and a second position with the cutter ( 112 ) removed from the transport path and each of the cutting devices has a contact surface ( 150 ) that moves the cutting device between the first position and second position when engaged. A cam ( 130 ) is movably mounted to the frame proximate to the cutting devices and extending across the cutting width of the print transport path, having sets of lobes ( 160, 162, 164, 166 ) arranged at a plurality of positions on an outer surface of the cam so that the lobes ( 156 ) in each set engage selected ones of the contact surfaces in a manner that causes selected ones of the cutting devices to be moved to the first position and so that movement of the cam to a different position causes a different set of lobes to engage the contact surfaces.
