Factors Affecting The Safe Use Of Paper Cutters

The safety of the paper cutter is a problem that many digital printing practitioners tend to ignore. The following aspects affect the safe use of the paper cutter:
1. Braking device. In order to save money, many manufacturers adopt the principle of circuit braking, that is, cut off the power supply of the cutter motor through the upper and lower limit sensors to brake. This kind of device may cause "knife slipping" in the case of sudden power failure, loose socket, sensor failure, etc. extremely dangerous situation. In order to prevent this situation from happening, it is necessary to use a motor assembly with a mechanical brake device, so that no matter what circuit failure occurs, the motor is locked to avoid accidents.
2. Two-button operating principle. This requires the two buttons to be pressed at the same time, otherwise the cutter motor will not move, which can ensure the absolute safety of single-person operation.
3. In the actual use process, two people often cooperate to operate, so the situation becomes very dangerous, which requires the paper cutter to be equipped with front and rear safety covers. When the safety cover is opened, the motor will not move, ensuring safety.
4. The above are the safety factors that affect the use process, so when replacing the blade during maintenance and maintenance, use a knife holder to ensure that the blade edge is closed, which not only ensures the safety of the person, but also ensures that the edge is not damaged.
5. Furthermore, the removed blade must not be left at will to avoid hurting people.
