DocuCutter 545
Slitting
Standard configuration provides for five Slitters used in
the DocuCutter DC-545. An optional sixth slitter is
available. The five factory provided slitters are called:
• Right Margin Slitter
• Left Margin Slitter
• Center Left Slitter
• Center Right Slitter
• Option 1 Slitter
Two DC Slitter Drive Motors provide cutting energy to
each of the Slitters:
• One DC Slitter Drive Motor provides cutting energy for
the Left Margin Slitter and Right Margin Slitter
• One DC Slitter Drive Motor provides cutting energy for
the Center Left Slitter, Center Right Slitter, and the
Center Slitter.
Cutting Surfaces
Each Slitter consists of a two beveled edge cutting
wheels. Much like a pair of scissors, the two pieces
working together produce a fine cut. Furthermore, the
design provides for high performance with long life
characteristics (1,500,000 sheets).
Cutting Drive
The Slitter’s two cutting wheels are independently driven
by gear driven shafts. The hub of each wheel has a
removable key while the driving shafts have key-ways
located throughout the drive shafts length.
NOTE Use caution while removing the Cutter Units as the keys
can easily fall out.
