ABSTRACT:
A rotary cutter for a printing press directs a web between a knife cylinder and an opposed anvil cylinder. The outer surface of the knife cylinder mounts one or more knife blade assemblies each having a sandwich construction. Each assembly includes at least one and usually two blades separated by a spacer bar. The assembly also includes a perforator blade and an ejector bar located on opposite sides of the spacer bar and set in recesses formed on the sides of the spacer bar. The perforator blade has laterally spaced sets of chisel-like teeth that impale trim pieces cut by the blades. The ejector bar reciprocates radially within the assembly to remove the trim piece from the teeth. The assembly is held together by two sets of bolts that allow the location of the blades to be set independently. A set of half rings each carrying radially projecting locating dowels are nested in circumferential grooves formed in the knife cylinder. Each ring is aligned against locating pins mounted in the knife cylinder. The knife assembly preferably includes a convex alignment surface that abuts an associated dowel in a point-to-point contact to locate the blade assembly on the knife cylinder accurately and easily.
