Damaged cutters
Cause:
- Clearance between the upper and lower cutter is too small – min. 1/100 mm.
- The bearings of the roller cutter have play → they need to be free of play!
- The roller cutter shaft is heating up differently
a) Something touches the roller cutter => slowly turn the roller cutter by hand
b) the bearing is heating up too much => bearing defect!
c) If you have an exchange roller cutter => the roller cutter shaft might not be fixed properly to the side.
→ or the roller cutter shaft is too tensely assembled!
