  • Publication number: 20110072945
    Abstract: A cutting unit for trimming sheet material is provided. The cutting unit includes a bed for supporting the sheet material, a guillotine cutting device including a knife arm pivotally mounted on the bed, and a rotary cutting device mounted on the bed. The rotary cutting device includes a guide bar, a knife carriage displaceable along the guide bar, and a circular knife rotatably mounted in the knife carriage. The knife arm and the rotary cutting device are mounted on opposite sides of the planar bed relative to one another and are operable to permit parallel trimming of opposite sides of the sheet material when the sheet material is supported on the planar bed. The guide bar selectively pivots toward and away from the bed against action of a spring to define a lower cutting position so that the cutting operation may be performed and an upper initial position whereby the guide bar pivots away from said bed for inserting paper for said cutting operation.
