The micro cassette style slitting system employs ridged side frames, allowing for the removal of the top and bottom knife shafts without the use of any tools and the offline setup with DIENES spring incorporated top knives* and bottom knives as well as the corresponding spacers. The vertical knife overlap and horizontal knife contact is achieved with a mechanical actuator design and dial indicator readouts. As a result repeatable knife overlap and knife side-load forces are possible. Pivoting, rubber coated idler rolls located at the entry and exit sides allow for a tangential as well as wrapped cutting geometry depending upon the web material to be processed.

In addition optional electronically operated, Acrylic self-locking  safety guarding and knife shaft drive are available. Because of the modular design features, tighter manufacturing tolerances can be maintained and accumulative tooling tolerances are virtually eliminated.
