Abstract
A rotary die cutter having an anvil cylinder that is operable alternately with one of a pair of die cylinders includes a vertical support and rectilinear translation arrangement that permits selective repositioning of each of the die cylinders between an operative position and a stand-by position utilizing various combinations of horizontal and vertical linear movement of the cylinders. In the presently preferred embodiment, the supporting frames of all three cylinders, in operation, are in abutting contact and vertically aligned to assure that shock loads are directed vertically downwardly into the supporting base. The operator has direct access to each of the die cylinders for maintenance and order change from a single station positioned below the board line.
