Claims14
A device for processing a flexible sheet, comprising:
- a worktop for placement thereon of a flexible sheet to be processed,
- a cutter provided above the worktop, and
- a cross-beam for positioning the cutter on the flexible sheet and moving it along a straight processing line in a plane of the flexible sheet,
- wherein the device further comprises a rotatable arm for setting an orientation of the straight processing line as desired;
- and
- wherein the rotatable arm is coupled to the cutter for moving the cutter in the longitudinal direction of the arm, and wherein the arm extends in a plane substantially parallel to an upper surface of the worktop and is rotatable about an axis that extends substantially perpendicular thereto.
A method for processing a flexible sheet, comprising:
- placing a flexible sheet on a worktop;
- providing a cutter;
- positioning the cutter on the flexible sheet;
- processing the flexible sheet along a straight processing line in a plane of the flexible sheet using the cutter;
- setting the orientation of the processing line as desired;
- and
- clamping the flexible sheet between the upper surface of the worktop and a clamp provided on the cutter.
