Abstract
A cutting system for slabs which includes a longitudinal guide having a pair of surfaces opposite to each other, the pair made up of a lower surface and an opposite upper surface, a suction cup coupled to the lower surface of the longitudinal guide suitable to selectively adhere to a slab and defining a contact surface of the longitudinal guide on the slab, the longitudinal guide further including a pair of rails parallel to each other coupled to the upper surface of the longitudinal guide and suitable for slidably coupling to a scoring slider. The rails are arranged on opposite sides with respect to a median plane of the suction cup perpendicular to the contact surface thereof.

A manual cutting system for slabs comprising:
- a scoring slider;
- a longitudinal guide constituted by a single longitudinal bar comprising a pair of surfaces opposite to each other, the pair of surfaces comprising a lower surface and an opposite upper surface, the opposite upper surface comprising a pair of rails parallel to each other, the scoring slider being slidably coupled to the pair of rails;
- at least one suction cup rigidly engaged with the lower surface of the longitudinal guide, and configured to selectively adhere to a slab, and defining a planar contact surface for the longitudinal guide on the slab,
- at least one gripping component engaged with the upper surface of the longitudinal guide between the pair of rails and coupled to a respective one of the at least one suction cup, for manually operating the at least one suction cup between a slab gripping condition, in which the at least one suction cup adheres to the slab, and a slab rest condition, in which the at least one suction cup releases the slab;
- wherein the rails are arranged on opposite sides with respect to a median plane passing through the at least one suction cup perpendicular to the contact surface of the at least one suction cup,
- wherein the median plane is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the longitudinal guide;
- and
- wherein the scoring slider comprises a slider body, at least two rollers coupled with the pair of rails of the longitudinal guide, and a scoring component, wherein the scoring component comprises a scoring wheel rotatable about a rotation axis orthogonal to the median plane of the at least one suction cup.
