Abstract

A cutter for cutting a linear element includes a support frame, a pair of blade holders disposed opposite to each other and movably disposed on the support frame, a pair of blades facing each other and each disposed on one of the pair of blade holders, a pair of holding blocks facing each other and each disposed on one of the pair of blade holders, and a driving device disposed on the support frame. The driving device drives the pair of blade holders to move synchronously in a direction approaching each other or a direction separating away from each other. The pair of holding blocks clamp the linear element and the pair of blades cut off the linear element clamped by the pair of holding blocks while the pair of blade holders move synchronously in the direction approaching each other.
