Device and process for the production of gasket layers

Abstract

In order to provide a device for the production of gasket layers for single or multiple layered gaskets from one respective gasket layer section of a starting material comprising several continuous gasket layer sections, comprising a follow-on combination tool with several machining stations which follow one another along a direction of feed and in which the gasket layer sections are machined during operating cycles, wherein at least one of the machining stations is designed as a station for cutting outer contour lines, in which facing outer contour lines of two adjacent gasket layers are cut by means of a tool for cutting outer contour lines, and a feeding device, by means of which the gasket layer sections are moved further along the direction of feed by a feed distance v between two operating cycles, with which the outer contour lines of the gasket layers are cut with less resources and the starting material can be better utilized it is suggested that the tool for cutting outer contour lines be designed such that the outer contour lines of the two adjacent gasket layers are cut with the same cutting edge and that the feed distance v be essentially the same as the extension b of the outer contour of a finished gasket layer or a group of finished gasket layers along the direction of feed.
