Device for trimming the edges of tape materials containing inserts

Abstract

A device for trimming edges of belt materials containing inserts, especially nylon or steel corded belts, by cutting off an edge region of the belt material with a cutting device, which engages the belt material between the inserts, extending in the longitudinal direction (cutting direction) of the belt and is held in a seat, suspended so that it can swivel at a framework transversely to the conveying direction, corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the belt, of the belt material passed by it, wherein the axis of rotation of the swinging suspension is disposed at a carriage, which can be moved by a motor transversely to the plane of swiveling and a device is provided, which detects the deflection of the pendulum and, when a specified value is exceeded, causes the carriage to move in the direction of deflection.
