Abstract
Cutting device (1) for lengthwise cutting of a moving, flexible web (2) containing an initial knife pulley (4), a second knife pulley (6) and a cylinder (11) with a moving piston (13), said second knife pulley being adjustable relative to the first knife pulley subject to the compressive force from the piston to bring the edge of the second knife pulley (10) to work with the edge of the first knife pulley (9). According to the invention, the cutting device has a slide (14) that is situated between the second knife pulley and the cylinder, said slide being adjustable in the axial direction of the second knife pulley and connected to the piston to follow its movement, and in which slide the second knife pulley has been rotatively stored.
Claims8
A cutting device for lengthwise cutting of a moving web of a flexible material, said cutting device comprising an initial knife pulley, a second knife pulley and a cylinder that includes a moving piston in which the second knife pulley, in its axial direction and subject to a compressive force from the piston, is adjustable relative to the first knife pulley to bring the edge of the second pulley to work with the edge of the first pulley, wherein a slide is situated between the second knife pulley and the cylinder that is adjustable in the second knife pulley's axial direction and which is connected to the piston to follow its movement, and wherein the slide has a tube-shaped, axial opening, and the second knife pulley is mounted in a knife holder that includes a shaft that is rotatively mounted in said opening.
A method for cutting a moving web of a flexible material lengthwise with a cutting device, said cutting device containing an initial knife pulley, a second knife pulley, that is designed to work with the first knife pulley, a cylinder, containing a moving piston connected to the second knife pulley through a slide that is adjustable in the axial direction of the second knife pulley and has a tube-shaped, axial opening, wherein said second knife pulley is mounted in a knife holder that includes a shaft that is rotatively mounted in said opening in the slide, said method comprising, adjusting the compressive force between the edge of the initial knife pulley and the edge of the second knife pulley by transferring the compressive force of the piston through the slide, and advancing the moving web of flexible material lengthwise through the initial and second knife pulleys.
