The invention relates to a cutting machine, in particular for cutting passepartouts to size by means of a blade (21) arranged on a cutting head (8). The cutting head (8) can be displaced by means of a drive in at least two axes. The cutting-to-size of passepartouts requires a vertical cutting angle (B-B) and an inclined cutting angle (C-C) in order to provide the passepartout cutout with the, in the main, usual bevel cut. In order to adjust the blade (21) from the first cutting angle (B-B) into the second cutting angle (C-C) or vice versa, the cutting head (8) is run up against a stop (17) arranged on the cutting machine and is brought into contact in such a way that a swivellable element (20) carrying the blade (21) is swivelled from one into the other cutting angle (B-B, C-C). This adjustment can thus take place in an automatically controlled manner, without an additional drive being required for this.
A cutting machine with at least one cutting head (8), which is displaceable in at least two axes (X, Y), characterised by at least one blade (21) mounted with respect to the cutting head (8) in a swivelling manner relative to a cutting angle (B-B, C-C), wherein this blade (21) is orientated, in at least one swivelling position, at an inclined cutting angle (C-C) to a support (7) accommodating the object to be cut, with the purpose of being able to perform a bevel cut.
A method for the operation of a cutting machine with at least one cutting head (8), which is displaceable in at least two axes (X, Y) and with at least one blade (21) mounted with respect to the cutting head (8) in a swivelling manner relative to a cutting angle (B-B, C-C), wherein this blade (21) is orientated, in at least one swivelling position, at an inclined cutting angle (C-C) to a support (7) accommodating the object to be cut, with the purpose of being able to perform a bevel cut, characterised in that, for the purpose of adjusting a swivelling position of a blade (21) from a first cutting angle (B-B) into a second cutting angle (C-C) and/or vice versa, a cutting head (8) carrying the blade (21) and displaceable in at least two axes (X, Y) is run up against a stop (17) arranged on the cutting machine and is brought into contact in such a way that the blade (21) or a swivellable element (20) carrying the latter is swivelled from one into the other cutting angle (B-B, C-C).
