Cutting Unit For Labelling Machines

A cutting unit for cutting labels from a label film in labelling machines, comprising

• a rotary blade drum and
• a stationary blade assembly, the said stationary blade assembly comprising a substantially U-shaped monolithic body having a movable portion, and a fixed portion facing said movable portion and linked thereto by a linking portion forming a U-shaped groove therebetween,
• wherein the movable portion of the monolithic body comprises an adjustable support for a blade, protruding from the end of the movable portion, that is proximal to the linking portion, a projecting element defined by said adjustable support, the said blade being connected to said projecting element.

A stationary blade assembly for a cutting unit in labelling machines, comprising an adjustable support for a bar-like blade, wherein the adjustable support provides for the punctual regulation of said bar-like blade along its length with respect to irregularities or defects of its cutting edge, wherein a plurality of actuator means are provided for the adjustment of adjustable support, and wherein the actuator means are remotely operated.
