Device for Processing of Materials by Cutting and Cutting Unit with Oscillating Cutting Knife and Variable Cutting Angle of Inclination

Abstract

A device is disclosed for cutting material on a material supporting surface. The device has at least one cutting unit, which can be motor-driven in a controlled manner above the material supporting surface in the direction of the X- and Y-axes of a Cartesian coordinate system that is parallel to the material supporting surface, and has an oscillation drive and a cutting knife. The oscillation drive sets the cutting knife into linear oscillations along an oscillation axis that is perpendicular to the advancing direction of the cutting knife. In order to be able to produce slanting cuts or V-grooves in the material with the oscillating cutting knife, the oscillating drive with the cutting knife is pivotable around a pivot axis that is parallel to the material supporting surface for changing the angle of inclination of the oscillation axis with respect to the material supporting surface.
