Machine for machining a moving object

Method for machining a moving object, comprising the steps of:

• a) providing conveyor means for carrying the object along an advancement direction at a line speed;
• b) providing a driving and cutting unit for performing the cutting of the moving object;
• c) moving the driving and cutting unit according to a forward phase along a direction parallel to the advancement direction with the same direction as the conveyor means direction in order to perform the cut of the moving object;
• d) moving the driving and cutting unit, in a return phase subsequent to the forward phase, along the direction parallel to the advancement direction with an direction opposite to the conveyor means direction in order to return to the initial position of the cutting cycle and with an acceleration trend wherein the maximum absolute value of the acceleration within the return phase is smaller than the maximum absolute value of the acceleration within the forward phase.
