A cutting device for cutting a band-like material, in particular a tacky cord
- band, comprising two blade elements interacting with one another for the
- cutting, each blade element being arranged on a blade support, which in turn
- is arranged directly or indirectly on a device framework, wherein at least one
- oscillation sensor is provided, by way of which oscillation information which is
- a measure of an oscillation of the blade elements produced by the interaction
- of the blade elements during a cut can be acquired, and in that a processing
- device, designed for determining on the basis of the oscillation information
- wear information indicating the state of one or both blade elements, and also a
- display device, for outputting wear information determined, are provided.
