Abstract
An apparatus for cutting a coil conductor in which a halted conductor wire 2 to be formed into a coil is severed by cutting edges 5A, 5B, while simultaneously advancing the cutting edges downstream in the feed direction of the wire. Thus, a pushing back force against the conductor wire and its attendant deformation is prevented when cutting it, whereby the dimensions of the conductor wire are stabilized.
Claims10
A cutter apparatus for a coil conductor, comprising:
- a) means (3) for linearly infeeding a predetermined length of a coil conductor (2) to be cut, and for then halting said coil conductor;
- b) cutting means (10A, 10B, 11A, 11B) having linearly reciprocating cutting edges (5A, 5B) which cut the coil conductor when said coil conductor has been halted;
- and
- c) means for preventing the cutting edges from push-camming an end of the coil conductor while being severed in an upstream direction, said preventing means comprising means (12, 13, 14) acting in synchronism with an inward reciprocation movement of the cutting edges for advancing said cutting means, and attendantly said cutting edges, in a direction downstream of said infed coil conductor and parallel thereto when cutting said coil conductor by said cutting means.

A cutter apparatus for a coil conductor, comprising:
- a) means (3) for linearly infeeding a predetermined length of a coil conductor (2) to be cut, and for then halting said coil conductor;
- b) cutting means having a pair of linearly reciprocable cutting edges (60A, 60B) which cut the coil conductor when said coil conductor has been halted;
- c) means for preventing the cutting edges from push-camming an end of the coil conductor while being severed in an upstream direction, said preventing means comprising:
- 1) a pair of guide members (61A, 61B) for individually accommodating and guiding said cutting edges, said guide members being disposed on opposite sides of said coil conductor and at an acute angle with respect to a direction of infeed of said coil conductor;
- and
- 2) a pair of driving means for synchronously reciprocating said cutting edges in axial directions of said guide members.
