Separating device for an assembly line type production line

A device for separating insulating materials comprising mineral wool, supplied in a continuous production process, into determinable lengths, comprising the following features:

• a) the separating of the material is performed by way of two circular saw blades, which are suspended in a pendular manner between lateral edges of the transporting belt via respective pendulum units from a carriage above a transporting belt and movable in a non-circular path, and wherein the circular saw blades are driven separately, and the two circular saw blades are coplanar,
• b) the position of the pendulum units and saw blades can be adjusted by way of the carriage in a direction in which material is supplied,
• c) each of a drive of the carriage, a drive of the saw blades, a drive of the pendulum units and a drive of the transporting belt is performed by way of servomotors,
• d) a lowering of the transporting belt in a running plane of the saw blades is performed by a deflecting unit, wherein the deflecting unit is connected to the carriage and moves synchronously with the saw blades,
• e) a material separating operation is controlled automatically in accordance with a cutting performance of the separating device and an advancing rate of material inflow, and
• f) the saw blades move on a path describing a double cycloid curve.
