  • Patent number: 10016823
    Abstract: A machine for cutting a moving object comprises a conveyor belt for carrying the object along an advancement direction at a line speed and comprises a driving and cutting unit configured to move in a cutting cycle according to a forward phase in order to perform the cutting of the moving object, and configured to move according to a return phase in order to return into the initial position of the cutting cycle. The cutting machine further comprises a processing unit configured to generate a driving signal for controlling the movement of the driving and cutting unit 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.

  • Publication number: 20150082954
    Abstract: A method for cutting manufactured articles (M) comprises steps of advancing a manufactured article (M) along an advancement direction (A) at a predetermined speed; predisposing a cutting device (3) associated with the manufactured article (M) and movable along the advancement direction (A); advancing the cutting device (3); synchronizing the speed of advancement of the cutting device (3) with the speed of advancement of the manufactured article (M); activating the cutting device (3); retracting the cutting device (3); the steps of synchronising and activating the cutting device (3) are comprised between the advancement step and a corresponding retracting step in order to define a cutting cycle of the manufactured article (M). The cutting cycle comprises further steps of re-synchronising the speed of advancement of the cutting device (3) with the speed of advancement of the manufactured article (M).
