Abstract: A method, a cutting device and an apparatus wherein, at cusp-shaped recesses obtained by die cutting on a ribbon in order to obtain pouches with rounded corners, the ribbon is cut transversely by means of at least two strokes of a blade. A relative translation is performed, between the first stroke and the second stroke, between the cutting plane and the ribbon substantially along a feeding direction of the ribbon, so as to level with the second stroke any cutting defects of the first stroke in the region of the recess.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a cable, particularly for medium or high voltage electrical power transmission or distribution, said process comprising the step of making at least one coating of said cable from an oriented thermoplastic polymeric material, said thermoplastic polymeric material comprising a homopolymer of propylene or a copolymer of propylene and selected olefinic comonomer. In detail, this process comprises the steps of feeding at least one conductor of said cable to an extruding machine, extruding said at least one coating into a position radially external to said at least one conductor, orienting said at least one coating during said extrusion step. The present invention also relates to a cable, particularly for medium or high voltage electrical power transmission or distribution, provided with a coating of oriented thermoplastic polymeric material.
