Verfahren und Vorrichtungen der eingangs genannten Art werden im Stand der Technik (US-A-3 916 763) dazu benutzt, um Schläuche allgemeiner Art auf vorherbestimmte Längen zuzuschneiden. Eine aus mindestens einem Vorschubrad gebildete Vorschubeinrichtung ist dabei so ausgelegt, um Schläuche mit sowohl glatter als auch wellenförmig ausgebildeter Außenhaut so zu positionieren, daß der Schlauch mittels der Schneideeinrichtung in Teilstücke mit vorgegebener Länge schneidbar ist. Es hat sich dabei jedoch gezeigt, daß ein genaues Positionieren eines Schlauches, das durch Zusammenwirken eines meist optischen Sensors, der eine relative Position eines Schlauchendes zur Schneideeinrichtung sensiert, mit der Positioniereinrichtung, die den Schlauch innerhalb der Vorrichtung mittels der aus mindestens einem Vorschubrad gebildeten Vorschubeinrichtung zum Zweck des Schneidens des Schlauches lateral verschiebt und anschließend fixiert, erreicht wird, für viele Anwendungen zu ungenau ist. Dieser Nachteil der herkömmlichen Vorrichtungen ist unter Beibehaltung des herkömmlichen Positioniervorganges nur mit einem erheblichen Kostenaufwand über numerische Steuerungen erreichbar.Methods and devices of the type mentioned are used in the prior art (US-A-3 916 763) to make hoses general cut to predetermined lengths. One formed from at least one feed wheel Feed device is designed to take hoses with both smoother and wavy ones Position the outer skin in such a way that the hose can be positioned using Cutting device into sections with a given length is cuttable. However, it has been shown that a accurate positioning of a hose that through Interaction of a mostly optical sensor, the one relative position of a hose end to Cutting device senses with the Positioning device that the hose inside the Device by means of at least one feed wheel formed feed device for the purpose of cutting the Laterally displaced and then fixed, is too imprecise for many applications. This Disadvantage of the conventional devices is under Maintaining the conventional positioning process only with a considerable expense through numerical controls reachable.
