Furthermore, the device has a common upper knife bridge, which extends through the cutting stations. The upper knife bridge can be operated via a first drive in one stroke movement. At the upper knife bridge, at least the knives are attached to the leading edge trimming and the head and criticallyberough.
  • the products are transported by means of a transport device with head-side and foot-side conveyor belt pairs through the cutting stations of the device.
  • the drives for the lifting device and the transport device are each designed as independent, independent drives and connected to each other via control devices.
  • the drive for the head and foot conveyor belt pairs of the transport device each has independent, independent, position-controlled drives for each of the two conveyor belt pairs.
  • the drives of the head and foot side are acted upon by the control units or via a central machine control with motion profiles.
  • the motion profiles for the two pairs of bands can be the same or different. This makes it possible to control the transport of the product from cutting station to cutting station so that deliberately different transport paths are selected at the top and bottom of the product to achieve the desired cutting result.
  • a representative example of a cutting device 19 for edge trimming with separate drive devices according to the prior art is disclosed in US Pat Fig. 1A shown.
  • a first drive motor 1 realizes the movement of the upper blade bridge 2, to which the upper blades are attached.
  • the product running direction is indicated by arrows T.
  • a second drive motor 4 drives the belts 7, 8 of the transport system 9 via a first and second respectively continuous drive shaft 5, 6.
  • 4 control units 10, 11 are provided, which can communicate with each other by means of a connection for exchanging data and / or control signals 12. Furthermore, the connection 12 can also lead to a central machine control unit 18.
  • the essential elements of the two movements implementing drives are in the Fig. 1B recognizable.
  • the first drive motor 1 realized by means of the toothed belt 15, the toothed belt pulley 16 and the gear 17, the vertical inharmonic oscillation movement of the upper blade bridge 2.
  • the upper blade 3 are pressed during the cutting operation against lower blade 13.
  • the second drive motor 4 drives the shafts 5, 6 by means of a mechanical transmission 14, so that the belts 7, 8 of the transport system are moved.
  • the arrows T indicate the product running direction.
  • FIG. 3 a cutting device 20 according to the invention is shown, wherein in FIG. 3 For better clarity, only the head-side transport device is shown and the control units and the connections have been omitted.
  • the cutting device 20 has an upper knife bridge 25, which is offset by a drive motor 21 in strokes.
  • the upper knife bridge 25 extends through all the cutting stations, in the present example, there are three: the station 26 for the leading edge trimming, the station 27 for the head and Briefberough and another processing station 28 for special punches or for Depanelization.
  • the station 26 for the leading edge trimming
  • the station 27 for the head and
  • Another processing station 28 for special punches or for Depanelization.
  • At the upper knife bridge corresponding upper blade 29, 30, 31, 32 are mounted, which are moved against lower blade 33 and thus perform the edge trim or special punches orsocitrennung the product 40.
  • the product 40 is transported by a transport device 34 through the individual cutting stations 26, 27, 28 of the device 20.
  • the transport device 34 has head-side 35, 36 and foot-side conveyor belt pairs 37, 38, between which the product 40 is clamped.
  • the head-side conveyor belt pairs 35, 36 are driven by an independent drive motor 23 and the foot-side conveyor belt pairs by an independent drive motor 22nd
  • the individual independent drives 21, 22, 23 are coupled to one another via their associated control units 47, 48, 49 via a connection 50 for the exchange of data and / or control signals. Furthermore, they may additionally be connected to the central machine controller 51.
