Abstract

A cutter-infeed apparatus for cutting installations for articles in tape or strip form or film-like articles, circular cutters being fastened on upper and lower shafts and displaced with respect to one another for fixing the cutter infeed, and an electrical insulation between the upper and lower shafts making it possible to detect the cutter contact during infeeding and thereby make the infeeding operation automatable. It is also possible to make the infeeding of the individual cutters or cutter-box cutters such that it can be set depending on the difference in speed of the upper and lower shafts. The apparatus can be used for cutting machines of all types in which thin, uncoated or coated polymer films or metal foils can be cut.
