Abstract

A method for cutting to length a strip-shaped profiled member of unvulcanized rubber material by a cutting edge includes the step of providing a speed between the cutting edge and the profiled member to be cut of at least 2.5 m/s during the cutting action. The device for carrying out the method includes a carriage and a tool with a cutting edge fastened to the carriage. The carriage has an acceleration path, defined between a rest position of the carriage and a side of the profiled member facing the carriage, of between 0.2 and 1 m. The carriage has a deceleration path, defined between an oppositely arranged side of the profiled member and an end position of the carriage, of at least 0.1 m.
