CUTTING A LAMINATED PRODUCT TO LENGH ANF REMOVING SELVAGE FROM A RESIDUAL LAMINATE

摘要

A method of manufacturing an assembly (10) that includes forming a component (11) having a first surface (18), bonding to the first surface a carrier strip (20) having a second surface (22) coated with adhesive, bonding a protective liner (26) to the second surface, cutting through the component and the carrier strip, forming a relatively short tab (38) of the component and carrier strip secured by the protective layer, and removing the tab from the protective layer allowing a portion of the protective layer to extend beyond the end of the remaining assembly. An apparatus including a work surface, a blade (3), and a pawl (40) pivotably supported about an axis (42) and displace toward the work surface.
