VORRICHTUNG, SYSTEM UND VERFAHREN ZUM ABSCHNEIDEN VON FASERBÜNDELN

摘要

A cutting apparatus to cut a tow includes a tow support, first blade, and tow support deflector. The tow support supports the tow. The first blade cuts the tow. The tow support deflector is disposed in cooperative alignment with the first blade to exert a deflecting force upon the tow support. The deflecting force substantially prevents the first blade from striking the tow support.
