METHOD FOR CUTTING A PLANAR PRINTING PLANE

摘要

A method for cutting a planar printing plane. The method belongs to the field of cutting a planar printing plane, such as a sheet or a plate, following a pattern previously printed on the printing substrate. The method includes: detecting (155) at least one sequence of points characteristic of the geometry of a cutting outline on the basis of cutting marks; allocating (156) each detected characteristic point to at least one cutting outline; searching characteristic elements (outline edge, outline corner) of the outline on the basis of the characteristic points; and translating (164) the cutting outline into vectorial information for generating a cutting program of at least one cutting outline.
