摘要

An apparatus (20) for cutting a workpiece (100) includes a conveyor (30) for advancing the workpiece. A drive mechanism (26) is disposed above the conveyor (30) and is selectively moveable in one or more directions. A cutter (50) is attached to the drive mechanism (26) to move with the drive mechanism (26) relative to the conveyor (30). The cutter 50 is adapted to intermittently cut the workpiece (100) to form a pattern that comprises a plurality of sequential cut and uncut sections.
