Cutting system for cutting profiles in air-permeable and resilient materials and method

摘要

A cutting system for cutting profiles in a strip of air-permeable material. The system includes a conveyor path to support the strip of material. A profile cutting tool mounted for movement toward and away from the conveyor path is provided to cut a desired profile across the strip. A hold down is located in proximity to the profile cutting tool to hold the strip of material in position during cutting. A controller is connected to the cutter for activating the cutter to cut the desired profile.
