Method and apparatus for cutting laminated sheet

摘要

A method and apparatus for making consistent cuts partially through a laminated sheet such as an adhesive tape without requiring high precision control of the cutter cutting depth are provided. An adhesive tape (10) is placed on flexible member (23) with a backing paper side in contact with a flexible member (23), and the adhesive tape (10) is held immobile on the flexible member (23). A cutter (32) having a bevelled cutting edge is then pressed into the flexible member (23) with the leading edge of the cutting edge descending to a specific cutting depth, and the cutter (32) is moved relative to the adhesive tape (10) to cut only a base tape not a backing paper of the adhesive tape (10).
