<p>A self-adjusting fiber cutter for cutting lengths of fibers such as glass roving and the like into short lengths. The cutter section of the fiber cutter includes fluidic means for biasing roller means of the cutter section into engagement with another roller means of the cutter section to thereby compensate for wear experienced by the fiber cutter and to facilitate loading and unloading of fibers. The fiber cutter has a low start-up torque to minimize jamming of the fiber cutter at start-up. The pressure roller means of the fiber cutter is eccentrically mounted to compensate for possible inconsistencies in fabrication tolerances between several of the roller means of the fiber cutter.</p> |
