摘要:
A machine which provides structure for continuously severing a main length of tubing being fed from a feeder means, such as an extruder, first cutting the advancing tubing into primary lengths, and, then, severing each of the primary lengths into a plurality of relatively short lengths. The machine includes a first reciprocally moving cutting station with support and guide means for moving it along the path of movement of advance of the tubular material. This station includes a cutter operable while the primary cutting station is moving in parallel and at a similar velocity to that of the advancing tube to cut a primary length from the advancing tube on each advanced stroke of the reciprocating primary cutter. The cutting machine also includes conveyor means and a secondary station for cutting each of the primary lengths into a plurality of relatively short secondary lengths which are the product of the machine.
