Claims
- 1. A method for cutting a continuous infed paper web in an apparatus comprising a transverse cutter arrangement (5, 6) having a stationary, non-driven bottom blade (6) cooperable with an upper blade (5) which is driven by a linear motor and an armature (7a, 5), the armature (7a, 5) comprising the upper blade (5), the method comprising the steps of:a) vibrating the upper blade in a movement back and forth during a period at least until a cutting stroke is applied; b) holding the infed paper web in a position where a cutting stroke has to be applied; and c) triggering the cutting stroke at one of (A) an upper reversal point of the movement of the upper blade (5), and (B) shortly after an upper reversal point of the movement of the upper blade (5).
- 2. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the linear motor comprises a stator (7c) with a magneto coil (7d) and an armature (7a, 5) interacting with the stator (7c), the armature (7a, 5) comprising the upper blade (5) and a permanent magnet (7a), andwherein the vibration of the upper blade (5) and the execution of the cutting stroke is achieved by applying the required motor currents to the magnetic coil (7d) of the stator (7c).
- 3. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the frequency of the vibration ranges from 500 to 1500 Hz.
- 4. A method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the amplitudes of the vibration are on the order of up to 1 mm.
- 5. A method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the duration of the vibration is in a range of 5 to 10 msec.
- 6. A method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the cutting stroke is initiated during the vibrating step at one of (A) the point at which the blade reverses directions from travelling away from the paper web to travelling toward the paper web, and (B) shortly thereafter.
- 7. A method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the stator (7c) comprises a magneto coil (7d) and the armature (7a, 5) comprises the upper blade (5) and a permanent magnet (7a), and wherein the vibration of the upper blade (5) and the execution of the cutting stroke is achieved by applying the required motor currents to the magnetic coil (7d) of the stator (7c).
- 8. A method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the duration of the vibration is in a range of 5 to 10 msec.
- 9. A method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising vibrating the blade toward and away from the paper web with an amplitude that is small enough so as to avoid contact between the blade and the paper web.
