Claim Text:
1. A method for cutting fibre mats with a mechanical automatic tool, the mechanical automatic tool comprising a first set of fixing means, a second set of fixing means, at least one pressing beam and a cutting tool, the method comprising: securing the fibre mat onto the mechanical automatic tool using the first set and second set of fixing means to generate a first linear position of the fibre mat such that the fibre mat assumes a linear shape, activating the at least one pressing beam to position the fibre mat into a second angular position such that the fibre mat is at a pre-determined angle with respect to the cutting tool, the predetermined angle is between an angle greater than 0° and an angle less than 180°, the at least one pressing beam positioned between the first set of fixing means and the cutting tool, the pressing beam movable linearly along a first axis, the first axis positioned at an angle with respect to the first set of fixing means, wherein the second angular position of the fibre mat is set on the mechanical automatic tool by adjusting the position of the pressing beam, and wherein the predetermined angle of the fibre mat relative to the direction of movement and cutting of the cutting tool determines the angle of the cut, and effecting cutting of the fibre mat by linearly moving the cutting tool transversely of the width of the fibre mat.
