Abstract:
A device for cutting a fiber cable comprising:a rotatably driven cutter supporting member; a rotary positioned pressing ring that is positioned at an incline relative to the cutter supporting member and that extends into an annular channel that runs along the outer edge of the cutter supporting member; a holding device that can be released from the cutter supporting member, said holding device comprising: a ring-shaped cutter receiving member for holding a plurality of cutting blades arranged radially to the cutter supporting member; and an inner ring and an outer ring alternately placeable within the cutter receiving member, said outer ring having a larger diameter than said inner ring, wherein when said inner ring is positioned within the cutter receiving member, the cutting blades are supported in a radially outward position, wherein when said outer ring is positioned within the cutter receiving member, the cutting blades are supported in a radially inward position; in the radial direction and allows the cutting blades to radially move, said supporting ring being replaceable and being formed by an outer ring enclosing the cutting blades or by an inner ring enclosing the cutting blades; wherein the annular channel is penetrated by the plurality of cutting blades; and wherein the cutting blades have a blade width that is larger than a cutting width determined by the width of the annular channel, such that different portions of said cutting blades are positioned in the annular channel when switching said inner and outer rings.
