Abstract:
A system for adjusting relative positions between a waste ejector and a rotating cutting cylinder in a rotary strip cutting machine,the cylinder having an axis of rotation, an outer surface and at least one needle that projects radially from the outer surface of the cylinder for retaining cutting waste, the ejector having a rectilinear part that extends parallel to the axis of rotation of the cylinder and is traversed by at least one slot through which the needle passes as the cylinder rotates, the system being comprised of: a supporting device, the supporting device including: a first part securable to a frame of the rotary cutting machine; a second part secured to the ejector and connected to the first part by a guide member that defines a transverse trajectory for relative movement between the first and second parts along a line that intersects the cylinder and permits adjustment of the position of an edge of the ejector relative to the surface of the cylinder; and an adjusting device that permits the second part to be positioned along the transverse trajectory, the guide member including an elastic element comprised of two parallel elastic strips interconnecting the two parts of the supporting device for prestressing the second part relative to the adjusting device.
