Abstract:
1. A method for transfer cutting a strip-shaped rubber member, comprising the steps of: transferring the strip-shaped rubber member onto a belt conveyor by a transfer unit moving the strip-shaped rubber member in a longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped rubber member while holding a tip portion thereof, the strip-shaped rubber member being at an inclination with respect to the belt conveyor, the belt conveyor including a belt running in a longitudinal direction of the belt conveyor; cutting off a sheet piece from the strip-shaped rubber member by a cutting unit cutting the strip-shaped rubber member on the belt conveyor in the longitudinal direction of the belt conveyor at one width-direction side of the belt conveyor, yielding a cut-off sheet piece; and transporting, by the belt conveyor, the cut-off sheet piece in the longitudinal direction of the belt conveyor, wherein at a time of transfer of the strip-shaped rubber member by the transfer unit, a support member is lifted by a lifting/lowering unit to project from a conveying surface of the belt, the support member being provided at one width-direction side of the belt and being projectable from the conveying surface of the belt, so that the strip-shaped rubber member is raised from the conveying surface of the belt.
