Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005091737
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A cutting/stripping apparatus, and methods of operation thereof, which include at least one first blade 138 for rotary motion about the central axis of a multi-layered workpiece, and at least two, second members/blades 118 and 119 reciprocally movable along essentially linear axes, toward and away from the one another while remaining equally spaced on opposite sides of the central axis. The general structure of the apparatus may be a single, orbiting blade to provide cutting of the outer layer about its entire periphery and a pair of members movable toward and away from one another to engage the outer layer. The pair of members may have linear, opposed edges, or may have V-shaped or radiused (curved) cutting edges. Electronic controls 48 and software, together with selective operator inputs which define operation of the apparatus, permit cutting the outer layer of the workpiece by either the rotary blade or the reciprocating blades.
