(57) An apparatus for cutting ribbons from rolls of textile fabrics made of heat weldable
yarns is disclosed, essentially comprising means (1, 2, 4, 5, 6) for unwinding the
fabric with a controlled adjustable tension, means for controlling and synchronizing
speed of the fabric driving rollers, means (63, 64, 68) for automatic pneumatic centering
of fabric fed to rotary cutters, means for removing electrostatic charges present
on the fabric surface and finally means for controlling pick up and winding tension
of the cut ribbons and selvedges. This apparatus avoids jamming and entanglement of
the ribbons, does not require the constant control of an operator, carries out the
cutting operation at high speed, still maintaining a high degree of precision and
reliability.
Figure 1 of the drawings illustrates the general structure and the main features of
the apparatus.
