Abstract

Perfection in machines for the cutting of ceramic pieces, of the kind in which a first cutting station sectioned, from a green bar formed by an extruder, lengths corresponding to a determined whole number of pieces to be obtained, whose pieces are advanced rapidly, one by one to a second station, where they are divided by a plurality of arches in the corresponding number of pieces while the green bar continues its uniform advance, essentially characterized by the fact that the second cutting station is equipped with conveyor and support means able to receive at one end the piece of green bar cut in the first station and move to the other end cut pieces, whose means have a support surface aligned with the corresponding entry and exit of the machine and are associated with drive devices to move them intermittently to a pos lower ion; auxiliary support means disposed on either side of the conveyor means, capable of supporting the longitudinal edges of the piece of green bar in the elevated position of the conveyors and associated with drive means to move them alternately from one side of the latter to the opposite when they are in their lower operating position, to replace the support of the bar piece; a plurality of cutting arket devices, associated with the support means so as to move therewith through the piece of bar by dividing it into pieces, and stop means located on either side of the conveyor means and associated with devices of drive that place them in active position to form stop for the piece of bar, alternately on the side to which the cutting devices and auxiliary supports are directed in each cutting operation.
