Abstract
A cutting apparatus and method are disclosed for making an anti-tamper device of a closing capsule of a container, in which the capsule is fed to a cutting device whilst the capsule is retained between a locking member and a base opposite the locking member, with an annular abutment that is arranged around a rotation axis of the locking member and which is moved from a insertion position in the capsule, before the capsule is cut, to an abutment position, in which the abutment presses the capsule against the cutting device, the abutment being rotatable around a rotation axis that, when the abutment is in the abutment position, is misaligned with respect to the rotation axis of the locking member.
