Abstract
A strand cutting apparatus includes a fixed blade,having a blade edge extending perpendicularly with respect to the traveling direction of a strand, and a rotation blade,which is fixed to the tip portion of a rotation shaft,extending perpendicularly to the blade edge of the fixed blade,and has a plurality of plate-shaped blades,disposed radially at a front surface,The rotation shaft,is supported by a supporting member,through a bearing mechanism,so as to be freely rotatable. The supporting member,is opposed to the one side of the fixed blade,with a clearance therebetween. The supporting member,is guided by a pair of guide plates,so as to be movable freely and linearly along the same direction as the axial direction of the rotation shaft,The rotation blade,is moved linearly to this same direction together with the supporting member,to adjust a clearance between the blade edge,of the fixed blade,and the blade edges,of the plate-shaped blades,and then the supporting member can be fixed by using stop bolts
