Abstract

An apparatus for cutting stacked sheet-like material has a table surface which includes an entry zone for receiving the material to be cut, a working zone above which a cutting blade and press beam are located, as well as an exit zone for receiving the material after it is cut. The exit zone comprises a first zonal area adjacent to the working zone and a second zonal area adjacent to the first zonal area, and a first straightedge arranged below the exit zone in the area of a parting surface of the two zonal areas. The second zonal area can be lifted from an initial position where it forms a plane with the first zonal area and the first straightedge can be lifted and moved into a working position with the first zonal area. The exit zone can be moved as a whole perpendicular to the cutting plane to form a gap between the exit zone and the working zone. When the second zonal area is lowered, the material to be cut is cut into individual strips, and the individual block strips can be cut up into individual blocks when the second zonal area is lifted and the first straightedge is in the working position. A transverse channel can be formed between the first straightedge and a second straightedge through which the individual blocks can be fed to a further processing station by means of an ejector.
