Device and method for assembling material panels

The invention relates to a device (1) for assembling sheets of material (10)， in particular for dividing a web (2) extending along three spatial directions (X， Y， Z) and having finite dimensions in at least two spatial directions (Y， Z)， wherein the device (1) comprises at least one cutting device (5) having a cutting tool (3) and a base (4) and a guide device (6)， wherein at least the base (4) of the cutting device (5) is movably arranged along the guide device (6)， the device (1) having a first drive (7) for moving the cutting tool (3) relative to the base (4) and a second Has drive (8) for moving the base (4) relative to the guide device (6). The aim is to provide a device for the assembly of material panels， in particular for dividing a web material extending along three spatial directions and having finite dimensions in at least two spatial directions， which can also be used at high working speeds， i.e. high cycle frequencies of a discontinuously operable material panel production plant or high web speeds of a continuously operable one Material plate production plant， can be operated with little space requirement and advantageously also with low energy requirements. For this purpose， it is proposed that the device should have a third drive (9) which is provided for moving the same base (4) relative to the guide device (6) as the second drive (8). The invention also relates to the use of a device within a material panel production plant and a method for the assembly of material panels.
