Abstract

A separator unit suitable for being used in a cutting line of laminar materials into strips, of the type comprising an expandable shaft, a storage magazine for storing separator tools, which is operatively associated with an end of the expandable shaft, separator tools provided with ring nuts configured to allow the translation of the separator tools from the storage magazine to the expandable shaft, and vice versa, the separator tools being susceptible to being locked on the expandable shaft, and translation apparatus means configured to translate the separator tools along the expandable shaft. The separator unit provides for the expandable shaft to be provided with a first slit adapted to house a locking element with a knurling on its outwards facing surface and susceptible to translating in radial direction and provides for the ring nuts to have a counter-knurling on a length of their surfaces facing the expandable shaft. The knurling and the counter-knurling are configured to fixedly couple when the surface of the locking element is placed in contact with the surfaces of the ring nuts.
