The first knife attachment device includes a drive with a positioning unit. The slitting device also includes a circuitless signal transmission path that is located between the first knife attachment device and the second knife attachment device and the second knife attachment device includes a follow-up device. The process includes contactlessly coupling the first and second knife attachment devices, and transversely moving the first knife attachment device across a width of the material web. The contactless coupling includes transmitting information related to the transverse movement of the first knife attachment device to the second knife attachment device, and the process further includes transversely moving the second knife attachment device in accordance with the transmitted information.
