ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for trimming a sole of a shoe includes a support structure and a shoe carriage mounted on the support structure. The shoe carriage is constructed and arranged for mounting a shoe thereon and is movable along x and z axes. A sensing station is mounted on the support structure, the sensing station having a detector for detecting the exact outline of the shoe upper with respect to the sole. A cutting station is mounted on the support structure for trimming the sole of the shoe with a first cutter. The first cutter is movable along a y axis and rotatable about a t axis. A microprocessor controls the movement of the carriage between a starting position, the sensing station, the cutting station and back to the starting position and controls the operation and movement of the first cutter for trimming the sole of the shoe when the shoe is in the cutting station. A process for trimming a sole of a shoe is also disclosed.
