1. A cutting device for severing non-woven-in sections of threads or filaments woven in textile ribbons, the cutting device comprising:
a ribbon conveying table configured to convey a textile ribbon having a metallized thread or filament quasi-endlessly woven/non-woven in the fabric of the ribbon;
at least two cutting assemblies-spaced apart from one another along the conveying direction (A) of the textile ribbon, the at least two cutting assemblies being configured to simultaneously perform a cutting action for severing a non-woven-in section of the metallized thread or filament from the fabric of the ribbon; and
at least two sliding spacers spaced apart from one another along the conveying direction of the textile ribbon, the at least two sliding spacers each being connected to a respective one of the at least two cutting assemblies, contacting the surface of the ribbon and being configured to slidingly move between the metallized thread or filament and the fabric of the ribbon at the edges of the non-woven-in sections to facilitate the cutting action of the at least two cutting assemblies
wherein the cutting assemblies and the sliding spacers have a first position, in which the ribbon is conveyable in the conveying direction (A), and a second position, wherein in the second position the metallized thread or filament is lifted away from the fabric by the sliding spacers, positioned between the metallized thread or filament and the fabric.
