Abstract:
A device and a method suitable for a sheet punching and embossing machine, is employed for separating finished products and scrap material of a punched sheet while the sheet is moved in a transport direction, with the finished products and scrap material adjoining one another at punching lines. The device includes a break-off element which can be moved intermittently away from a second plane and towards the second plane between a break-off position and a rest position. The application of force onto the scrap material ends before the track of the applied force crosses an unevenly arranged punching line, and the application of force is resumed after the track of the applied force has crossed an evenly arranged punching line.
Abstract:
A method of producing a document of value, the method including providing a single lamina or multi-laminate sheet carrying data relating to one or more documents of value; selecting the shape of at least part of the edge of the or each document using the data relating to the document; and operating a cutting tool to cut out the or each security document from the sheet by cutting along the edge of the or each security document such that the at least part of the edge has the selected shape.
Abstract:
A method for adjusting a pressing force of a flat-bed die-cutting and/or stamping/embossing machine having at least one die-cutting and/or embossing/stamping tool for processing a flat printing substrate, includes supplying tool data describing an individual structure of a die-cutting and/or stamping/embossing tool of a plurality of tool parts, reading specific force data out of a database, the specific force data assigning a specific pressing force to a respective tool part, calculating a target pressing force at least from the tool data and the specific force data adjusting the pressing force of the flat-bed die-cutting and/or stamping/embossing machine to the target pressing force. The adjustment of the pressing force is advantageously simplified to a considerable extent and reduces the error-proneness and the time required for setting up the flat-bed die-cutting and/or stamping/embossing machine. A machine for implementing the method is also provided.
Abstract:
A field-pole magnet manufacturing apparatus manufactures magnet pieces that constitute a field-pole magnet arranged in a rotary electric machine by fracturing the magnet. This manufacturing apparatus includes: a support unit on which the magnet is placed; a fracture unit that is arranged opposite to the support unit across the magnet and is configured to fracture the magnet by pressing the magnet while in contact with the magnet; and a powder removal unit that is configured to remove crush powder produced by fracture of the magnet.
Abstract:
A pair of guide portions 22c is subjected to, after punching, a processing of removing a corner portion of an outer edge portion on a punching rear side Pr.
Abstract:
A method of reusing an existing emblem from a vehicle. The method includes the steps of providing the identification of the existing emblem. From there, the dimensional characteristics of the existing emblem can be determined. The determined dimensional characteristics are then turned into a plurality of perforations through an adhesive sheet so that they correspond to the dimensional characteristics of the existing emblem. The existing emblem can then be applied to the adhesive sheet, and in turn, can be attached to a vehicle by way of the adhesive sheet. An entire library of templates corresponding to the dimensional characteristics of a plurality of existing emblems can be created.
Abstract:
A magnetic curtain of light impervious or light interrupting material having a plurality of magnets positioned in its periphery, the magnetic curtain sized to magnetically adhere to the interior surface of a steel entrance door and cover the decorative window formed therein.
Abstract:
A carton comprises a plurality of adjoined panels that define an interior space, including a front panel and a back panel opposite one another, and a first side panel and a second side panel opposite one another, at least one of which is a movable panel operative for being moved between a first position and a second position, and a heat-shrink patch at least partially joined to the movable panel on a side of the movable panel facing the interior space, the heat-shrink patch being operative for shrinking in response to heat so that shrinking the heat-shrink patch moves the movable panel from the first position to the second position.
Abstract:
A method of operating a controller device of an electronic cutting machine. The method includes writing a controller device identifier to memory of the cartridge, writing a cartridge identifier to memory of the controller device, and permitting communication between the controller device and the cartridge.
Abstract:
An elongate laminar blank for forming a hinge-lid container has a box-defining portion and a lid-defining portion connected along a transverse hinge line. The lid-defining portion of the blank comprises: a lid rear wall panel extending from the transverse hinge line; a lid top wall panel connected to the lid rear wall panel along a first transverse fold line; a lid front wall panel connected to the lid top wall panel along a second transverse fold line and having an opposed outer transverse edge; a pair of opposed trapezoidal lid inner side wall panels connected to the lid rear wall panel on either side thereof along a first pair of longitudinal fold lines; and a pair of opposed trapezoidal lid outer side wall panels connected to the lid front wall panel on either side thereof along a second pair of longitudinal fold lines, each trapezoidal lid outer side wall panel having an angled outer edge. The outer transverse edge of the lid front wall panel, the second pair of longitudinal fold lines and respective angled outer edges of the trapezoidal lid outer side wall panels converge at either end of the outer transverse edge and in that the length of the trapezoidal lid outer side wall panels in the longitudinal direction of the blank is greater than the length of the trapezoidal lid inner side wall panels.
