Abstract:
A cutting tool holder (1) for holding and driving a cutting tool (2) includes at least one actuator (3) for adjusting at least one operating state of the cutting tool holder (1). A control module (4) is disposed on the cutting tool holder (1) and is connected with the actuator (3). The control module (4) directly and independently actuates the actuator (3); information about the operating state is storable on the control module (4). A TCP- and/or UDP-based server is disposed on the control module (4) so that information transmitted from a web-browser compatible end device (5, 6) about an operating state to be assumed can be received and information about the actual operating state can be transmitted to the web-browser compatible end device (5, 6).
Abstract:
Apparatus, systems and methods are disclosed to manufacture a plurality of edible pieces in a continuous process where each piece is generally different in thickness, shape, size and/or texture from another piece, so as to create, in the aggregate product distribution, pieces of randomly varying thickness, size, shape and/or texture. More specifically, the present invention, in its various embodiments, provides a process for manufacturing pet jerky treats comprising: grinding proteinaceous material, mixing said proteinaceous material with preservatives and flavor enhancers to form a blend of foodstuff, extruding said foodstuff through at least one die opening that is at least partially irregular to form at least one strip of extrudate that is at least partly irregular in shape, transporting said strip in a first longitudinal direction to a first cutting operation, cutting said strip at a first cutting angle to form a first set of pieces, transporting said first set of pieces in a second longitudinal direction to a second cutting operation, cutting said first set of pieces in said second cutting operation at a second angle to form a second set of pieces, such that the said second set of pieces cumulatively produced during a process run generally appear to be of random sizes and shapes.
Abstract:
Apparatus for opening letter envelope work items or the like, each having a folded edge margin. A supply of envelope work items are clampingly conveyed in successive order by mating belt means and conveyed transversely across the cutting periphery of a circular cutting element which removes the folded edge margin of each envelope item for permitting access to the envelope contents.
Abstract:
A device is described for cutting a sheet or layer of material (C) advancing on a working plane (32). A blade (30) cuts the material moved on the working plane,To avoid wear or damages to the working plane (32) the blade (30) comprises a cutting edge (38) which is suspended within a cavity (34) formed in the working plane, so that the cutting edge can come out from the material in correspondence of the cavity.
Abstract:
A good-quality slit separator having a small amount of fuzziness at a slit part thereof is to be obtained. The present invention includes: a step (S101) of conveying an original sheet (S); and a step (S102) of slitting the original sheet (S) by causing a plurality of slitting blades (72) to cut into the original sheet (S) such that tangent plane angles (63) in a tangent plane, on which a slitting position is in contact with the original sheet (S), are substantially identical with each other.
Abstract:
A cutter has a first cutter blade moving mechanism 24 that moves a first cutter blade 21 reciprocally between a forward position 21A where recording paper 3 is cut and a retracted position 21B separated from the forward position 21A; and a second cutter blade moving mechanism 25 that moves a second-cutter blade 22 between a contact position 22A where the paper is cut in contact with the first-cutter blade 21 and a release position 22B separated from the contact position. The second cutter blade moving mechanism 25 sets the second cutter blade 22 to the release position 22B before the first cutter blade moving mechanism 24 moves the first cutter blade 21 from the forward position 21A to the retracted position 21B. Wear and noise can be prevented because the two cutter blades 21, 22 do not contact after cutting the recording paper 3.
Abstract:
A fully automated optical fiber cutter includes a fiber cutter body and a fiber clamp. The fiber cutter body includes a cutter cover body and a cutter main body, which are pivotally connected. Inside the cutter main body is provided with a movable blade-fixation seat, which comprises a blade for fiber cutting. The fiber clamp is installed on the cutter main body. The fiber clamp includes a clamp main body and a clamp cover body, which are pivotally connected. The cutter cover body, the clamp cover body and the blade-fixation seat are linked by a linkage component. When in use, the cutter cover body is pressed to drive the clamp cover body close and push the blade-fixation seat to move, thereby the blade is aligned to cut the fiber.

Abstract:
A garment portion processing assembly receives uncut material to process the material into a desired shape, such as the shape of a shirt collar, and then organize the formed material into separate stacks. The garment portion processing assembly includes a stack queuing assembly, a garment portion cutting apparatus, and a garment receiving assembly. In operation, the stack queuing assembly prepares the stacks of garment portions to be collected by the garment portion cutting apparatus to be processed. The garment portion cutting apparatus then collects the garment portions and processes the garment portions as desired by the user. The garment portion cutting apparatus includes a folding assembly for precisely folding the garment portion in an even manner, a shaping knife assembly treat is used to trim the garment portion according to the desired pattern, and a width knife assembly that makes sure the garment portion has the proper width. Lastly, after the garment portion is trimmed by the garment portion cutting apparatus, it is delivered to the collar receiving assembly to be stacked with the other processed garment portions for collection by the user.
