Abstract:
A portable belt cutting device comprises a cutting head and cutting blade movably arranged on the cutting head. The cutting head has a drive mechanism to move the blade from a retracted position to an extended position, such that the blade severs the belt. The drive mechanism may be coupled to the blade such that the blade is actively driven in both directions between the retracted position and the extended position. In some embodiments, the drive mechanism may comprise a drive spindle which may engage a thread formed in the cutting head. The spindle may be bi-directionally movable and comprise a torque input geometry. In another embodiment the drive spindle and blade comprise connecting elements that form a positive connection when engaged.
Abstract:
A blade assembly includes a support frame, a cutting blade, a motor to drive the cutting blade, a support shaft operatively coupled to the support frame to permit pivotal movement of the support frame, and an actuator operatively coupled to the support frame to reciprocally move the slicing assembly between an extended position and a retracted position. When the slicing assembly is in the extended position, a plane of the cutting blade is substantially co-planar with a cutting plane of the food product, and the cutting blade slices the food product. Conversely, when the slicing assembly is in the retracted position, the plane of the cutting blade is disposed at a predetermined angle away from the cutting plane of the food product, and the cutting blade does not contact the food product.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electrode cutting apparatus including a separated foreign matter removal unit capable of immediately removing separated foreign matter generated at the time of electrode cutting through a blow unit and a suction unit configured to be repeatedly operated and stopped according to an electrode cutting operation in order to remove separated foreign matter generated when the electrode cutting apparatus performs electrode cutting.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for measuring a protrusion length of a protrusion portion on each side of sheet after cutting even when there is variation in positions of cords embedded in the sheet, apparatus with imaging unit that images cross-sectional profile in width direction of sheet including protrusion portions, and generates waveform data from imaging of cross-sectional profile, detect maximum height-positions of crests and of troughs of waveform data, set, based on waveform data, a maximum height-position of crest closest to width end of sheet as maximum height-position of end crest, set a position corresponding to an edge of protrusion portion of sheet, located on more width end side than maximum height-position of end crest, as minimum height-position of a terminal trough, detect distance in width direction of sheet between maximum height-position of end crest and of the terminal trough, and measure protrusion length of protrusion portion based on detected distance.
Abstract:
A media cutting system is disclosed comprising a die cutter including a cutting surface and a plurality of dies stored proximate the cutting surface, a die exchange system including a die storage system configured to support the plurality of dies and a die transport system, and a computer system comprising a controller configured to operate the die transport system and the die cutter. A die exchange system and methods of making and using the die exchange system also are disclosed.
Abstract:
A cutter device includes a cutter configured to cut a material to be cut; a carriage having a cutter and moving in a widthwise direction with respect to a feeding direction of the material to be cut; and a guide unit configured to guide the carriage in the widthwise direction and, assuming that the movement of the carriage when the cutter cuts the material to be cut is an outward route, a homeward route of the cutter of the carriage is different from the outward route of the cutter, and is shifted from the outward route toward one material to be cut which moves first in the direction away from the other material to be cut in the feeding direction immediately after the cutting from between the materials to be cut divided into two parts.
Abstract:
The device pertains to providing side shift force control using load cell force feedback in the web slitting industry. Further included is a removable means of providing the load cell force feedback without integrating the load cell with the side shift mechanism. This provides for easy maintenance of the blade cartridge and specifically the cutting blade.
Abstract:
A device for cutting plane material sheets (1) to a sectionally concave contour by separating several discontiguous sections (2, 3), with at least two cutting units (4) that respectively feature a knife (6, 8) and a cutting bar (7, 9) and can be positioned relative to one another by adjusting devices (11, 12, 13, 14) such that format adjustments and corrections can be realized without tool change.
Abstract:
A cutting apparatus includes a cutting unit including a cutting blade, a holding member having an adhesive layer on which an object to be cut is removably held, a wireless tag containing cutting information, a reading unit reading the cutting information from the wireless tag when the holding member has been set on the apparatus, and a control unit controlling the cutting unit based on the cutting information the reading unit has read from the wireless tag. The cutting information includes at least one of a relative moving speed between the blade and the object, a pressing force of the blade against the object and a correction amount which corrects a relative movement amount of the blade relative to the object. The cutting unit includes a pressing unit which presses the object held by the holding member, and the cutting information includes a pressing force of the pressing unit.
