Provided are a method for manufacturing a Figure-T shaped metal part using a metal plate or a metal rod split by a method for splitting longitudinally an end part of the metal plate or the metal rod having a rectangular, polygonal, or elliptical shape, in which the length of incision in the split portion can be freely adjusted and smooth split face can be formed; a Figure-T shaped metal part manufactured by such method. The method for splitting is characterized by the process comprising the steps of securing a metal plate by pinching both sides thereof with a clamping device, or securing a metal rod by pinching at least two opposite-facing portions on the periphery thereof with a clamping device; splitting longitudinally by slitting or cleaving the metal plate, or the metal rod, by pressing a slitting punch or a cleaving punch against the face of one end of the metal plate, or the metal rod; and advancing the splitting further by repeating the same operation of pressing the same punch stated above against the cleft of the splitting; and is characterized further in that, in each time of the press-splitting operation, the position of the clamping device on at least one side is moved in advance of the next pressing by a stroke corresponding to the distance from one end of the metal plate, or the metal rod, to the distal end of a split-desired portion.

A method for synchronous and specified-length cutting of continuously-formed materials by multiple lathes connected in series in production lines of continuously-formed materials, such as steel pipes and steel sections. A synchronous and specified-length cutting machine having multiple lathes connected in series is provided with two or more lathes that are separately equipped with a cutting tool. The lathes are installed in series on a rail parallel to a material and are driven by respective driver means to move back and forth according to a set procedure; in the case that the speed of the lathe is synchronous with that of the material, the cutting tool on the lathe cuts the material according to a specified length. The cutting machine can be adapted to high-speed production lines, allows a small minimum specified length, possesses cutting tools having a long service life, and achieves smooth cuts.

A tool for removing a fastener head from a fastener includes a body that includes an alignment surface configured to couple substantially flush against a structural surface proximate the fastener head. A blade coupled to the body includes a tip configured to sever the fastener head from the fastener as the blade is moved in a first direction generally parallel to the alignment surface from a first blade position to a second blade position. The tool also includes a force transfer member coupled to the body for movement parallel to a longitudinal axis of the force transfer member. The longitudinal axis is oriented at an acute angle with respect to the first direction. The force transfer member is configured to move the blade from the first blade position to the second blade position in response to an impulse received by the force transfer member.

After a connecting rod for an engine is formed, it is broken or fractured at a fracture point to allow the connecting rod to assemble around a portion of a crankshaft. However, before fracturing the connecting rod, the connecting rod is provided with a layer of paint across the eventual fracture point such that when the connecting rod is fractured the paint extends across both sides of the fracture point. Also before fracturing the connecting rod, serial numbers or symbols are etched into the paint on either side of the eventual fracture point. These serial numbers are unique to that connecting rod, and have similar indicia on either side of the connecting rod. The combination of the paint and serial numbers increase the ability of an assembly worker to assure matching parts of an original connecting rod are re-attached during assembly about the crankshaft.

Provided is a trimming device configured to cut a rectangular container along a trim line, and includes: a die, which accommodates an outer periphery of the rectangular container, and is arranged along the trim line on a lower side thereof; a punch movable within a plane parallel to a bottom surface; a long-axis direction drive unit configured to move the punch along a long-axis direction of the rectangular container; a first short-axis direction drive unit, which is arranged on a proximal side of the long-axis direction drive unit, and is configured to move the punch along a short-axis direction; and a second short-axis direction drive unit, which is arranged side by side with the first short-axis direction drive unit along the long-axis direction on a distal side from the long-axis direction drive unit, and is configured to move the punch along the short-axis direction of the rectangular container.

A dual pre-stacking system of steel plates for a single cutting line and a stacking method therefor. The dual pre-stacking system comprises: a cooling bed inspection stand, a crop shear with a cut-to-length function, a bilateral shear, 1#inkjet printer, a front pre-stacker, a cut-to-length shear, a length and thickness gauge, 2#inkjet printer, surface check/size inspection and fitting, and a rear pre-stacker arranged in order along the roller. The dual pre-stacking system and the stacking method therefor of the present invention solves the problem that the inkjet printing, size fitting and pre-stacking in the later zone of the cutting line are slow when producing steel plates with high magnification, simultaneously performs pre-stacking operation after bilateral cutting and surface check in one cutting line, achieves synchronous inkjet printing/imprinting, size fitting and pre-stacking of the steel plates at two sites along the cutting line.

A method of forming a fracture start portion of a con rod for forming fracture start portions of a con rod at opposing positions in an inner peripheral surface of a large end of the con rod made of metal, includes a first step of forming a groove portion at a position corresponding to the fracture start portion by using a first insert tip with a large tip end and a second step of forming the fracture start portion, which has become a V-shaped groove, by machining a bottom portion of the groove portion smaller by using a second insert tip having a tip end smaller than the first insert tip.

A surgical rod scorer is provided. The surgical rod scorer includes a pair of elongated shaft members that are pivotably coupled to one another and movable from a spaced-apart configuration to an approximated configuration. Each of the shaft members includes a handle member that is configured for gripping by a user and jaw member that is configured to support respective first and second cutting assemblies thereon. The first and second cutting assemblies each include one or more cutting elements thereon configured and dimensioned to score surgical rod when the jaw members are in the approximated configuration and rotated about the surgical rod.

A slitting machine for threading scrap material includes first and second arbors; rotary knives disposed on each of the first and second arbors; and a pair of notching modules positioned on opposite ends of the first and second arbors. The notching modules each has a pair of shear knives for making multiple cuts in a strip of material passing through the slitting machine forming notches to enable threading of material to scrap chutes from the slitting machine.
