A cutting device for cutting narrow strips from a material web in or on which magnetically couplable elements are embedded or arranged at defined spacings behind one another in the web longitudinal direction, including a blade table arranged on a device frame, and on which the material web to be cut can be positioned, a cutting apparatus including a cutting blade which can be moved out of a starting position into a cutting position relative to the blade table, and a gripping device which receives and transports a cut strip and can be moved relative to the blade table. Either the gripping device including a hold-down section placeable for cutting purposes onto the material web positioned on the blade table and fixes the material web during the cutting on the blade table, and a magnetic element which interacts magnetically with the magnetically couplable element of the cut strip for fixing the strip on the gripping device for transport into a dispensing position, and the hold-down section including a recess, through which the cutting blade can be moved to the blade table into the cutting position, or the gripping device including a hold-down section placeable for cutting purposes onto the material web which is positioned on the blade table and fixes the material web during the cutting on the blade table, and a magnetic element which interacts magnetically with the magnetically couplable element of the cut strip for fixing the strip on the gripping device for transport into a dispensing position, and at least one further hold-down element being provided which can be placed onto the material web for cutting purposes spaced apart from the hold-down section with the configuration of a clearance, it being possible for the cutting blade to be moved through the clearance to the blade table into the cutting position.

An apparatus and method for cutting blocks of frozen food into irregular shapes comprises a slicer unit carrying a cutting blade and chutes for feeding logs of frozen food to said blade. The chute extends from a chute inlet to a chute outlet, having a central longitudinal axis extending from the center of the chute inlet to center of chute outlet. The cutting blade is positioned below the chute outlets wherein said elongate blocks of processed food are fed into said chute inlet through the chute to the chute outlet, to said blade, said blade sectioning the blocks into smaller pieces. The chutes are angled greater than 15 degrees and less than 90 degrees from the plane of the cutting blade and the chute is rotated about its longitudinal axis between 0 to 180 degrees from a square orientation to the plane of the blade.

A system and method utilizes strategies, priority rules, specifications, and comparisons to calculate the fewest number of cuts to separate individual instances from an imaged media sheet. Embodiments of the systems and methods may produce an optimal or more efficient arrangement of the media instances on an imaged media to minimize a total number of cuts to separate the instances, and thus reduce an overall cost.

A water jet splitting machine for waste tires includes a feeding device, a water jet splitting chamber, a waste tire controlling device, a water jet device, and a discharging device. The water jet splitting chamber is disposed beside the feeding device. The waste tire controlling device is disposed on a top of the water jet splitting chamber and has a central line and a claw assembly. The claw assembly is disposed in the water jet splitting chamber and has at least three claw mechanisms. Each one of the at least three claw mechanisms has a claw capable of moving away from the central line along a radial direction. The water jet device is disposed beside the claw assembly of the waste tire controlling device and has a water jet seat having at least one water jet head. The discharging device is disposed beside the water jet splitting chamber.

A process and an apparatus for cutting a continuous rubber-covered belt in a process for building tyres for vehicle wheels, wherein the apparatus includes a cutting group, in turn comprising: a knife formed by a first half-part and a second half-part and movable along a cutting direction that is tilted with respect to a supply direction of a rubber-covered belt placed beneath the knife. The process includes: lifting a lifting element placed below the continuous rubber-covered belt and at the cutting zone, until a portion of rubber-covered belt is lifted, and lowering the single first-half part of the knife, making it slide with respect to the second half-part.

A slitter for slitting a guide catheter is assembled from a handle, a blade assembly coupled to the handle, and a holding mechanism coupled to the handle. The blade assembly includes a shroud for receiving an elongated body of a medical device and a slitting blade having an exposed cutting edge to slit the guide catheter.

The invention concerns a cutting device (1) for reducing the width of a ready-made roller blind blank (28) comprising a roller tube onto which a fabric has been wound. The cutting device (1) comprises a mandrel (13), which is adapted to be inserted into and hold an end to be cut of the roller tube, and a knife arrangement, which is adapted to circumferentially cut first the fabric wound on the roller tube and then the roller tube on the mandrel (13) such that the width of the ready-made roller blind blank (28) is reduced. The invention also concerns a ready-made roller blind blank (28), which comprises a roller tube, onto which a fabric has been wound and which is adapted to be cut by means of a cutting device (1) according to the invention. For this the roller blind blank (28) comprises a disposable wrapping, which bears a visible measurement scale along at least one end portion of the roller blind blank (28).

(N+1) band-like cut members are manufactured by cutting a band-like member N times along the length direction of the reinforcing cords. At such time, cutting positions are set at locations in the width direction of the band-like member from a first end toward a second end, and cuts are made in the band-like member on the basis of the cutting positions. Setting the cutting positions includes: a step A in which cutting positions of the band-like member are set M times (where M is a natural number less than N) for every fixed first number of reinforcing cords; and a step B in which a second number of the reinforcing cords is set within an allowable number range, and the cutting positions are set at (N−M) locations using the second number such that band-like cut members having the second number of reinforcing cords are continuously produced.
