A laminated film, including an adhesive layer peelably laminated on a base film, and a carrier film overlapping each other are passed between a bladed roller including a plurality of disk-shaped slitting blades arranged at a pitch of 0.5 mm or less and an anvil roller with the laminated film on the bladed roller side to slit the laminated film by score cutting. The slitting blades have a blade angle of 30° or less. By doing so, the laminated film including the adhesive layer peelably laminated on the base film is silt to have a tape width of 0.5 mm or less in such a way that the base film and the adhesive layer do not peel apart and the protrusion of the adhesive layer is suppressed.

A conduit cutting assembly is comprised of a conduit cutting surface, a drive shaft, a top shield and a bottom guide. The conduit cutting assembly is inserted into a rotary device which provides a torque to rotate the conduit cutting assembly. The shield glides along the top surface of the conduit preventing deeper penetration of the cutting surface and deflecting dust as conduit is cut. The guide is positioned on the internal side of the conduit and prevents the cutting surface from contacting encased wiring. The distance between the bottom surface of the shield and the top surface of the guide is closely aligned to the conduit wall thickness. Conduit cutting assemblies can be customized for conduit material and conduit wall thickness. The conduit cutting assembly safely cuts through conduit without damaging encased wiring, limits incidental contact with the cutting surface, and limits contact with dust generated through the cutting procedure.

A portable belt cutting device comprises a cutting head and a 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 a belt. The drive mechanism is 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 comprises a drive spindle which engages a thread formed in the cutting head. The spindle is bi-directionally movable and comprises a torque input geometry. In another embodiment the drive spindle and blade comprise connecting elements that form a positive connection when engaged.

The disclosure relates to a method for producing a fiber preform, wherein: at least one dry and textile fiber material is provided; the fiber material is assembled into a plurality of individual layers; the plurality of individual layers is provided with a binder; the plurality of individual layers is layered to form a package; and a plurality of interconnected fiber preforms is formed by pressing the package. A separation of the plurality of interconnected fiber preforms and activation of the binder occur in a common process step. The disclosure furthermore relates to a corresponding system.

Systems for circumferentially microtoming a pipe having a longitudinal axis. The systems include a frame, a lathe, a carriage, a cutting tool, and an actuator. The lathe is mounted to the frame and configured to support and rotate the pipe about the longitudinal axis of the pipe. The carriage is operatively supported on the frame proximate the pipe. The cutting tool selectively engages the pipe. The actuator is operatively supported on the frame and configured to move the carriage to different radial positions perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pipe. In some examples, the system includes a position sensor, a computer display, and/or a controller.

A process and a splitter for splitting a tape of a uniaxially oriented material. The tape is passed in a process direction over a static splitting profile having a row of teeth, e.g., with a cutting edge extending in the process direction. The tape is split to form a material comprising a plurality of parallel strips interconnected by fibrils. The split material can for example be used for the production of high tensile ropes or laminates.

Provided are a cutting device and method. A blade receiving portion crossing a cord-embedded rubber sheet member is disposed in one surface side in a thickness direction of the rubber sheet member placed in a conveying mechanism. A cutting blade disposed in the other surface side is held by a holder that rotates about a turning shaft extending in the thickness direction of the rubber sheet member. In a state where a cutting-edge advancement direction turns about the turning shaft, a turning restoring force that restores the cutting-edge advancement direction to a preset moving direction is constantly applied by a turning restoring mechanism to the holder before cutting the rubber sheet member. The rubber sheet member is sandwiched in the thickness direction by the cutting blade and the blade receiving portion, and the cutting blade is moved in the extension direction of cords to cut between the cords.
