The system further comprises a power source electrically coupled to the ultrasonic cutter tool, and an alignment mold disposed parallel to the railing system and offset by a distance. The system further comprises one or more roller bearing carriages coupled to the railing system, wherein each of the one or more roller bearing carriages comprises a set of roller bearings, wherein each set of roller bearings is disposed over the alignment mold, wherein each set of roller bearings is configured to translate along the alignment mold as each of the one or more roller bearing carriages translates along the railing system.

A manual food processor includes a base, a plurality of blades coupled to the base and extending from the base in a vertical direction, a rod coupled to the base and oriented at an acute angle relative to the vertical direction of the blade, and a carriage slidable along the rod from a top end of the rod to a bottom end of the rod. The carriage is configured to support a food item from below the food item and to push the food item from above the food item. The carriage is positioned entirely on a first side of the plurality of blades when at the top end of the rod and is intersected by the plurality of blades at the bottom end of the rod.

A vertical slicer includes a frame having a cover plate with a central opening and a hopper positioned over the opening. A carriage having a deck and a main cutting blade is attached to a spring-loaded plunger for reciprocating vertical movement within the frame. A tray collects food items cut by the main blade, which can be selectively adjusted to change a slicing thickness. A locking switch is configured to lock the plunger and carriage in a lowered locked position.

Disclosed is a cutting machine and a method for controlling a cutting machine with a retrieval of a cutting job for processing an object on a working surface of the cutting machine with a cutting device, a defining of a cutting path based on the cutting job, a continuous retrieval of position data, and a guidance based on the position data, of the cutting device along the cutting path for processing, in particular cutting, the object, characterized by a temperature compensation functionality with continuous retrieval of temperature data from one or more temperature sensors, and using the temperature data for defining the cutting path and/or for adjusting the cutting path.

A cutting device and a method for cutting paper are provided. The cutting device includes a cutting blade and a counter-member. The cutting device is further provided with a first guide and a second guide extending in or parallel to the driving direction for linearly guiding a holder that holds the cutting blade. Each of the guides includes a guide body. The guide bodies of the first guide and the second guide, when released, are arranged to be rotatable relative to the frame about a first adjustment axis and a second adjustment axis, respectively. Each guide body includes an eccentric section that moves eccentrically about the respective adjustment axis and that is arranged to convert the rotational movement of the guides about the respective adjustment axes into a linear movement of the holder in the adjustment direction.

A system and method for vibratory cutting, including in the manufacture of ceramic honeycomb bodies. The apparatus includes a transducer configured to generate vibrations with respect to an axial direction. A cutting element is configured to receive and oscillate axially in response to the vibrations. The cutting element has a blade having a width, an axial length, and a thickness. A cutting plane of the blade is defined with respect to the width and the axial length. The blade has opposing side surfaces that extend parallel to the cutting plane. The thickness extends perpendicular to the cutting plane between the opposing side surfaces. A set of fluid bearings are configured to exert fluid pressure on each of the opposing side surfaces to constrain vibrations of the blade oriented in directions transverse to the cutting plane.

A cutter unit configured to cut a recording sheet to be advanced toward a forward side in an advancing direction, includes: a fixed blade, which includes a fixed blade edge, and is provided on a first surface side of the recording sheet; a movable blade including: a movable blade edge opposed to the fixed blade edge in a cutting direction crossing the advancing direction; and a sliding surface, which is provided on a backward side in the advancing direction, and is configured to be slid on the fixed blade; and a rack holder capable of reciprocating along the cutting direction, the rack holder including: a movable blade holder configured to support the movable blade; and an urging member configured to urge the movable blade to the backward side in the advancing direction.

Embodiments of the invention provide a cutting tool. The cutting tool includes a pin that defines an axis, a first jaw, a second jaw, a first blade, and a second blade. The first and second jaws are configured to rotate about the axis. The first jaw includes a first ear surface that has a first ear bore that is dimensioned to receive the pin. The second jaw includes a second ear surface rotationally engaged with the first ear surface and includes a second ear bore that is dimensioned to receive the pin. The blades can include a tapered face and a non-tapered face. The first and second ear surfaces can be coplanar with the respective non-tapered face.

A hollow board cutting apparatus includes a machine bed unit, a driving unit, and a cutting unit. The driving unit includes a pair of upper sprockets rotatably disposed on the machine bed unit, a pair of lower sprockets rotatably disposed on the machine bed unit, a motor coupled to one of the lower sprockets for directly driving rotation of the one of the lower sprockets, a first drive chain trained on the upper and lower sprockets, and a second drive chain trained on the lower sprockets. The cutting unit includes an upper positioning seat coupled co-movably to the first drive chain, a lower positioning seat coupled co-movably to the second drive chain, and at least one cutting blade secured between the upper and lower positioning seats.
