A device for carrying out cutting operations on an unbound formatting edge of a printed product includes a cutter to carry out edge-related cutting operations. A transporter transports the printed product from a first cutting location, at which the first cutting operation for a first formatting edge of the printed product takes place, to a second cutting location, at which a second one of the cutting operations for a second formatting edge takes place, and to a third cutting location, at which a third one of the cutting operations for a third formatting edge is carried out. The transport of the printed product from one cutting location to the next is carried out along a guide section. The transporter includes a gripper with which the printed product is gripped by the spine and conveyable from one cutting location to the next in a suspended manner.

An apparatus for portion cutting food items includes a first cutting device which comprises a cutting unit for the cutting of food items into strips. The apparatus includes one or more additional cutting devices, each comprising a cutting unit for cutting the strips into pieces of predetermined weight and dimensions. Measuring means are arranged in the first cutting device for scanning at least one of a shape, a structure and a dimension of the food item. The apparatus further comprises processor means with a control program for the planning of a portion-cutting profile on the basis of the scanning.

The present invention relates to a method for cutting rigid foams, especially slabstock P(M)I foams. A method is provided here, by means of which it is possible to cut these rigid foams even in relatively high layer thicknesses of, for example, more than 3 mm, without material loss, which is produced in relevant amounts, for example, in the course of sawing as a result of the sawdust formed.

A corrugated cardboard plant comprises a corrugated cardboard web production assembly for producing a corrugated cardboard web; a register mark cutting device, disposed downstream of the corrugated cardboard web production assembly, for cutting the corrugated cardboard web into corrugated cardboard sheets; a register mark detection device, disposed upstream of the register mark cutting device, for detecting at least one register mark on the corrugated cardboard web; and a control assembly which is in signal connection with the register mark cutting device and with the register mark detection device, and depending on the at least one detected register mark actuates the register mark cutting device, while generating at least one register mark cut. The corrugated cardboard plant furthermore has a register mark cut position correction installation for the automatic correction of the position of the at least one register mark cut in relation to the at least one register mark in the case of an undesirable deviation of the position of the at least one register mark cut.
