Replaceable shaving assemblies are disclosed that include a blade unit, an interface element configured to removably connect the blade unit to a handle, on which the blade unit is pivotably mounted, and an elastomeric element disposed between the blade unit and interface element. Shaving systems including such shaving assemblies are also disclosed, as are methods of using such shaving systems.

A device according to one embodiment includes a sidewall defining an interior; at least one cutting channel having, and/or configured to receive, at least one cutting strip; an opening in the sidewall configured to allow a sheet of material to pass therethrough from the interior; a door coupled to the sidewall; and a handle coupled to the sidewall. A device according to another embodiment includes a peripheral sidewall; a lid coupled to an upper edge of the peripheral sidewall, the lid and the peripheral sidewall defining an interior; a bottom edge of the peripheral sidewall defining an opening to the interior, the interior being configured to receive a sheet of material; at least one cutting channel having, and/or configured to receive, at least one cutting strip; and an opening in the lid, the opening being configured to allow the sheet of material to pass therethrough from the interior.

A workpiece cutting method basically includes providing a workpiece proximate to a first blade including a first cutting edge. The method further comprises moving a second blade including a second cutting edge in contact with the first blade such that the first and second cutting edges of the first and second blades cooperatively engage to cut the workpiece while maintaining the first and second cutting edges parallel to each other.

A cutting equipment for continuous paper strips having images arranged in sequence along multiple rows comprising a longitudinal cutting mechanism for separating the rows from the strips and a transversal cutting mechanism for separating image sheets from the rows and in which the image sheets have different longitudinal dimensions and possibility of random variations between row and row, The equipment further comprises individual feeding mechanisms for feeding, in an independent way, the rows with respect to the transversal cutting mechanism; a buffer device, of compensation for the different feeds of the rows, and an electronic control unit for actuating the feeding mechanisms and the transversal cutting mechanism so as to present the trailing edges of said image sheets in alignment for a simultaneous cutting by the transversal cutting mechanism and extracting one or more images from the cutting mechanism, after its actuation, as preparation of collecting.

The line comprises a feed path (P) of the web material (N) and, along the feed path, a transverse cutter (5) for cutting scraps (FS) from the continuous web material (N). The line includes a system for removing scraps of web material cut by the cutter. The system for removing scraps is fitted with a scrap accumulator member (21). The accumulator member (21) is movable in a direction generally parallel to the feed path (P) of the web material between: a position for receiving scraps, wherein the distance between the accumulator member (21) and the cutter (5) is such that scraps (FS) generated by the cutter (5) are collected by the accumulator member (21); and a standby position, at a distance from the cutter (5) such that scraps (FS) generated by the cutter are collected in a space (D) between the cutter (5) and the accumulator member (21).

A sawmill feedspeed control system having a force sensor operatively coupled to a sawguide of a sawblade, the output of the force sensor being processed and supplied to a motion controller and driver for reducing or increasing feed velocity of a workpiece so as to prevent overfeed or underfeed, while minimizing deviations of the blade from a straight cut and maximizing production throughput.

A dough cutting apparatus is suitable for cutting a sheet of dough. The dough cutting apparatus includes a structure defining a blunt dough engaging portion. The present invention can be embodied in a number of different ways, including a wheel cutter, a rotary drum cutter, a reciprocating head cutter, or another cutter.

The invention relates to a linear actor arrangement, comprising a linear actor with two ends whose distance is variable depending on an energizing of the linear actor, wherein each end is attached to a respective first or second coupling element which engage a coupling surface, wherein the coupling surface and the coupling elements exhibit mating surface structures in such a manner that the coupling elements are prevented from moving in a direction while being allowed to move in an opposite direction.

A cutter includes a fixed blade, a movable blade, a drive motor that moves the movable blade, and a controller that drives the drive motor to move the movable blade toward the fixed blade and to cut a medium. The controller drives the drive motor such that output torque of the drive motor during a process other than a cutting process where the medium is cut becomes lower than the output torque of the drive motor during the cutting process.

An apparatus and a method for trimming a module are disclosed. In and embodiment the method includes fixing a rear transverse side of module, guiding the rear cutting head along the rear transverse side thereby cutting off a rear overlapping portion of the overlapping film and releasing the rear transverse. The method further includes moving the module into a region of two longitudinal cutting devices, fixing the module on both longitudinal sides, guiding longitudinal cutting heads along the longitudinal sides thereby cutting off longitudinally overlapping film portions on both longitudinal sides, and releasing the longitudinal sides of the module. The method furthermore includes moving the module into a region of the front cutting device, fixing a front transverse side of the module, guiding a front cutting head along the front transverse side thereby cutting off a front overlapping portion of the overlapping film.
