A line for producing metal profiles for plasterboard false ceilings has a profiling machine, a cutting group, a punching group, an extraction system for extracting finished metal profiles from the punching group, and a management and control unit. The punching group has a first punching press of the portal type having an elongated punching head along a first operating direction and a plurality of second punching presses arranged downstream of the first punching press and aligned with each other to form a row along a second operating direction. The management and control unit is configured so as to alternatively operate in use the first punching press and at least one 10 part of the second punching presses as a function of type or length of the metal profiles in output from the cutting group. The extraction system, is integrated with the second punching presses, and has a conveyor belt.

A fastener cartridge can be used with a shaft of a tool during an orthopedic procedure. The fastener cartridge can have a main housing that can be attached to fastener housing including a fastener chamber and a backstop component. The fastener chamber includes a plurality of non-flexible tabs and the backstop component includes a plurality of resiliently flexible tabs. The fastener housing is configured to include a plurality of fasteners that are arranged therein such that the longitudinal axes of the fastener chamber and the plurality of fasteners are collinear. The plurality non-flexible tabs prevent one of the fasteners from inadvertently passing entirely out of an outlet of the fastener chamber and the plurality of resiliently flexible tabs allow the fasteners to move axially in the first direction and restrict movement of the fasteners in a second direction opposite the first direction.

An apparatus and method for processing anode plate for electrolysis, the apparatus includes a transverse transmission device (3) for transmitting the anode plate in a transverse direction; a plate-flattening and thickness-measuring device (4) for flattening the anode plate and measuring a thickness of the anode plate; a hanger bottom milling device (6) configured to mill a bottom surface of a hanger of the anode plate, disposed at a first side of the transverse transmission device (3) and positioned downstream of the plate-flattening and thickness-measuring device (4) in the transverse direction; and a hanger side milling device (5) configured to mill a side surface of the hanger of the anode plate, disposed at a second side of the transverse transmission device (3) and positioned downstream of the plate-flattening and thickness-measuring device (4) in the transverse direction.

A pole manufacturing line with a shell forming apparatus in which material blanks (e.g., steel plates, sheets, or the like, other metals, composites, or other material) are cut into one or more shell blanks (e.g., different sizes for different types of poles), and the shell blanks are shaped into shaped shells (e.g., a single shell, half shells, tri-shell, quad shells, or the like). The pole manufacturing line has a shell assembly apparatus in which shells are supplied to a welding apparatus to create longitudinal seam welds in the shaped shells to form the poles, the poles are transported to one or more cells for straightening the pole, trimming the pole length, preparing the pole for components (e.g., base, flanges, supports, or other hardware) and welding the components to the pole.

An automatic unloading, clamping and molding device for galvanized iron tubes and a manufacturing method thereof are used to position at least a crude pipe sleeve at a material strip and drive the crude pipe sleeve to pass through a positioning segment, a molding segment, a reshaping segment and unloading segment in a molding device for development of a plurality of graspable claw portions on the sleeve wall of the crude pipe sleeve and mass-production of stable-quality and low-manufacturing-cost pipe sleeves, each of which has a plurality of graspable claw portions.

In a system for automatically manufacturing a pipe spool, when information on a pipe spool is input to a control unit, manufacturing of a spool pipe by cutting an original pipe, processing of a spool pipe, processing of a connection member, manufacturing of a straight pipe spool by welding a spool pipe to a connection member, and manufacturing a three-dimensional spool by welding a straight pipe spool to the other straight pipe spool or a connection member may be automatically performed by a sensor, an automatic device or a robot included in each process and the control unit connected to each of the devices.

An assembly table for use in a remote manufacturing yard is provided. The assembly table is configured to be collapsible thereby allowing for a reduced footprint during transportation. The assembly table can include a central support base; a plurality of arms attached to the central support base; a secondary support member attached to each arm configured to provide support for and give height to the assembly table when in use; and a centering guide attached to each arm, the centering guide configured to receive a bottom portion of a partial shell, the centering guide located at a predetermined location of its own arm.

A system for performing work processes on workpieces or the like. The system includes at least two first process stations for performing, in each case, a first work process on the workpiece or the like with a first process duration and at least one second process station for performing a second work process on the workpiece or the like with a second process duration, wherein the first process duration and the second process duration are of different lengths, and including a transport surface on which the workpieces or the like are movable individually on transport units by means of electromagnetic drives.
