Floor panels (1, 1′) are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system that may be locked with a vertical displacement of a first panel against a second panel. The locking system includes a flexible strip (6) that during locking bends upwardly or downwardly. The locking system includes a first (7a) and a second (7b) joint edge section with different locking functions. One section provides a horizontal locking and another section provides a vertical locking.

A tube scraping tool comprises: a handle; and a blade, carried by the handle. The tool has first and second laterally spaced apart portions for engaging the tube outer diameter (OD) surface during a drawing of the tool along the tube. The blade has a cutting edge trailing the first and second portions during the drawing and laterally between the first and second portions.

A blade portion for a grooving tool includes opposite first and second surfaces, a blade width thereof being defined as a shortest distance between the first and second surfaces, opposite third and fourth surfaces, and a fifth surface and an opposite blade portion end. The blade width is constant or substantially constant from the fifth surface up to the blade portion end. An insert seat separating the third surface and the fifth surface is arranged to receive an insert having a main cutting edge, an associated rake face, and an associated main clearance surface. The main cutting edge defines an insert width being greater than the blade width. A shortest distance from the fifth surface to the opposite blade portion end is greater than a shortest distance from the third surface to the fourth surface.

An adjustable trimming mechanism includes a wheel module having a wheel mount and a wheel disposed on the wheel mount, and a motor module having a motor mount, a slide rail disposed on a side of the motor mount, a motor, a slider disposed on the slide rail and connected with the motor, a pull rod and a positioning member threadedly disposed on the slide rail. One of the motor and wheel mounts is located above the other. An end of the slider is connected with the pull rod so that the slider drives the motor to displace together frontward or backward when being pulled by the pull rod. Therefore, when the positioning member is loosened, the position of the motor is adjustable frontward or backward by the cooperation of the pull rod and the slider and thereby the cutter installed on the motor is adjusted simultaneously.

A processing apparatus includes a cutting blade mounted on a spindle, the cutting blade having a cutting edge for cutting a workpiece held on a holding table, a measuring portion for measuring an edge projection amount of the cutting edge at a predetermined frequency, and a data processing portion. The data processing portion includes a lower limit recording portion for recording a lower limit of the edge projection amount of the cutting edge as an allowable limit for use of the cutting blade, a storing portion for storing blade information including the edge projection amount measured by the measuring portion and a cutting distance traveled by the cutting blade at the time of measurement of the edge projection amount.

A processing apparatus includes a chuck table, a first and second image capturing units, a display device, and a controller. The first image capturing unit obtains a first image group of images captured of a processed groove in the workpiece at different positions along a thicknesswise direction, each including a piece of first image information representing a shape of the processed groove. The second image capturing unit obtains a second image group of images captured of the processed groove at different positions along the thicknesswise direction of the workpiece, each including a piece of second image information representing a shape of the processed groove. The controller orders the pieces of at least either the first or the second image information into a sequence along the thicknesswise direction, thereby generating a three-dimensional image of the processed groove, and displays the three-dimensional image on the display device.

An arrangement for automatically removing a strip of dark meat from a fish fillet has a conveying unit for transporting the fish fillet from an inlet to an outlet area in a transport direction along a transport path. Starting from the inlet area, successively along the transport path, are provided: a first means for detecting dark meat; a first cutting apparatus for removing a middle partial strip of dark meat; a means for opening up the fillet such that cut surfaces of a ventral-side partial and of a dorsal-side partial strip of dark meat point upwards; a cutting unit for removing the partial strips, the cutting unit comprising second and third cutting apparatuses for removing the ventral and dorsal-side partial strips. A control device is connected to the detecting means and the cutting apparatuses, and all cuts are based on information from the detecting means. A corresponding method is provided.
