An electronic cutting machine includes at least one housing to which a drive roller is coupled for moving a sheet to be cut in a first direction and a cutter assembly coupled to the housing and moveable in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.

A system for cutting a web material and applying the web material on a substrate. The system comprises a feed roll configured to advance a web material. The system includes an anvil roll configured to receive the web material from the feed roll and provide a section of web material having a defined length. The system includes a cutting element configured to cut the web material to form the section of web material. The anvil roll is configured such that the anvil roll surface advances at an anvil roll surface speed. The feed roll is configured to rotate at a first feed roll surface speed that is slower than the anvil roll surface speed and a second feed roll surface speed that is substantially the same as the anvil roll surface speed when the cutting element cuts the web material.

An apparatus for the moving-along tool positioning of linearly conveyed articles includes a conveyor device forming a conveying line, a processing station arranged along the conveying line and having a processing tool, and a positioning unit having a transverse slide and a longitudinal slide for positioning the tools. An assembly for removing the wishbone from poultry carcasses has such an apparatus and utilizes corresponding methods.

The invention relates to an apparatus for the single-track or multi-track slicing of food products, in particular a high-performance slicer, having a product feed that feeds products to be sliced and disposed on a product support on one track or on multiple tracks in a feed direction to a cutting region in which a cutting blade moves, in particular in a rotating and/or revolving manner, in order to slice the fed products in a cutting plane, which extends perpendicular to the feed direction, at a predefined or predefinable cutting frequency by means of the cutting blade; and having a dividing device that has at least one holder, which is arranged in the region of the cutting plane, for at least one elongated separation element, which extends in a dividing plane extending in parallel with the cutting plane, and a drive for the holder by which the holder can be excited to perform to-and-fro movements perpendicular to the feed direction at a dividing frequency in order to divide the front ends of the products by means of the separation element in parallel with the feed direction so that, in a respective cutting process, a plurality of product parts are cut off from a respective front product end by means of the cutting blade, wherein a control device is provided, and wherein the drive for the holder comprises a drive that can be controlled by means of the control device, in particular a servomotor.

Polymer catheters and guidewires for use in intravascular surgery, and more particularly polymer catheters and guidewires micro-machined with a micro-cutting machine to provide sufficient flexibility to travel through a patient's vasculature while retaining sufficient torquability to transmit torque from a proximal end to the distal end of the catheter or guidewire, and methods of producing the same.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a sheet conveyance portion, a punching member, a punching member moving portion, a position detection portion, and a controller. In a case of performing a punching process on a preceding sheet and a succeeding sheet successively conveyed to a predetermined position, the controller is configured to execute preliminary movement after the punching process on the preceding sheet is finished and before an end portion position of the succeeding sheet in a sheet width direction that coincides with a first punching position of the succeeding sheet in a conveyance direction reaches the position detection portion. The first punching position is a position where the punching process is first performed on the succeeding sheet.

Embodiments are directed to an automated cutting tool that is configured to cut open nonuniform enclosures, such as cases containing electronic components. An example system comprises a multi-speed motor that is coupled to a cradle. The multi-speed motor rotates the cradle at a selected speed, and the cradle adapted to hold a case. A cutting head is positioned adjacent to the cradle and is configured to maintain contact with the case during rotation of the multi-speed motor. The multi-speed motor is configured to operate at a first speed when first segments of the case are in contact with the cutting head and to operate at a second speed when second segments of the case are in contact with the cutting head.
