A machining apparatus is disclosed including a workbench to support at least one article to be machined; at least one machining device to perform machining on said article by removing material, the machining device being movable with respect to the workbench, in which the workbench includes a base including two or more plate-like elements arranged vertically and spaced apart from each other, each plate-like element extending in length along a horizontal longitudinal axis and including a jagged upper edge; support member arranged on the base, in contact with the jagged upper edges of the plate-like elements, the support member being sacrificial, i.e. configured to undergo material removal together with the article, defining a support horizontal martyr plane for the article.

A sheet stacking apparatus includes a pair of sheet alignment mechanisms disposed to face each other in a direction of conveyance of a sheet or in a direction orthogonal to the direction of conveyance. Each one of the pair of sheet alignment mechanisms includes an aligning member, an elastic member, a driver, and a driving source. The aligning member reciprocates with reference to the sheet. The elastic member extends due to reaction force generated in response to pressing force applied to an edge of the sheet by the aligning member when a size of the sheet is larger than a prescribed size. The driver is coupled to the aligning member via the elastic member. The driving source transfers a driving force to the driver.

Provided is a cutting tool that includes a cutting head, a frame, a working table, a guiding rail assembly, and a fence. The cutting head is configured to perform a cutting function. The frame is configured to support the cutting head. The working table is configured to place an object to be cut. The guiding rail assembly is configured to enable the working table to slide along a first straight line relative to the frame. The fence is mounted to the working table, includes at least one fence surface extending in a direction perpendicular to the first straight line. The cutting tool enables a workpiece to be cut to be stably placed on the working table during a cutting operation.

A system for forming apertures in a flexible film is provided. The system includes a punching tool for forming apertures in a flexible film. The punching tool defines a through hole therethrough. The system also includes a support plate. The punching tool is configured to press the flexible film against the support plate to form the apertures.

A cutting apparatus and method are disclosed for making an anti-tamper device of a closing capsule of a container, in which the capsule is fed to a cutting device whilst the capsule is retained between a locking member and a base opposite the locking member, with an annular abutment that is arranged around a rotation axis of the locking member and which is moved from a insertion position in the capsule, before the capsule is cut, to an abutment position, in which the abutment presses the capsule against the cutting device, the abutment being rotatable around a rotation axis that, when the abutment is in the abutment position, is misaligned with respect to the rotation axis of the locking member.

A cutting plotter includes a cutting plotter shell, a placement plate disposed outside the cutting plotter shell, an upper transmission assembly and a lower transmission assembly disposed at two ends of the cutting plotter shell, and a belt assembly disposed in the cutting plotter. The lower transmission assembly and the upper transmission assembly correspond to each other to assist paper in entering the cutting plotter. A slide rod is disposed in the cutting plotter shell and located at the top of the upper transmission assembly, and a cutting tool assembly is disposed on the slide rod. The belt assembly includes a driving motor. A belt body is steered through a steering belt wheel of the belt assembly, and the distance between parallel parts of the belt body is decreased through two small-radius tensioning belt wheels, such that the chain installation space is reduced and the cutting plotter is compact.

Systems and methods for an automated device that reduces a footprint of a bottle by moving linearly moving and rotating the bottle, while a blade cuts a body of the bottle into a continuous strip.
