The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a weakening structure in a decor layer of an airbag cover, said weakening structure not being visible when observed from a viewed side. With the method, a punching tool penetrates into a rear side of the decor layer consisting of leather, said rear side being away from the viewed side, and thereby is simultaneously rotated about its longitudinal axis. A penetration depth of the punching tool which is smaller than the thickness of the decor layer is moreover maintained.

A method and apparatus is provided for assessing the current state of doneness of a cooking food item. In a preferred embodiment, a sharpened hollow tubular cutting member of relatively small diameter is rotationally activated to cut and remove from a cooking food item a cylindrical core sample, preferably throughout its entire thickness, without substantial distortion of the shape of the sample. Upon expulsion from the cutting member, inspection of the core sample permits visual determination of the current state of doneness of the food item.

Provided are a hole machining apparatus for an optical film, comprising: a clamping part for fixing a plurality of optical films in stacked laminated state; and a machining part for performing a hole operation on a predetermined region of the plurality of optical films so as to sequentially pass through the optical films along the laminated direction in a state where the optical films are fixed to the clamping part, wherein upon the hole operation, the machining part comprises a drill part provided to perform a primary hole machining operation and a bite unit provided to perform a secondary hole operation in the primary hole operation region. Also provided is a hole machining method for an optical film, comprising clamping a plurality of laminated optical films at a predetermined pressure in the hole machining apparatus.

A method for deep drilling into a panel composed of compressed polyester fibers includes providing a guide system, aligning the guide system with the panel, applying a force to a face of the panel, and drilling a hole into the edge of the panel with the guide system and the drill while the force is applied to the face of the panel. The guide system supports a drill having a drill bit for movement in an axial direction. The force is applied to an area of the panel that is in axial alignment with the guide system.

A workpiece processing method includes preparing a workpiece having a plate portion that includes a base material and a first coating layer. The base material has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface in a direction along a thickness of the base material. The first coating layer is provided on the second surface of the base material. The first coating layer in a first region of the plate portion is removed. A burring tool is moved in a first direction from the first surface toward the second surface in a rotating state to burr the plate portion so as to form a through hole and a flange in the first region of the plate portion after removing the first coating layer in the first region.

A drilling and/or die-cutting unit has a robotic arm on whose wrist an electromechanical member suitable for operatively supporting a drill or die-cutting bit is mounted. The electromechanical member has a toroidal-shaped motor group extending about a motor rotation axis and provided with couplings for coupling to the drill or die-cutting bit, and suitable for supporting the drill or die-cutting bit coaxially to the motor rotation axis. The drilling and/or die-cutting unit is for flat pieces made of deformable materials, optionally the flat pieces made of deformable materials being textiles.
