A cutting machine includes a platform, two supporting elements, a guiding plate, a handle and a blade assembly. The supporting elements are supported on the platform. Each of the supporting elements includes a space. The guiding plate is inserted in the space of the first supporting element and includes a slot. The handle includes a pivoting plate and an axle. The pivoting plate is inserted in the space of the second supporting element, and includes a primary aperture and a secondary aperture. The axle is inserted in the primary aperture of the pivoting plate and an aperture of the second supporting element. The blade assembly includes a blade and two pins. The first pin is inserted in an aperture of the blade and movably inserted in the slot. The second pin is inserted in another aperture of the blade and the secondary aperture of the pivoting plate.

Some examples of a cable cutting system include a first cutting apparatus that includes a recess to receive a cable. The system includes a second cutting apparatus separate from and attached to the first cutting apparatus. The second cutting apparatus includes multiple cutting surfaces arranged to cut the cable received at the recess.

A printer includes a transport part that transports a sheet, a printing part that prints on the sheet, a cutting part that cuts the sheet by moving a movable blade toward a stationary blade, and a controller that controls the transport part and the cutting part. When the sheet is label paper having an adhesive layer, the controller controls the transport part and the cutting part to transport the sheet rearward before moving the movable blade that cut the sheet, move the movable blade in a direction away from the stationary blade in a state where the sheet is fed in rearward, and thereafter transport the sheet frontward.

A cutting device includes a fixed blade and a movable blade that slides with respect to the fixed blade during cutting, the movable blade having a first end that engages with the fixed blade at cutting start and a second end that engages with the fixed blade at cutting end, an urging member connected to the movable blade to urge the movable blade towards the fixed blade and a rotation of the movable blade in a first rotational direction, and a support for the movable blade having a shaft that rotates as the movable blade moves, the shaft having a center portion and first and second ends rotatably connected to the movable blade, wherein points of connection of the first and second ends are at locations that urge a rotation of the movable blade in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction.

A machine for forming packing templates includes a infeed system that can feed multiple feeds of sheet material into the machine without repositioning the infeed system or forming creases or bends in the sheet material. The machine also includes a separation and cutting systems with one or more cutting tables and biased knives that cut the sheet material packaging templates. The machine also includes creasing roller(s) that forms creases in the sheet material. The machine also includes a system for reducing or eliminating the impact of irregularities in the sheet material.

A printer includes: a conveyor; a printing device; a roller; a moving mechanism configured to move a moving member; and a cutter that performs a cutting operation. A controller executes: a printing processing for performing a printing operation while conveying the printing medium with the moving member being located at a second position; a cutting processing for performing the cutting operation after the printing operation is stopped; a moving processing for controlling the moving mechanism such that movement of the moving member to a first position is completed before the cutting operation; and a roller driving processing for, after the movement of the moving member to the first position is completed and before the cutting operation, rotating the roller in a direction for conveying the printing medium downstream in a conveying direction and stops the roller from rotating.

A printer may ensure continued sufficiency of cutting performance of a cutter for performing printing on a medium. The printer may include a casing having a space, the cutter disposed in the casing and configured to cut at least a portion of the medium, a moving mechanism configured to move the cutter, and a controller configured to control the moving mechanism to move the cutter to at least one stop position at which a portion of the cutter is positioned at the space.

Provided are an adhesive tape attaching device for cell and a manufacturing method for the adhesive tape attaching device for cell. The adhesive tape attaching device for cell includes a tooling plate, an adhesive tape clamping and pulling mechanism, an adhesive tape cutting mechanism, an adhesive tape attaching mechanism, and a driving mechanism. The tooling plate is for carrying a cell; the adhesive tape clamping and pulling mechanism is configured to clamp an adhesive tape and drive the adhesive tape to move in a horizontal direction approaching the cell; the adhesive tape cutting mechanism is disposed in a transportation direction of the adhesive tape, the adhesive tape cutting mechanism is located upstream of the tooling plate, and the adhesive tape cutting mechanism is configured to cut the adhesive tape into adhesive tape segments; the adhesive tape attaching mechanism is configured to attach the adhesive tape segment onto a to-be-attached region.

A printing apparatus includes a cutter unit that includes a first blade that moves in a first direction from a standby position to a cutting position to cut a printing medium and a drive pin that moves integrally with the first blade, a drive cam which has a cylindrical shape and on a side surface of which a guide groove engaged with the drive pin is provided, and a driving motor that rotates the drive cam, in which, when the drive cam rotates, the guide groove guides, via the drive pin, the first blade in the first direction from the standby position to the cutting position.

A tablet splitting apparatus includes a guide, a catcher, and a splitting mechanism. The splitting mechanism comprises a pair of blades and a pair of blade shifters. The guide, the catcher, and the splitting mechanism are accommodated in a housing. The housing includes an opening and a support. The support and the guide each include a sliding portion. The guide disposed at the supporting position is slid along the sliding portion of the support so as to be detachable from the supporting position through the opening. The blades and the blade shifters each comprise a sliding portion. The blades and the blade shifters are in a slidable contact with each other at the sliding portions. The blades attached to the respective predetermined positions of the blade shifters are slid along the sliding portions of the blade shifters so as to be detachable from the blade shifters through the opening.
