A printer that partially cuts roll paper to leave an uncut portion prevents paper jams from reversing the roll paper. A printer 1 has a print unit 41 for printing images on roll paper R; a cutter unit 46 disposed downstream in the conveyance direction from the print unit for cutting the roll paper and leaving an uncut portion; a conveyance unit 42 for conveying the roll paper in the conveyance direction or a reverse direction that is the opposite of the conveyance direction; and a controller 40 that executes a reversing process conveying the roll paper in reverse by the conveyance unit 42 when the roll paper is separated from the paper roll at the uncut portion after the cutter unit 46 cuts the roll paper, and not executing the reversing process in specific circumstances in which the roll paper remains connected through the uncut portion.

A label creation apparatus includes a control unit that controls, at a time of continuously creating a plurality of labels by a label creation unit, the label creation unit to resume the creation of the labels from an n-th label when determining a tape-end state in which a tape end of the tape has passed through a printing position based on a detection result of a detection unit in a tape-end detection period for the n-th label, the tape-end detection period for the n-th label indicating a period from a point at which an (n1)-th label has been determined to be completed to a point at which the n-th label has been determined to be completed.

According to one embodiment, there is provided a cutting device including a cutting section configured to cut a conveyed long cloth medium into a predetermined length, a placement surface for placing the cloth medium cut by the cutting section, and a paddle section attached to a rotation shaft that is rotatable in a conveyance direction of the cloth medium, configured to come into contact with the placement surface by rotating around the rotation shaft, and configured to scrape out the cloth medium in the conveyance direction.

An incision station for making a plurality of weaknesses respectively on a plurality of portions of a web, for producing a plurality of packages each of which including a supporting sheet corresponding to a respective portion of the portions and an opening system corresponding to the weakness made on the respective portion. The station includes a plurality of motor driven incision bodies for making incisions in the respective portion to create the weaknesses. The incision bodies are also controlled to obtain a distance needed to contact the respective portion. This invention also relates to a packaging machine which includes the incision station and a incision method for making the above-mentioned plurality of weaknesses.

The present invention relates to a secondary battery electrode production system. The secondary electrode production system according to the present invention comprises: an unwinding portion (100) having multiple electrode material supply reels so as to continuously supply an electrode material; a notching portion (200) disclosed on a path of movement of the electrode material supplied from the unwinding portion (100); a cutting portion (400) disposed on the path of movement of the electrode material supplied from the notching portion (200) so as to generate the electrode; a vision inspection portion (600) for confirming whether the electrode is acceptable or not; and an electrode discharge portion (800) comprising a magazine for aligning and storing the electrode while interworking with the vision inspection portion.

A shear cutting system for fibre tape taping machines in which the cutting of the fibre tape (1) is performed transversely with respect to the movement of the fibre tape (1) by shearing 5 between a cutting blade (2) and a counter blade (3) in an opposite relative movement between the cutting blade (2) and the counter blade (3), characterised in that it has orientation device for a blade support (4) of the cutting blade (2) configured for orienting the cutting blade (2) according to a cutting angle selected for cutting the fibre tape (1).

A sausage cutting apparatus 10 for cutting an extruded length of sausage into smaller sausage portions includes first and second cutting assemblies located at opposite sides of a feed path. The cutting assemblies include flexible toothed belts 38 driven by toothed pinions, to which a number of longitudinally-spaced cutting device 30 are fixedly attached. The apparatus includes a drive system for synchronously driving the belts 38 and a guide system for guiding displacement of the cutting devices into and out of meshing engagement with one another for cutting the length of sausage. Each cutting device includes a cutting blade defining a domed cutting face at an inner side thereof. The cutting devices are displaced along arcuate cutter paths during meshing engagement of the cutting blades wherein the cutting faces of opposing pairs of cutting blades mesh with a slight interference fit in a conjugate meshing action.
