A cutting assembly for cutting an extruded edible material includes an extrusion assembly having a food extrusion port that extrudes an edible material in an extrusion direction. A cutter frame having a cutting edge is positioned proximate the food extrusion port. The cutting edge moves through a cutting region proximate the extrusion port in a cutting motion. First and second servo motors are operably coupled to the cutter frame, wherein the first servo motor operates the cutting edge to define a first component of the cutting motion perpendicular to the extrusion direction. The second servo motor operates the cutting edge to define a second component of the cutting motion generally parallel with the extrusion direction. The first and second servo motors combine the first and second components to define a cutting path and a return path of the cutting edge through the cutting region.

Provided is a cutting device that prevents a variation of shocks or impacts applied to a substrate during a cutting operation. The cutting device includes a pressing part; a cutting part disposed so as to move with respect to the pressing part so as to contact the substrate on an opposite side of the pressing part to thereby sandwich the substrate between the cutting part and the pressing part to shear the substrate; a first force generation part for generating pressing force to press the pressing part against the substrate; and a first adjustment part for adjusting the pressing force in response to the force applied from the substrate to the pressing part when the pressing part presses the substrate with the first force generation part.

An apparatus for cutting a workpiece, the apparatus having a pair of spaced apart rails fixed to a handle, the rails extending away from the handle in a first direction, a guide carriage slidingly engaged with the rails, a blade carriage slidingly engaged with the rails between the handle and the guide carriage, a pair of runners for supporting the workpiece, one of the runners joined with the handle and a second one of the runners joined with the guide carriage, the runners extensive in a second direction non-parallel to the first direction, and a cutting blade engaged with the blade carriage in a position for cutting into the workpiece during relative movement between the apparatus and the workpiece. With the guide carriage adjusted for receiving the workpiece on the runners between the guide carriage and the handle, the blade carriage is adjusted to a location for severing the workpiece.

Disclosed is an an apparatus for forming cogs on a surgical thread, comprising: a bobbin having a suture thread wound thereonto; first and second tension rolls for maintaining, at regular tensions, the suture thread unwound from the bobbin; a pair of friction rolls for drawing the suture thread and allowing the suture thread to pass through so as to be discharged through an outgoing side; a tension plate operating up and down, for temporarily fixing the suture thread being discharged through the outgoing side by the friction roll; and a cog-forming knife for forming cogs by rotating and simultaneously moving forward toward the suture thread fixed by the tension plate and also obliquely moving to the left or the right so as to make oblique cuts on the surface of the suture thread.

A heat chamfering method for a glass panel includes bringing a heater into contact with an edge of a glass panel by causing the heater to approach a chamfering start point. heat-chamfering the edge by moving the heater from the chamfering start point to a chamfering end point along a chamfering line. and bringing the heater into non-contact with the glass panel by causing the heater to depart from the chamfering end point. The heat-chamfering may include maintaining contact pressure between the heater moving along the chamfering line and the glass panel within a predetermined range of change. In the approaching. an angle defined by a chamfering start point approach line and the chamfering line at the chamfering start point ranges from 155 to 175. In the departure, an angle defined by the chamfering line and a chamfering end point departure line ranges from 155 to 175.

A cutting device for cutting a food product that is conveyed by a conveyor means. The cutting device includes a first cutting blade and a moving mechanism attached to the first cutting blade for moving the first cutting blade sideways in either direction across the conveyor means, and a control unit. The first cutting blade is adapted to cut at least one incision in the product from one side of the product. The control unit is adapted to control the first cutting blade and the moving mechanism based on image data of the food product, and includes utilizing the image data in instructing the moving mechanism to adjust the position of the first cutting blade across the conveyor means.

A dog food slicing assembly includes a base that has a plurality of first engagements and a plurality of second engagements. A cutting guide is positionable on the base and each of the second engagements releasably engages the cutting guide for retaining the cutting guide on the base. The cutting guide has concave channel to receive a roll of dog food and a plurality of cutting slots distributed along the cutting guide. A cutting blade is sequentially insertable into each of the plurality of the cutting slots in the cutting guide to slice the roll of dog food into a plurality of disks. A lid is positionable on the base each of the plurality of first engagements releasably engages the lid. A storage recess integrated into the lid and a pair of tongs is stored in the storage recess gripping the plurality of disks of dog food.
