Provided are a slotter head, a slotter device and a box making machine comprising a cutter holder which is in a disk shape and is rotationally supported, a first cutting blade which is mounted to an outer peripheral portion of the cutter holder, a moving holder which is supported by the cutter holder movably along the circumferential direction, a second cutting blade which is mounted to an outer peripheral portion of the moving holder, a first drive device which rotationally drives the cutter holder, and a second drive device which rotationally drives the moving holder.

Provided is a film processing device including: a first cutting blade and a first receiver base that are opposed to each other with a film including at least two layers interposed therebetween, and are configured to move toward and away from each other; and a first distance adjuster that adjusts, without being in contact with the film, a minimum distance between the first cutting blade and the first receiver base.

An apparatus for modifying a sheet of a material (e.g., paper, cardstock, a plastic film, foil, fabric, etc.), or a substrate, includes a base, a handle and a plurality of tools held by the handle. The tools may be removably secured to the handle, and may be arranged in a variety of different ways. Each tool is capable of interacting with the substrate in a manner that will modify (e.g., cut, score, perforate, mark, etc.) the substrate. The handle is capable of being translated, or moved, at least partially across the substrate and of causing the tools to concurrently interact with and modify a plurality of laterally discrete, a substantially linear, substantially parallel locations of the substrate as the handle is translated at least partially across the substrate. Modular tools that may be used with an apparatus that holds a plurality of tools or with hand-held handles are also disclosed, as are methods for simultaneously modifying a plurality of laterally discrete, a substantially linear, substantially parallel locations of a substrate.

Disclosed is a method of cutting off self-adhesive linerless endless tape labels, using a cutter of a label printer, wherein the cutter comprises a transport roller, which is rotatable about an axis of rotation, and a blade unit that is linearly travelable in parallel with the axis of rotation of the transport roller and that has a cutting blade directed in the direction toward the transport roller, where tape labels pass between the transport roller and the blade unit, and are transported further step-wise in a motorized manner, by one label, and, between two consecutive further transport steps, the blade unit is linearly traveled in a motorized manner between a start position and a target position in order to cut off a label, such that the label is completely cut off and is held at the transport roller by the blade unit in the target position of the blade unit.

Equipment for making a precut in a pack of food cups, wherein the precuts makes separation by breaking along a separation line between two food cups easier, where the equipment includes at least one knife for making a precut groove and/or a full cut along the separation line and at least one counter-knife.

The present disclosure relates to a plotter for creasing and cutting a sheet of packaging material, the plotter comprising a work surface and a tool-holder head movable on the work surface according to a pre-set creasing pattern and a pre-set cutting pattern. The plotter comprises a creasing unit, configured to be mounted on the tool-holder head, which includes an extruder, configured to extrude at least one profile onto the work surface according to the pre-set creasing pattern, and a creasing tool provided with a groove adapted to couple, in use, with the at least one profile extruded by the extruder thereby obtaining a corresponding folding line on the sheet of packaging material. The invention also relates to a creasing unit and to a creasing method.

An automated glass scoring device and a pillar post are provided. The pillar post includes a body having a fluid inlet port, at least one internal passage, a fluid exit port, and a fluid flow metering element. At least a portion of the fluid flow metering element is disposed within the internal passage. The at least one internal passage provides a path for a fluid flow from the inlet port to the fluid exit port, and the fluid exit port is positioned such that the fluid flow exiting the fluid exit port exits in close proximity to the cutter wheel.

A cushioning material and a method to make the same is disclosed. The cushioning material includes: a cellulose base sheet; a co-layer binder disposed on the cellulose base sheet; and a plurality of discrete cuts disposed in the cellulose base sheet, wherein the cellulose base sheet is configured to be expanded and locked using heat activation and a solvent.

A strengthened glass sheet is separated into undamaged sheet segments by mechanically scribing one or more vent lines of controlled depth into the sheet surface, the depths of the scribed lines being insufficient to effect sheet separation, and then applying a uniform bending moment across the vent lines to effect separation into multiple sheet segments, the vent lines being scribed from crack initiation sites comprising surface indentations formed proximate to the edges of the glass sheet.

A method of perforating a web includes: rotating a cylinder comprising a longitudinal cylinder axis and at least one shaped anvil disposed on the cylinder; operatively engaging a support with the cylinder, wherein the support is moveable with respect to the cylinder; positioning a blade disposed on the support so as to cooperate in contacting relationship with the anvil, wherein the blade is substantially parallel to the longitudinal cylinder axis, and wherein at least one of the blade and the anvil comprise a plurality of teeth, and wherein adjacent teeth are separated by a recessed portion; and feeding a web between the cylinder and the support while the blade cooperates in contacting relationship with shaped anvil to perforate the web.
