The invention is to a device and method, for cutting a can blank in which case an end section of the can blank is severed. The can blank is moved by means of a conveyor arrangement at a constant speed about a first axis of rotation. Preferably, a laser beam is used as the cutting means. A deflecting arrangement deflects the laser beam to a focal point where the side surface of the can blank is located. Due the rotation of the can blank about its longitudinal axis, the axial end section of said can blank is severed. The focal point of the laser beam does not change relative to the longitudinal axis of the can blank during the laser cutting operation.

A cutting machine for cutting window coverings includes a machine base, on which a cutting device and a clamping device are mounted. The cutting device has a cutter. A blade edge of the cutter is oblique to a sustaining face, on which the window covering is rested, of the machine base. It is beneficial to cut a first rail, a covering material, and a second rail of the window covering in sequence. The cutting machine may cut the window covering with a flat cutting facet to have a good cutting quality and also extend the life of the cutter.

Described is a method for chamfering the end of a pipe (2) made from thermoplastic material, comprising the following steps: localized and circumferential heating of an axial portion (3) of the pipe (2) at a predetermined temperature; plastic deformation of the heated axial portion (3) using a tool (4) for forming a chamfer on the axial portion (3).

The invention relates to a device (10) for the at least partial removal of the outside circumferential surface of a pipe consisting of plastic, comprising a hollow cylindrical housing (12), with a wall that surrounds a cylindrical interior space that accommodates the body in an axially moveable manner, at least one opening in the wall as well as a cutting element (74) that is associated with the opening (62) and with its cutting section projects into the interior space. To be able to remove the outside circumferential surface of the pipe in an unproblematic manner and to the desired degree, it is suggested that the cutting element (74) in a front view exhibit a disc or ring geometry and be connected to the housing (12) by a fastening element that extends in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cutting element, whereby the cutting element can be connected to the housing in the desired position by rotating it about its longitudinal axis.

Disclosed is a cutting device (100) and a method for manufacturing a fiber-based container (10). The cutting device (100) has a holding device (50) for holding the fiber-based container (10) and a cutting laser (20) for generating a laser beam (21). The laser beam (21) of the cutting laser (20) and the fiber-based container (10) can be moved relative to one another by means of the laser beam (21) in order to separate an excess projection (11) of the fiber-based container (10).

A cutting and insertion device for cutting an elongate tube to tube sections includes a frame section, a spinning wheel, a sheave section, a first pipe, a set of clamping members, and a set of plunger members. The spinning wheel mounts a roll of the elongate tube. The sheave section is attached to the frame section to allow traversal of the elongate tube through a first pipe. The first pipe is attached adjacent to the sheave section to receive the elongate tube, and includes slits to receive a knife to slice the elongate tube exposed to the knife at the slits to form a tube section. The clamping members are attached to the frame section to clamp the sliced tube sections at opposing ends. The plunger members are attached to the frame section to insert a fitting to the plunger member at the opposing ends of the sliced tube sections.

Provided is a cutting apparatus 10 including a workpiece fixing jig 2 that supports a workpiece 1, rotates by operation of rotary drive means 3, and rotates the workpiece 1 while fixing the workpiece 1; rotary drive means 3 for driving and rotating the workpiece fixing jig 2; support means 4a to 4c for supporting the workpiece 1 while rotating along with rotation of the workpiece fixing jig 2; cutter knives 5a and 5b that cut the rotating workpiece 1 at least at axially opposite ends of the workpiece 1; and slide moving means 6 for slidably moving the cutter knives. The cutting apparatus 10 having a simple apparatus configuration does not produce chips as a result of cutting with small variations in size and with high planarity of cut surfaces.

Described is a method for chamfering the end of a pipe (2) made from thermoplastic material, comprising the following steps: localised and circumferential heating of an axial portion (3) of the pipe (2) at a predetermined temperature; plastic deformation of the heated axial portion (3) using a tool (4) for forming a chamfer on the axial portion (3).

A device for inhibiting rotational motion of an article to be processed comprises a pressure plate assembly including a generally ring-shaped guide assembly. The guide assembly has and at least two guide pins extending from a first side in a transverse direction. The guide assembly further includes at least two resilient devices positioned over a respective one of the at least two guide pins and a container guide having an aperture for receiving an open end of a container moving in a first direction and for aligning the open end with a processing device. The container guide is positioned adjacent to the first side of the pressure plate assembly. At least two resilient devices are configured to be compressed in response to movement of the container guide in a first direction and are configured to decompress in response to movement of the container guide in a second, generally opposite direction.

A separating device cuts an extruded pipe to length. The separating device has a separator that is rotatably mounted and rotates about an extrusion axis. Cutting tools are arranged on the separator and move in accordance with received energy. An electromechanical drive can move a carrier that supports a cutting tool. The electromechanical drive and the carrier are on a rotating receiver of the separator. An element for energy transfer is connected to a moving part of the rotating receiver, the element being coupled to an energy supplier arranged on the rotating receiver. The energy and control commands are transmitted to the electromechanical drive via the element for energy transfer and the energy supplier. The electromechanical drive, the carrier, or the cutting tool can yield to a force counter to a separating force if that force is greater than a required separating force for cutting the extruded pipe.
