The grinding unit includes at least one grinding wheel adapted to rotate around a respective rotation axis, and a thrust actuator adapted to push the grinding wheel against a cutting edge of a disc-shaped cutting blade. A load cell is also provided for detecting an axial thrust exerted on the grinding wheel.

A pipe cutting device includes: a body; a pipe fixing part disposed adjacent to a hollow hole of the body and capable of fixing a pipe; a rotating plate coupled to the body so as to be rotatable about a center axis of the hollow hole and connected to a first driving part to be rotationally controlled; a cam coupled to the rotating plate so as to be rotatable about a rotation shaft at a point spaced apart from the center axis; and a cutter part coupled to the rotating plate to rotate together with the rotating plate and to come into contact with the cam such that, according to rotation of the cam, a cutting tip moves forwards and backwards the center axis.

A turning apparatus has a turning device for engaging and turning a food item conveyed by a conveying means. The turning device includes a sweep arm structure for engaging the food item, a moving mechanism for turning the sweep arm structure from a first angular position to a second angular position, and a height displacement mechanism for raising and lowering the turning device.

An article of manufacture for an all-in-one beauty product extraction device is disclosed. The extraction device comprises a device frame, a soft tube capture slot, a locking and sealing arm, and a cutting handle. A safely-contained cutting blade is coupled to an underside of the cutting handle. The cutting handle wraps around the locking and sealing arm such that the cutting handle may slide up and down the length of the locking and sealing arm to cut the soft tube. Leaving the locking and sealing arm in a closed position seals the soft tube by pinching the opened end shut between an edge of the soft tube capture slot and the locking and sealing arm.

A pipe cutting machine with a pipe (3), from which a pipe section (3a) is to be cut to size, a stationary cutting die (1), a movable cutting die (2) which can be moved relative to the stationary cutting die (1), and a cutting mandrel (13) which is introduced into the pipe (3) and which comprises a stationary mandrel (14) and a mandrel (16) that can be moved relative to the stationary mandrel (14). The cutting mandrel (13) is arranged in a cutting position during a cutting process, and the cutting mandrel (13) is arranged in the pipe (3) in a floating manner. A magnetic coupling (6) is provided with a coupling stator (7) arranged outside of the pipe (3) and a coupling rotor (21) arranged on the stationary mandrel (14).

A cutting machine with improved log feed channels includes a plurality of feed channels of logs, a blade assembly for cutting logs, and a discharge assembly of final rolls and head and end trims, wherein every feed channel includes a clamp and a plurality of pushers, chain-moved, for feeding the logs in the clamp, wherein every feed channel includes a pair of chains and every pusher is jointly connected to both the chains of the pair of chains, wherein every chain of the pair of chains has a closed-loop extension defined by four pinions, describing an upper feed branch, a descent branch, a lower return branch and an ascent branch of the pusher.

The current invention relates to a system for accurately punching holes in a profile comprising at least one clamp, slideable in a first direction, and at least one punch unit for punching holes in the profile, wherein the at least one clamp comprises a linear encoder, configured for measuring a displacement in the first direction of the at least one clamp. The invention also relates to a method for accurately punching holes in a profile comprising clamping a profile in a clamp, displacing the profile by sliding the clamp in a first direction in a punch unit, and punching at least one hole in the profile by the punch unit, wherein the displacement of the profile in the first direction is measured with a linear encoder, coupled to the clamp.

Described herein is an array of finished products, each finished product in said array may have a Percent Compressibility of greater than 3.00% and an actual length ranging from about 10.955 inches to about 11.045 inches. The finished products may be paper towels, where the actual length is different for at least two finished products of the array and where at least one of the finished products of the array of finished products may comprise a protruding core and where at least one of the finished products may comprise a hidden core, and where each of the finished products are in a package.

In order to reliably detect, without supplying electric current or any other type of energy to a gripper, whether a rear end of a product caliber is in a grippable position close to a gripper base body and/or gripper claws are extended into the product caliber, i.e., are activated, a signal transmitter may be moved into an activated position via a purely mechanical operative connection between a sensing element, which detects the approach of the product caliber to the gripper base body in a contacting manner, which position can be detected by a sensor arranged far behind the gripper at a base frame of the machine.
