A method involves conveying tissue logs in a saw conveyor. The conveyor has independent lane control cutting and variable conveyor flight length. In one aspect of the method a first tissue log is received in a lane of a conveyor. With a first log advancement member, the first tissue log is advanced in the lane of the conveyor for cutting with a tissue log saw. A second tissue log is received in the lane of the conveyor when the first tissue log has advanced sufficiently in the lane to accommodate the second tissue log in the lane. With a second log advancement member, the second tissue log is advanced in the lane of the conveyor for cutting with the tissue log saw independently of the step of advancing the first tissue log in the lane. The conveyor may also have multiple lanes.

A muntin bar fabrication system can be used to efficiency produce a wide variety of different types of muntin bars, allowing the fabrication of both standard and custom muntin bar assemblies for doors, windows, and other fenestration products. In some examples, the fabrication system includes a muntin bar stock storage assembly that holds multiple different types of muntin bar stock. The system also includes a muntin bar stock extraction device that extracts one of the different types of muntin bar stock from the storage assembly and conveys the extracted muntin bar stock to a feed device. The feed device feeds the extracted piece of muntin bar stock into a cutting system that includes a multi-axis cutter. The cutting system that performs one or more cutting operations on the extracted muntin bar stock so as to fabricate one or more individual muntin bars from the extracted muntin bar stock.

Device for cutting and/or splitting wood is disclosed. The device comprises a stationary blade co-operating with a reciprocating blade disposed at a front end of a frame, a rear blade having a splitting edge disposed at a rear end of the frame, a movable unit coupled to the reciprocating blade is configured to move along a linear path disposed on the frame. A drive means coupled to the movable unit moves the movable unit forward for moving the reciprocating blade so that a wood received into an aperture of the blade is cut when the reciprocating blade moves pasts the stationary blade. The drive means moves the movable unit rearward for pushing the wood there along the path towards the rear blade for splitting of wood by splitting edge.

A bottle cutter apparatus, systems and methods of using the same are provided. Specifically, the bottle cutter apparatus comprises a stage for holding a bottle and a rotatable arm having a blade thereon for scoring a glass bottle, or any glass tubular item. The stage is modular and movable, thereby accommodating different sized bottles thereon for precise scoring with the arm and blade.

To provide a pipe cutting machine capable of cutting a pipe even of a large diameter efficiently in a short period of time, and achieving excellent economical efficiency and excellent durability with a simple, compact, and light-weight configuration.

A pipe cutting machine cuts a pipe 10 at a right angle to the center line of the pipe 10. The pipe cutting machine comprises: rotary blades 20, 20 in a pair, with a plane at a right angle to the center line of the pipe 10 to be cut defined as an x-y plane and the center of the pipe 10 defined as a coordinate origin, the rotary blades being arranged to face each other on both sides of a y axis in such a manner that blade edges of the rotary blades 20, 20 overlap each other in the direction of an x axis; a straightforward driving mechanism 50 that drives the rotary blades 20, 20 in a pair straightforward in opposite directions of a y-axis direction so as to make the rotary blades 20, 20 in a pair pass each other on the x axis and in the vicinity of the x axis; and a power direction conversion mechanism 46 and a power direction conversion mechanism 47 that change part of straightforward driving force in the y-axis direction to force in the x-axis direction and move the rotary blades 20, 20 in a pair outwardly to get farther from the y axis for avoiding interference between the blade edges when the rotary blades 20, 20 in a pair pass each other on the x axis and in the vicinity of the x axis.

A slicing machine for slicing a product calibre into slices and producing shingled or stacked portions from the slices includes a slicing unit, a feeding unit for feeding at least one calibre to the slicing unit along a feeding direction, a discharge unit for discharging the slices or the portions in a direction of travel of the machine, and a gripper movable along the feeding direction. The gripper includes a product parameter detection apparatus configured to detect at least one product parameter of the calibre of product held by the gripper. The product parameter detection apparatus is configured to communicate with a product parameter analysis apparatus configured to store product parameters detected by the product parameter detection apparatus and/or to process them into a processing result.

A cutting device includes a frame and a counter construction fitted in the frame. The cutting device also includes a force member rotatably supported to the frame and extending in the radial direction up to the counter construction, overlapping in the axial direction relative to the axis of rotation of the force member. In addition, the cutting device includes equipment for rotating the force member and thereby for cutting material in cooperation with the counter construction. The force member includes a profile for taking the material to be cut against the counter construction for cutting the material.

A cutting machine comprising one or more form tubes that are divided in two in the longitudinal direction into a front form tube section and a rear form tube sectionat least across a portion of its circumference, so that the two form sections can be moved from a pressing position in which they are aligned with each other into a loading position in which they are not aligned with each other, and in the loading position the rear form tube section can be loaded with a new meat strand while the rest of the previous meat strand is still being cut into slices and moved in the front form tube section. The blade may be disposed to simultaneously cut slices from a plurality of form tubes and may be disposed for motion in the longitudinal direction as well as a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction.
