A cable tie application tool is described that includes an electro-mechanical tensioning system. When the electro-mechanical tensioning system is controlled by a processor to tighten a cable, a reactionary force through a drive nut that is pivotally mounted to a tension bar can be monitored and measured by a strain gauge, a load cell, or other sensing system. This reactionary force is an indication of tension on the cable tie and is monitored by the processor until the tension reaches a predetermined tension, at which point, the processor causes a motor in the tensioning system to stop increasing the tension on the cable tie. The processor activates a cut-off system to cut the cable tie that has been tightened to the predetermined tension.

Discussed is a notching apparatus for a secondary battery that includes: a lower mechanism comprising a die and a die holder to which the die is fixed, the die engaging an electrode provided with a coating portion and a non-coating portion; a stripper including a first stripper pressing the coating portion and a pair of second strippers pressing and fixing the non-coating portion; an upper mechanism including a punch provided between the pair of second strippers and provided with a cutting blade cutting the non-coating portion disposed between the pair of second strippers and a punch holder allowing the punch to move in a direction of the lower mechanism; and a pressing member pressing the non-coating portion disposed between the pair of second strippers to increase in tension force when the non-coating portion is cut by the punch.

A device for forming an opening in a nipple of a baby bottle has a housing having a platform formed on a top surface thereof. a cutting unit is positioned on the platform. The cutting unit moves in an up and down manner forming the opening in the nipple. A holding device on the platform has a base and a cutout formed in a top surface of the base holding the nipple there within. The cutout is formed to hold the nipple so that an area of the nipple where the opening is formed is positioned in a bottom area of the cutout. A slot is formed in a bottom section of the cutout and extending through the base, the slot allowing the cutting unit to penetrate through the nipple and into the slot. The cutting unit contacts and stretches an interior wall of the nipple where the opening is to be formed reducing disfiguration where the opening is formed. When the cutting unit is withdrawn once the interior wall has been penetrated therethrough, the interior wall of the nipple where the opening is formed returning to an initial non-stretched state.

A hot knife apparatus for cutting tubular webbing. The hot knife includes an anvil having a surface for cutting a tubular webbing, and a hot knife positioned above the anvil adapted to cut the tubular webbing on the surface of the anvil. The anvil has a first slope on an input side of the apparatus and a second slope on an output side of the apparatus. A pair of spreaders is positioned adjacent to the first slope and the second slope for applying tension to the tubular webbing.

A roll-dispensed stock container is provided with fixation strips attached to the body of the container and a cutter assembly attached to a lid of the container. Roll-dispensed stock is secured by the fixation strips when the lid of the container is in a closed configuration and the cutter assembly is configured to separate a sheet of the roll-dispensed stock of a desired length.
