An absorbent article processing device includes a cutter roll and an anvil roll. The cutter roll includes a roll main body; a blade protruding in a radial direction in a first angular range of a part of a circumferential direction of the roll main body; a first bearer protruding in the radial direction in a second angular range of a part of the circumferential direction including at least the first angular range and being in contact with the anvil roll, and being cut out in an angular range excluding the second angular range at a first end portion in an axial direction of the roll main body; and a second bearer provided around the entire circumference or a part of the circumferential direction and being in contact with the anvil roll at the second end portion in an axial direction of the roll main body.

Systems and methods are provided for cleaning composite fabrication machinery. One embodiment is a method for cleaning of a composite application machine, comprising: displacing an anvil of a head of an Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) machine from an operation location relative to a cutter, cleaning at least one of the cutter and the anvil, and relocating the anvil to the operation location relative to the cutter.

The present invention relates to a cutting tool (100) for providing holes in a core material layer (10). The cutting tool (100) comprises a cutting knife (110) having a cutting edge (112) configured to cut through the core material layer (10), and a support structure (120) onto which the cutting knife (110) is attached, wherein the support structure (120) is at least partly formed by an elastic material.

Provided are rotary dies that can cut amorphous materials while having suppressed wear. The rotary dies are adapted to cut a target, and include an anvil roller, a die cutter, a first elastic portion, and a second elastic portion. The anvil roller rotates while supporting the target. The die cutter has a projecting edge for cutting the target and is configured to rotate. The first elastic portion is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the anvil roller, and elastically deforms upon contacting the rear surface of the target when the target is cut. The second elastic portion is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the die cutter, and elastically deforms upon contacting the front surface of the target when the target is cut. The hardness of the first elastic portion is greater than that of the second elastic portion.

An anvil system for use in an ultrasonic bonder includes an anvil assembly including an anvil bar having an anvil aperture in at least one anvil bar longitudinal end, the anvil aperture having an anvil aperture inner surface, a shaft separate from the anvil bar and partially disposed in the anvil aperture, the shaft having a circumferential surface and extending outwardly beyond the anvil bar longitudinal end, and a first elastomeric shaft O-ring disposed on the shaft between the shaft circumferential surface and the anvil aperture inner surface; a mounting bracket with a mounting bracket hole having a hole surface; a bushing disposed in the mounting bracket hole and sized to accommodate an end of the shaft, the bushing having a bushing inner surface; and a second elastomeric shaft O-ring disposed on the shaft between the shaft circumferential surface and the bushing inner surface.

The present invention relates to a method for making an anvil roll, the method comprising the steps of: providing a cylindrically-shaped body consisting of a first material, wherein the first material is selected from the group consisting of: an iron alloy, an aluminum alloy, and a titanium alloy, and wherein the body comprises an outer circumferential surface; adding one or more metallic materials in the form of powder; and fusing, by applying power from a laser source, the one or more metallic materials to the outer circumferential surface of the body to form a plurality of protrusions having a conical or frustro-conical shape comprising tapering sides, from a broader base at the outer circumferential surface tapering outwardly towards a narrower tip or having a cylindrical shape.

An anvil is configured to operatively engage with a tooling agent. The anvil includes an outer surface, an opposing surface opposite the outer surface and an inner surface. One or more spring elements are disposed between the opposing surface and the inner surface. The springs provide a compliance to the anvil.

The present disclosure relates to adjusting and maintaining a position of a cutting surface used to create lines of weakness for rolled products. A perforating apparatus includes a housing rotatably supported by a frame, wherein the housing is adapted to rotate about a first axis. A support member including a first cutting surface is rotatably supported by the housing, wherein the support member is adapted to rotate about a second axis offset from the first axis. A roll including a second cutting surface is positioned adjacent the support member, wherein the roll is adapted to rotate about a third axis. The second cutting surface is adapted to contact the first cutting surface as the roll rotates about the third axis. The perforating apparatus is configured such that the functions of adjusting the position of the first cutting surface and holding the first cutting surface in a fixed position are separate.
