A punching station for arranging one or more penetration elements in or through an edge portion of a relief plate precursor or for arranging one or more perforations in the edge portion. The punching station includes a punching means comprising one or more penetration elements or perforating elements, the punching means configured for arranging the one or more penetration elements or perforating elements through or in an edge portion of the relief plate precursor. An abutment means is aligned with the punching means and configured for forming an abutment for the edge of the relief plate precursor. A detection means is configured to detect at two or more locations along the abutment means whether the edge portion of the relief plate precursor is correctly positioned against the abutment means. A signalling means is configured to communicate a signal in function of the detection by the detection means.

A printer includes a transport part that transports a sheet, a printing part that prints on the sheet, a cutting part that cuts the sheet by moving a movable blade toward a stationary blade, and a controller that controls the transport part and the cutting part. When the sheet is label paper having an adhesive layer, the controller controls the transport part and the cutting part to transport the sheet rearward before moving the movable blade that cut the sheet, move the movable blade in a direction away from the stationary blade in a state where the sheet is fed in rearward, and thereafter transport the sheet frontward.

Discussed is an including a transfer unit transferring an electrode sheet having a plurality of notching grooves formed in a side surface thereof to a cutting point via a measuring point, wherein, when a front notching groove which is disposed at a front end in the electrode sheet is passing through the cutting point, a notching groove disposed in a rear end of the front notching groove is configured to pass through the measuring point; a detection unit at the measuring point to detect the notching groove passing through the measuring point and generating a notching groove detection signal; and a cutting unit at the cutting point to cut the electrode sheet according to the notching groove detection signal generated by the detection unit.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a puncher, a first sensor positioned upstream of the puncher in the conveyance direction, a second sensor positioned upstream of the first detection position in the conveyance direction, a drive source configured to drive the puncher, a controller configured to control the drive source. The controller executes a control mode including a first process of controlling a rotation speed of the puncher on a basis of a detection result of the second sensor and a second process of controlling the rotation speed of the puncher on a basis of a detection result of the first sensor. In the control mode, the controller does not stop rotation of the puncher in a period between the punching process on the preceding sheet and a punching process on the succeeding sheet.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a secondary battery and an apparatus for manufacturing a secondary battery. The method for manufacturing the secondary battery according to the present invention comprises: an electrode supply process of supplying an electrode through an electrode supply part; a first inspection process of detecting the supplied electrode to distinguish a normal electrode portion and an abnormal electrode portion through the first inspection part; and a notching process of notching the electrode, which is subjected to the first inspection process, in the notching part, wherein the notching process perform the notching through a laser so that the normal electrode portion and the abnormal electrode portion, which are detected in the first inspection process, are divided from each other.

The invention relates to a system made of an electronic display device having a display screen for displaying augmented reality, an electronic memory, and a cutting device for cutting planar cutting stock, e.g., paperboard, corrugated cardboard, film, textile, plastic, foam, or wooden slabs or sheets. The system has a computer unit for computing a position and alignment of the display device in relation to the cutting device. The display device is designed to be worn by a user and positioned in the field of vision of the user. The system is designed to display to the user retrieved cutting-stock-related information by means of the display screen in a manner readable by the user in the field of vision of the user, adapted to the position and alignment of the display device in relation to the cutting device, and linked to an actual and/or setpoint position of the cutting stock.

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for converting a sheet into a continuous strip, wherein the apparatus comprises a cutting device with one or more cutting members, one or more drives and a feeding device, wherein the apparatus is provided with one or more sensors for detecting the first longitudinal edge and the second longitudinal edge of the sheet and a control unit that is connected to the one or more drives, the feeding device and the one or more sensors for controlling the movement of the one more cutting members relative to the sheet based on the detection to create a sequence of cuts to form interconnected sheet sections, wherein the control unit is arranged for variably controlling the strip width.

In some examples, a print control strip includes at least one control patch configured as an element for color management. The element for color management may be configured to measure a color density and/or at least one spectral value and/or an area of coverage of individual printed printing colors. The print control strip further includes at least one control patch configured as a printing mark. The printing mark is configured for aligning a substrate in a transport direction and/or in a transverse direction. Additionally, the print control strip includes at least one control patch configured as a plate recognition patch. The plate recognition patch is configured to assign at least one printing color used to a printing plate and/or to an application mechanism and/or is configured for such assignment.

A method of processing fish portions determines at a control unit a target weight of a cut fish portion; inspects a fish portion using an inspection unit to determine a mass distribution of said fish portion and providing said mass distribution to the control unit; calculates a cutting plan of the poultry fish portion based on the target weight and the mass distribution using the control unit; uses a mechanical gripper so as to grip the fish portion and arrange said poultry fish portion for execution of the cutting plan; and cuts the fish portion using a cutting unit in accordance with the cutting plan so as to produce a cut fish portion in accordance with the target weight. A system for processing fish portions is configured to perform the foregoing method, among others.
