A cutting machine head and a cutting machine are provided in the present invention. The cutting machine head includes a fixing plate, a cutter holder, a cutting component, a machine head lifting mechanism and a machine head rotating mechanism. The cutter holder is mounted on the fixing plate. The machine head lifting mechanism is connected to the cutter holder, and is used to drive the cutter holder to move up and down on the fixing plate. The cutting component includes at least two cutter head assemblies mounted on the cutter holder. The machine head rotating mechanism is connected to the cutter head assemblies for driving the cutter head assemblies to rotate. The rotating angle of each cutter head assembly of the cutting machine head can be controlled. The machine head rotating mechanism controls the cutter head assembly to rotate when the machine head is cutting, and the resulting cutting line has no flaws, which can ensure the integrity of the cutting pattern.

An electronic cutting machine includes at least one housing to which a drive roller is coupled for moving a sheet to be cut in a first direction and a cutter assembly coupled to the housing and moveable in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.

A multilayered sheet assembly for forming a sign on an object includes a carrier layer including a first side and a second side, a sign layer that is arranged on the first side of the carrier layer via a first adhesive layer, and a strip layer that is arranged on the second side of the carrier layer via a second adhesive layer in an adhesively separable manner. The sign layer carries a third adhesive layer at an exposed side that is across from the carrier layer to allow a sign that is formed by the sign layer to adhere to the object at the exposed side while releasing from the carrier layer.

Method of manufacturing a substrate with a cut thermal film comprises obtaining an input digital image of a design to be transferred to the substrate; storing the input image in memory; rendering design elements of the design as a single output image; based upon a bleed size value, a maximum number of negative areas, a maximum number of positive areas, and attribute values: resizing the image to include a border for bleed; filling transparent areas of the image with the substrate attribute values; creating a cutting path; creating a mask image; inverting the mask image; modifying the mask image to adjust fill areas around details, to limit negative areas to be less than the maximum number of negative areas, and to limit positive areas to be less than the maximum number of positive areas; creating cutting path data in memory as a vector path outlining the mask image.

A method for cutting a workpiece includes cutting the workpiece along a predefined cutting contour to separate a workpiece part from a scrap part, and checking whether the workpiece part has been fully separated from the scrap part during the cutting. The workpiece is re-cut along an additional cutting contour laterally offset from the predefined cutting contour if it is found during the checking that the workpiece part has not been fully separated from the scrap part. The disclosure also relates to an associated machine for cutting a workpiece.

Disclosed is a cutting machine, having a table with a working surface designed to receive an object to be cut, a light curtain device and a protective pane. A crossbeam is arranged above tho working surface, designed for linear positioning parallel to a first horizontal axis. A module is mounted on the crossbeam and provides for linear positioning, parallel to a second horizontal axis. The second horizontal axis extends at right angles to the first horizontal axis. In a first operating state, the protective pane on one side of the table is below the working surface plane. In a second operating state, both the protective patio and a light curtain generated by the light curtain device, on the side of the table are at least partially above the working surface. In the second operating state the light curtain is located at least partially above the protective pane.

A cutting machine for cutting a flat surface having a graphical design with optical registration features is disclosed. The cutting machine includes a working surface for receiving at least one object, a first camera unit arranged so that the field of vision encompasses the whole working surface, a working group above the working surface, and at least one cutting device for cutting the at least one object. A computing unit with a circuit and program code for controlling the cutting machine includes a storage unit, a circuit and program code for evaluating images of the first camera unit to identify registration features of the at least one object in an image of the first camera unit, and being designed to define a cutting path for the cutting device according to at least one stored instruction and based on positions of the registration features in the image.
