Disclosed are systems for applying materials to components. The system comprises a tool operable for transferring a portion of a material from a supply of the material to a component. A first portion of the tool may be configured for cutting along a side or edge of the portion of the material. A second portion of the tool may be configured for tamping, pressing, or pushing against the portion of the material to cause uncut sides or edges of the portion of the material attached to the supply of the material to be torn, severed, detached, or separated from the supply of the material.

A device for separating a gummed paper and a lining paper of a double-sided tape is provided. In an example, the device includes a housing, a first rotating structure and a second rotating structure which are provided within the housing and a control part. A chamber for accommodating a double-sided tape coil is provided in the housing. The control part fits the chamber, and the double-sided tape coil is rotatable around the control part. The housing is provided with a sliding groove for accommodating the first rotating structure. When the first rotating structure abuts against the second rotating structure, the first rotating structure is positioned in a first limiting part of the sliding groove.

The apparatus includes: a conveyance directional processing part for performing processing along the conveyance direction onto the sheet, the conveyance directional processing part being constructed such that at the same position in the conveyance direction, a plurality of processing machines of two or more types are aligned in a width direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction and provided in a freely attachable and detachable manner; a condition input part through which processing conditions in the conveyance directional processing part are inputted; a display part for displaying the processing conditions; and a processing machine selection control part for acquiring types and arrangement of the processing machines to be provided in the conveyance directional processing part such that the processing conditions may be satisfied and then displaying the acquired types and arrangement on the display part.

An automatic mesh reeling machine includes a manual fiber loading mesh disc mechanism, a quantitative fiber mesh conveying mechanism, a fiber mesh cutting mechanism, an automatic mesh reeling mechanism of left and right mesh reeling hands, an automatic fiber mesh drum delivery mechanism and an automatic mesh stapling mechanism of a mesh stapler. Information about replacing a mesh disc can be transmitted under the cooperation of a mesh pressing rod and a micro switch. A servo motor drives a metering roll to realize fixed length feeding of a mesh. A cutter cylinder drives a blade to cut the fixed length mesh. A left mesh reeling hand and a right mesh reeling hand reel the mesh into a closed mesh drum. A sliding table cylinder, pneumatic parallel clamping jaws and an electric servo cylinder move the fiber mesh drum to a specified position.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a blade having a plurality of teeth aligned in a row, a mover to move in a direction in which the plurality of teeth is aligned and form a perforation in a sheet sandwiched by the blade and the mover, and a pressure device to press the mover toward the blade.

A separating system for detaching containers from a thermoformed plastic web including a first row of containers. The system includes a stamp plate and a cutting plate. The stamp plate includes a first row of stamps associated with a first set of containers from the first row of containers and a second row of stamps associated with a second set of containers from the first row of containers. The cutting plate includes a first row of cutting openings associated with the first set of containers and a second row of cutting openings associated with the second set of containers. The first set of containers are detached from the thermoformed plastic web through being punched between the first row of stamps and the first row of cutting openings. The second set of containers are detached from the thermoformed plastic web through being punched between the second row of stamps and the second row of cutting openings.

The film dispenser includes a folding box (51) having an outer guide wall (55) and an inner guide wall (65) which both have a guide gap (53, 63), and a cutting device (1) which is configured to be displaced in a cutting direction (S) in a manner guided in the two guide gaps (53, 63) at the two guide walls (55, 65).

A core for winding yarn can include an oblong hollow body and a laser-cut structure disposed through a portion of a wall of the hollow body adjacent to an end of the hollow body. A method of cutting a core for winding yarn can include providing a core comprising an oblong hollow body, and irradiating a wall of the hollow body with a laser beam to form a laser-cut structure. A method of winding yarn can include placing a core on a winding mandrel, placing a tail of a length of yarn through a laser-cut structure of the core, and spinning the core to wind the length of yarn around the core. A bobbin can include yarn wound around a core including a laser-cut structure.
