The present invention relates to a machine for cutting decorations for frustoconical bodies, for cutting printed strips wherein arch-shaped decorations and disposable trapezoidal portions are alternated. The machine comprises two longitudinal supports mounted on clamping pieces and carriers of respective groups of counter blades; and two independent groups of blades attached to the respective groups of counter blades and defining a gap between them of increasing width towards a lower gravity outlet opening of the trapezoidal portions separated by cutting. The blades of each group are fixed to respective drive shafts mounted in holes in the longitudinal supports and fixed to a common plate driven by a cylinder. The clamping parts of the longitudinal supports and the common plate are exchangeable for others that provide different inclinations and separations of the groups of blades and counter blades.

The present disclosure refers to a cutter assembly for a printer, the cutter assembly including: a cutter module including a cutting blade; a support element extending along a cutting direction; and a carriage module to move the cutter module along the support element; wherein the carriage module is moved by a motor, the motor being controlled by a controller to move at a substantially constant speed along the cutting direction, and wherein the controller monitors a power signal of the motor and detects a cutting feature in the cutting direction based on the power signal.

Described is a method for making single-use capsules for beverages including the steps of: providing an upper flange having at least one hole; providing a support having at least one seat for housing a rigid cup-shaped body; inserting a rigid cup-shaped body in said housing seat, said rigid cup-shaped body having an inner space and an open upper opening; providing a piece of filter material above the upper flange; actuating a first step of feeding, by means of a pushing element, a central portion of said piece of filter material towards said hole, up to an intermediate position; upon reaching said intermediate position of the pushing element, performing a main locking of said piece of filter material relative to said upper flange and making a main cut of the piece of filter material along a predetermined main closed cutting line, extending substantially circularly about said central portion, to define a filter for infusion of beverages.

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.

A method and a cutting system for sheets includes a cutting center, a sorting apparatus with handlers for gripping pieces cut by the cutting center, and a transfer board, movable between the handler area and the inside of the cutting center, supporting the sheets. The cutting center includes a cutting head movably mounted above the transfer board with a distance detection sensor, detecting distance data with respect to a sheet on the transfer board. The cutting center and sorting apparatus have respective first and second control logics. A data interface unit lies between the first and second control logic, by which distance data from the distance detection sensor, are transferred. The second control logic has a processor defining, periodically during operation cycles, an altitude map based on the distance data detected in a number of positions, and controlling a gripping step of the handlers based on the altitude map.

A thermal printer configured to perform printing on a linerless label including an adhesive surface formed on a back surface of the linerless label, the thermal printer comprising a cutter unit that includes: a fixed blade provided on the back surface side of the linerless label; and a movable blade configured to reciprocate between a first position at which the movable blade is opposed to the fixed blade through intermediation of the linerless label, and a second position at which at least a part of the movable blade overlaps the fixed blade and the movable blade forms a cut in the linerless label, wherein the movable blade includes: a first blade edge configured to form the cut in the linerless label; and a groove, which has an edge, and is formed in a sliding surface configured to slide on the fixed blade when the movable blade is at the second position, and wherein the edge includes: an adhesive blocking edge portion formed on the sliding surface along an advancing direction; and an adhesive scraping edge portion formed on the sliding surface so as to cross the advancing direction.

A tool including a tool surface and further including coding indicia linked, at least indirectly, with the surface of the tool, the coding indicia capable of being detected by a sensor, the coding indicia functioning as a pointer to information relating to said tool or its use.

Provided is a printer having a simple structure, which is low in cost, and capable of shortening of the cutting time, improving cutting accuracy of the printed paper and improving the quality of an output printed object. A printing mechanism performs printing on paper delivered from a roll of paper by a thermal transfer method and produce printed paper. The movable blade moves in the width direction, and cuts the printed paper. A control unit controls the movable blade drive unit based on the width and the thickness of the paper and the moving distance of the movable blade detected after it is detected that the movable blade is at the standby position, and causes the movable blade drive unit to generate a driving force that changes according to the width, the thickness, and a position of the movable blade in the width direction of the paper.

The invention relates to a cutter for self-adhesive linerless endless tape labels, said cutter comprising a transport roller, which is rotatable about an axis of rotation, and a blade unit that comprises a blade carriage, which is linearly travelable in parallel with the axis of rotation of the transport roller, and a cutting blade that is rotationally fixedly held at the blade carriage and that is directed in the direction toward the transport roller, wherein the endless tape labels can be led between the transport roller and the blade unit. The blade unit comprises a blade holder that forms an assembly with the cutting blade, in which assembly the cutting blade projects with a fixed overhang over the blade holder, with the assembly being displaceably fastened to the blade carriage and a spring device, in particular a compression spring, being provided that preloads the assembly into an extended position.
