The present invention provides a method for trimming a side portion of a pre-manufactured leading-edge protection element for a wind turbine blade. The element comprises a first side portion and a second side portion, the first side portion, when mounted to the wind turbine blade, extending from the leading edge and along a part of a pressure side of the wind turbine blade, and the second side portion, when mounted to the wind turbine blade, extending from the leading edge and along a part of a suction side of the wind turbine blade, or vice versa. The method comprises steps of: providing a support structure and a first cutting tool; arranging element on the support structure and fixating the element to the support structure, and cutting along a predetermined cutting path, whereby the leading-edge protection element is trimmed to a predetermined length. A corresponding system is also provided.

The invention relates to an applicator unit, a tire building device and a method for applying a strip to a drum, wherein the applicator unit comprises an applicator roller and a cutter, wherein the applicator roller comprises a roller body that is rotatable about a roller axis for applying the strip to the drum in an application direction perpendicular to said roller axis, wherein the applicator roller and the cutter are configured to cooperate for cutting the strip on the applicator roller along a helical cutting path about the roller axis.

A method includes using a feed system to feed a tubing holder toward a cutting system. A plurality of sections of tubing are coupled at intervals along a first spine of the tubing holder, each of the plurality of sections of tubing extending away from the first spine in a direction that is transverse to a feed direction of the feed system. The method also includes using the cutting system to cut a first section of tubing of the plurality of sections of tubing. The cutting system cuts the first section of tubing at a plurality of locations to separate a plurality of subsections of the first section of tubing.

A blade storage array is detachably mountable with a tissue log cutting saw. The saw has a cutting arm with a tool holder receptacle adapted and configured to hold a circular saw blade for the saw. The array has a plurality of storage units. Each storage unit is adapted and configured to store a circular saw blade for the saw. Each storage unit has a tool holder receptacle adapted and configured to hold a circular saw blade. Each storage unit is adapted and configured to move perpendicularly to the saw blade center axis.

A method includes selecting a cutting wheel assembly of a plurality of cutting wheel assemblies of a cutting system. Each cutting wheel assembly includes a different number of cutting blades. The method includes using a feed system to feed tubing toward the cutting system. The method also includes using the cutting system to cut the tubing concurrently at a plurality of locations to separate one or more subsections of tubing. The plurality of locations corresponds to a particular number of cutting blades of the selected cutting wheel assembly.
