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.

A cutting device and corresponding method for cutting a relatively rigid material, such as for example paper, cardboard, plastic material, composite or other. The cutting device includes a first cutting disc sharpened along its peripheral edge and rotating around a first axis of rotation. A second cutting disc, also sharpened along its peripheral edge and rotating around a first axis of rotation (X3), is disposed in front of the first cutting disc with respect to the material and is co-planar with the first cutting disc (14).

A cutting unit to facilitate ejecting a slice that is cut off from a product strand a radial distance between a blade edge of the rotating blade. The functional edge of the stop plate may be adjusted during the cutting movement. In one embodiment, the functional edge of the stop plate may be adjusted at an end of the cutting movement.

The present embodiments are directed to apparatus and methods for cutting an object. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a cutting device and an actuation device operatively coupled to the cutting device. A guide structure may be coupled at least partially between the cutting device and the actuation device. A supporting framework may provide a guiding path for linear advancement or retraction of the guide structure, and in turn linear advancement or retraction the cutting device, upon actuation of the actuation device.

The invention relates to a tube cutter (1:1.1) for cutting a round tube (100). The tube cutter (1:1.1) comprises a main body (2:2.1), a cutting device (3) assigned to the main body (2:2.1), and a rotary guide (4) for the main body (2:2.1). The rotary guide (4) is designed to rotatably receive the round tube (100) in order to allow for a rotation of the tube cutter (1:1.1) about the central axis (110) of the round tube (100) along its outer circumference (120). The cutting device (3) has a cutting part (5) with a blade (6) lying in a cutting plane (7) and is designed such that, with a rotation of the tube cutter (1:1.1) about the round tube (100), the blade (6) executes a circumferential cut (400) in the cutting plane (7). In the tube cutter (1:1.1), at least one forming element (8) is also provided, which protrudes into the cutting plane (7) or is positioned at least in the cutting plane (7) and is designed such that, with the rotation of the tube cutter (1:1.1) about the round tube (100), it acts in a forming manner on the outer circumference (120) of the round tube (100), in order to form a bevel (131; 141) at an end of at least one of the tube parts (130, 140), created by the cut (400) of the blade (6), by means of material displacement. The invention also relates to a method for cutting a round tube (100) to length.
