A sheet processing apparatus includes a conveyance portion, a punching portion, a moving portion, a first detecting portion, and a control unit configured to control the conveyance portion, the punching portion and the moving portion, wherein the control unit is configured, for a target position of each of a plurality of holes to be formed to a single sheet, to cause the first detecting portion to execute a detection process, and to execute a moving process of moving the moving portion based on the output value of the first detecting portion corresponding to the target position and a punching process of performing punching to the target position of the sheet by the punching portion after the moving process has been completed.

An image forming apparatus includes a cutting part cutting a medium, a transfer part arranged on a downstream side of the cutting part in a carrying direction and transfers a developer image to the medium; a flexure forming part having a guide part and forms a flexure of the medium by bending the medium between the cutting part and the transfer part in the carrying direction; and an opposing part that is arranged opposing the flexure forming part via a carrying path through which the medium is carried, wherein the guide part performs a retreat movement either before or after the cutting part starts to cut the medium, wherein the retreat movement is a movement of the guide part in which the guide part moves in a direction away from the opposing part.

A device, system and method for making custom printed products. In one embodiment of the method, input selecting one or more vector graphics is received from a user device along with a size of for the printed product. Pixel edge detection is performed on the image to generate a plurality of polygons corresponding to all shapes in the image. Polygons below a size threshold are removed. An offset is applied to each polygon. The polygons are combined. A smoothing algorithm is applied to the combined polygon. A set of curves that define the smoothed polygon is determined. A cut path is dynamically generating for the printed product in real-time in dependence on the modified vector graphic cut path and the received size so that the cut path has a shape dependent on the modified vector graphic cut path and a size dependent on the received size. The image is printed on a substrate for the image product in dependence on the received size and the offset so that the printed image has a printed size equal to the received size less the offset. The substrate is cut in dependence on the cut path.

A cutting plotter includes a cutting plotter shell, a placement plate disposed outside the cutting plotter shell, an upper transmission assembly and a lower transmission assembly disposed at two ends of the cutting plotter shell, and a belt assembly disposed in the cutting plotter. The lower transmission assembly and the upper transmission assembly correspond to each other to assist paper in entering the cutting plotter. A slide rod is disposed in the cutting plotter shell and located at the top of the upper transmission assembly, and a cutting tool assembly is disposed on the slide rod. The belt assembly includes a driving motor. A belt body is steered through a steering belt wheel of the belt assembly, and the distance between parallel parts of the belt body is decreased through two small-radius tensioning belt wheels, such that the chain installation space is reduced and the cutting plotter is compact.

The invention relates to an output unit for a provision individually per track of sheet material for placing beneath products fed on two or multiple tracks, in particular beneath food portions, said output unit comprising a draw-in device that is configured to draw in individually per track a respective one material web of the sheet material per track and that in particular has at least one driven draw-in shaft and at least one draw-in pressure unit; a separation device that is configured to separate the sheet material from the material webs; and an ejection device that is configured to discharge sheet material on two or multiple tracks and that comprises a driven ejection roller and an ejection counter-unit that forms an ejection gap for the sheet material together with the ejection roller, wherein the ejection roller is jointly associated with at least two tracks.

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.

An adhesive tape dispenser head assembly arranged to dispense pieces of adhesive tape onto an object can include: a feed spool arranged to hold adhesive tape; and a tape launching cutter movable between a first configuration in which the tape launching cutter is arranged to launch the adhesive tape onto the moving object and a second configuration in which the tape launching cutter is arranged to cut the tape to a desired length.

A dispenser for dispensing an edible product, preferably in the form of a tape, and more preferably a roll of tape. The dispenser includes a dispenser body in which the product is contained, and a pusher which engages a surface of the product to push the product out of an opening in the dispenser body.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a conveyance portion, a punching portion, a moving portion, a first detecting portion, and a control unit configured to control the conveyance portion, the punching portion and the moving portion, wherein the control unit is configured, for a target position of each of a plurality of holes to be formed to a single sheet, to cause the first detecting portion to execute a detection process, and to execute a moving process of moving the moving portion based on the output value of the first detecting portion corresponding to the target position and a punching process of performing punching to the target position of the sheet by the punching portion after the moving process has been completed.

An apparatus and a method for dispensing discrete sections of double-sided adhesive tape, comprising a reel support unit whose position is adjustable so as to vary a length of the section of double-sided adhesive tape to be dispensed.
