There is disclosed a method of manufacturing an adhesive tape (32), comprising a tape slitting operation in which, using a tape slitting head (92), a web (30) having a plurality of transversely spaced adhesive stripes (169) is slit into a plurality of adhesive tapes (32) which each have an adhesive stripe (16). The tape slitting is controlled such that the web (30) is slit in register with the adhesive stripes (16) by monitoring the transverse position of at least a part of at least one adhesive stripe (16) and adjusting the relative transverse position between the tape slitting head (92) and the web (30) in response thereto. There is also disclosed apparatus for manufacturing an adhesive tape (32).

An apparatus for forming and sealing a duct member for use in an air handling system. At least one work station accommodates a work piece, which is generally a cylindrical tube.

A dry electrode manufacturing apparatus includes a plurality of rollers that laminate fine powder onto a current collector by calendaring the fine powder into a free standing film. A plurality of trimming knives adjust a film width of the free standing film passing by at least one roller among the plurality of rollers. A vision portion photographs a surface of the current collector on which the free standing film is laminated. A controller controls positions of the trimming knives based on the film width of the free standing film laminated onto the surface of the current collector.

A slitter device comprising a circular blade at an outer periphery of the slitter device. One or more row of transverse blades at the outer periphery and on a side of the circular blade, the blades of the row of transverse blades being oriented transversely relative to the circular blade.

This printing paper cutting device for a printer is installed on a printer so as to cut printing papers which have finished printing, and comprises: a fixed blade (51) fixed to the printer (1); and a movable blade (52) installed on the printer to be able to reciprocate such that same moves toward the fixed blade by means of a driving means, thereby cutting printing papers while overlapping the fixed blade. The fixed blade (51) comprises: a plate-shaped fixed blade body portion (511) fixed to the printer (1); an inclined portion (513) inclined from the plane of the fixed blade body portion (511); and a fixed blade cutter portion (512) formed along the front end of the inclined portion (513). The movable blade (52) comprises: a plate-shaped movable blade body portion (521) installed on the printer (1); an inclined portion (523) inclined from the plane of the movable blade body portion (521); and a movable blade cutter portion (522) formed along the front end of the inclined portion (523). The plane on which the fixed blade cutter portion (512) and the movable blade cutter portion (522) overlap is spaced apart from the plane of the fixed blade body portion (511) and the plane of the movable blade body portion (521).

An arrangement for a corrugator for producing corrugated cardboard comprises a material web delivery device for delivering a material web and an edge cutting device, which is arranged downstream of the material web delivery device in a transport direction of the material web and has at least one edge cutting apparatus for edge-cutting the material web, and a digital printing device, which is arranged downstream of the edge cutting device in the transport direction of the material web for printing on the material web.

The invention generally proposes a method, a cutting device (1), a removal device (20) and an unpacking device (26) for preferably mechanically discharging a container (3) from a bag (2), wherein the bag (2) is cut open with at least one cut (13) and the container (3) is discharged via an opening (14) formed by the cut (13), wherein, in order to cut the bag (2), a disk-shaped knife blade (5) interacts with a counter element (6), in particular rolls on the counter element (6) (FIG. 2).

A machine and method of forming a protruded material from a generally flat substrate is disclosed. The method includes inserting one or more pieces of flat material into a machine; cutting the flat material using a cutting die comprising one or more cutting blades; and pressing together cut pieces of the flat material using a press die to form protrusions, wherein the one or more cutting blades are disengaged from the flat material periodically and the cutting die is repositioned to a starting position that maintains a set distance from the press die.

An apparatus for cutting a sheet of aerosol generating material includes a first cutting element having a cutting edge and a second cutting element. The first cutting element is rotatable about its central axis and the second cutting element that is rotatable about its central axis. The central axis of the first cutting element and the central axis of the second cutting element are spaced apart by an initial pre-defined distance. The first and second cutting elements are configured to cut a sheet of aerosol generating material as it is conveyed between the first and second cutting elements. The apparatus further includes a housing configured to support the first cutting element relative to the second cutting element. The housing includes an anti-backlash gear coupled to the first cutting element. The housing is adjustable to move the first cutting element relative to the second cutting element to set a new pre-defined distance between the central axes of the first and second cutting elements. The present invention also relates to a method of adjusting an apparatus for cutting a sheet of aerosol generating material.
