A longitudinal cutting device with a cutting mechanism, which is arranged between an infeed and a delivery and has rotary cutters movable transverse to the transport direction, comprises transport devices that are arranged on the knife receptacles of these rotary cutters and bridge the region of the cutting mechanism with a conveying effect.

A printer comprises at least one longitudinal cutter module to cut a print medium in a longitudinal direction with respect to a print media advance direction. The printer comprises a controller to position the longitudinal cutter module along a direction perpendicular to the print media advance direction. The controller is to receive a full-bleed print job and in response to receive print job to position the at least one cutter module along the direction perpendicular to the print media advance direction. The longitudinal cutter module is positioned by the controller to longitudinally cut the print medium.

Disclosed herein is a strip cutting apparatus for a diagnostic reagent kit that includes first and second shafts, each of which has knives and spacers arranged in such a way that two knives having blades facing each other and one spacer are arranged alternatively, and a guide member mounted to go between the first and second shafts to guide a diagnostic reagent, thereby accurately cutting the diagnostic reagent into strips of an approximately rectangular shape in a diagnostic reagent passing section and removing defect by preventing the strips from being twisted or bent. Since the guide member continuously guides the diagnostic reagent till the strips get out of the shafts, it is prevented that the cut strips are fit between the knives are twisted or deformed, thereby removing defect. Furthermore, adjusting screws are mounted at both ends of the first shaft supported to adjust an interval between the first and second shafts in a longitudinal direction, thereby more accurately adjusting the interval between the first and second shafts to enhance cutting effect of the strips.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a conveyance unit that conveys a sheet, a processing unit that performs processing on the sheet conveyed by the conveyance unit, and a controller that controls the conveyance unit and the processing unit. The processing unit includes a cutting unit capable of cutting the sheet along a cutting line, a holding unit that is configured to be movable between a holding position and a release position and that is disposed such that a holding line, which is formed on the sheet when the sheet is held, is substantially parallel to the cutting line, and an angle adjuster capable of adjusting an angle of the cutting unit and the holding unit with respect to a conveying direction.

A cutter module comprises an active rotary cutting blade driven by a blade drive, a passive cutting blade opposite the active rotary cutting blade, and a traction mechanism to pinch a medium to be cut in an area adjacent to the active rotary cutting blade and the passive cutting blade.

A printer comprises at least one longitudinal cutter module to cut a print medium in a longitudinal direction with respect to a print media advance direction. The printer comprises a controller to position the longitudinal cutter module along a direction perpendicular to the print media advance direction. The controller is to receive a full-bleed print job and in response to receive print job to position the at least one cutter module along the direction perpendicular to the print media advance direction. The longitudinal cutter module is positioned by the controller to longitudinally cut the print medium.

A cutter arrangement for media processing equipment, including a cutter module to be arranged on a shaft via a dedicated one of a number of transmission devices, at least one of the cutter module and the transmission devices comprising a registration feature to guide a user to arrange the cutter module on the dedicated one of the number of transmission devices.

A method includes placing a cutter module in an engaging position; moving a positioner associated with the cutter module away from a homing position to contact and drag the cutter module until it is detected that the cutter module hits a first obstacle; and aligning the cutter module with the positioner; wherein, in the engaging position, the cutter module is in the movement path of the positioner.

A self-propelled module for oversize loads includes two ground movement assemblies with oil-pressure controlled actuation; a transverse rocker arranged between the movement assemblies, which are coupled thereto independently; oil-pressure controlled suspension elements, arranged on corresponding oscillating supports coupled to the transverse rocker; and a load-bearing frame, supported by the oil-pressure controlled suspension elements. The load-bearing frame includes an oil-pressure controlled circuit adapted to serve the ground movement assemblies and the suspension means elements. The module further includes a rotary distribution unit, having a vertical axis, mounted on the load-bearing frame for supplying the ground movement assemblies and the oil-pressure controlled suspension elements, a first part of the rotary distribution unit being fixed to the load-bearing frame, and a second part being free to rotate about the vertical of the resting surface with respect to the load-bearing frame.

Disclosed are a round knife, a cutting assembly, and a method for cutting tire components wherein the round knife includes a carrier that is rotatable about a rotation axis (X) and a plurality of first edge segments which are arranged to be mounted side-by-side in a circumferential direction (G) about the rotation axis (X) to the carrier to form a circular cutting edge (E) extending concentrically about the rotation axis (X), wherein the segment body is arranged to be spaced apart from the carrier in the radial direction (R) at the center between the first lateral side and the second lateral side.
