In an example, a cutting module may include a housing to engage the cutting module with a drive shaft, a cutter disposed in the housing, and a drive system to drive the cutter such that the cutter cuts media along a media path of an imaging device. The cutting module may move along the drive shaft laterally to the media path.

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.

Systems and methods utilizing stationary and/or moveable cutting components provide limited interference with web processing operations, such as pad spin and pitch alteration. Heat, laser, fluid, or mechanical cutting operations may be used, including respectively, a heated element (e.g., wire, ribbon, bar, or embossing or perforating element) that may be triggered inductively, water or steam jets, or improved knife/anvil cooperation.

The invention relates to a knife holder (1) for cutting machines, with a knife carrier (2) rotatably mounted around an axis of rotation for holding a knife and a setting device (3) for the knife carrier (2), wherein the knife carrier (2) can be driven by the setting device (3) parallel to the axis of rotation (4) between a standby position and a cutting position, and wherein the knife holder (1) comprises a fixing device (5) that can be activated independently of the setting device (3), with which the knife carrier (2) can be fixed in the cutting position in the direction of the axis of rotation (3).

A device for cutting partial strips having a defined specifiable mass, preferably from a dough strip, including at least one cutting unit, which has a blade. The cutting unit is adjustably fastened to a retaining element of the device in such a way that the blades cut a dough strip, which is conveyed past the device and is moved in the longitudinal direction of the dough strip, into at least two partial pieces predominantly parallel to the direction of motion of the dough strip. The cutting unit includes an adjustment mechanism, wherein the adjustment mechanism is designed in such a way that the position of the blade can be adjusted with respect to the position of the cutting unit, in particular over the width of the dough strip, by automated control.

A slitter comprising: an upper rotary blade; a lower rotary blade; an upper housing for holding the upper rotary blade; and a lower housing for holding the lower rotary blade, the slitter being constructed such that the both rotary blades revolve in a manner that a tip on a cutting surface side of the upper rotary blade and a tip on a cutting surface side of the lower rotary blade are rubbed together so that a sheet passing through between the both rotary blades is cut, wherein the upper rotary blade is cantilevered on the cutting surface side by a cantilevered supporting part and the lower rotary blade is cantilevered on a non-cutting surface side by a cantilevered supporting part.

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 destemming device includes a housing, a motor, and a belt system configured to fit within the housing. The housing includes at least one cutting aperture. The cutting aperture is formed from a plurality of cutting fingers that have a cutting edge. When a plant stem is pressed or fed into the device, the cutting fingers create a cutting aperture that is sized to conform closely to the plant stem.

A cutting device includes a cutter configured to cut a web including at least accumulated fibers and a ball screw mechanism configured to move the cutter in a transportation direction of the web, and the cutter, when the web is being transported, cuts the web in a direction intersecting the transportation direction while being moved in the transportation direction of the web by the ball screw mechanism.
