A system for adjusting a cutting tool includes a cutting system that includes a cutting tool that includes a tip configured to cut material thermoformed to a dental model. The cutting system is configured to determine, based on a cut line generated for the cutting tool to cut a dental aligner from material thermoformed onto a dental mold, a target tool vector defined by an angle of a tip of the cutting tool with respect to a surface of the dental model at the cut line, compare the target tool vector to a constraint of the cutting tool, and adjust a position of the tip of the cutting tool with respect to the cut line to compensate for the target tool vector being outside the constraint of the cutting tool.

An electric cutting device includes a pair of cutting blades configured to clamp and cut an object, an electric motor configured to generate a driving force necessary for operating the cutting blades, a controller configured to control an operation of the electric motor, and a speed detector configured to detect a speed index, the speed index indicating an operation speed of the cutting blades. The controller is configured to brake the cutting blades based on the speed index.

An electric cutting device includes: a pair of cutting blades clamping and cutting an object; an electric motor generating a driving force for operating the cutting blades; a controller controlling the electric motor; and an operation device switched between an ON state and an OFF state by a user operation. After the operation device enters into the ON state and the pair of cutting blades start operating in a closing direction, the controller is configured to: open the pair of cutting blades when the cutting of the object is completed while the operation device is kept in the ON state; and stop closing the pair of cutting blades when the operation device changes from the ON state to the OFF state at a timing before the cutting of the object is completed.

Disclosed are an automatic shearing apparatus for a cold-rolled plate of variable thickness, and a shearing method using the apparatus. The method comprises that: a thickness gauge (4) and a length-measuring device (3) are successively arranged in front of shears (5); and a control device identifies the profile of a strip material passing through the thickness gauge (4) according to length tracing data and measured thickness values, and determines the position of the strip material at the shears (5), simultaneously compares the profile with the set profile of a plate of continuously variable thickness, and decides the action time of the shears. The apparatus and the method can efficiently and accurately shear rolls of supplied materials of continuously variable thickness into plates of continuously variable thickness which can be directly used by a user.

An auxiliary support device for a rolling-cut shear, including: a lower cutting table; a plurality of first hydraulic support cylinders, a plurality of support plates, a plurality of second hydraulic support cylinders shorter than the first hydraulic support cylinders, a slide plate, and a plurality of horizontal hydraulic cylinders. The lower cutting table includes a first front end including a first mounting groove, and a second mounting groove, and an inner plate. The bottom wall of the second mounting groove includes a plurality of first bolt holes and a plurality of first recesses. The inner plate is embedded in the second mounting groove through a plurality of bolts passing through the plurality of first bolt holes. The inner plate includes a plurality of second bolt holes and a plurality of second recesses. The plurality of support plates lean against the inner plate.

A blade clearance adjustment mechanism for a scroll shear tool is configured to adjust a horizontal blade clearance between a fixed blade and a moving blade. The blade clearance adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment bushing supported within a bushing pathway. The adjustment bushing supports a reciprocatory spindle, and a relative position of the adjustment bushing within the bushing pathway affects a relative position of the moving blade with respect to the fixed blade. The blade clearance adjustment mechanism further includes an adjustment member coupled to the adjustment bushing. The adjustment member is configured to change the relative position of the adjustment bushing between a first position associated with a first blade clearance and a second position associated with a second blade clearance.
