A manual automatic device configured for fitting cable ties around a bundle of cables or the like. The device includes a control interface allowing the user of the device to choose an operating mode that tightens but does not cut the cable tie and in which the electric motor which drives the cable tie in tension is controlled in reverse rotation to eject the cable tie before cutting. A method for controlling the device is also presented herein.

Container including base portion defining compartment. Base portion includes bottom panel defining bottom of compartment, front base panel defining front of compartment and extending upwardly from bottom panel to top edge defining recessed area. Base portion further includes back panel extending from bottom panel to define a back of compartment, and first and second side tabs extending between bottom panel, front base panel, and back panel at opposing sides thereof to define opposing sides of compartment. Container further includes lid portion moveable between open position for access to compartment and closed position. Lid portion includes top panel defining top of lid portion, top panel hingedly-coupled to back panel, and front lid panel extending from the top panel. Front lid panel covers recessed area in closed position, and in open position web material can be dispensed from compartment through recessed area.

The present invention relates to a cutting equipment having a cutting device with a cutting element and a drive device for the cutting element. The drive device includes a pneumatically driven piston/cylinder arrangement and a switch valve having a high-pressure input port, a high-pressure output port and a low-pressure output port, with the high-pressure input port coupled to a high-pressure source, the high-pressure output port coupled to a first cylinder chamber and the low-pressure output port coupled to a second cylinder chamber. The switch valve connects the high-pressure input port to the high-pressure output port upon application of a pressurized fluid, and connects the high-pressure output port to the low-pressure output port upon reduction of the pressure level of the pressurized fluid. The present invention further relates to a clipping machine for producing sausage-shaped products, including said cutting equipment, and a method for controlling the cutting equipment.

A printer includes a transport part that transports a sheet, a printing part that prints on the sheet, a cutting part that cuts the sheet by moving a movable blade toward a stationary blade, and a controller that controls the transport part and the cutting part. When the sheet is label paper having an adhesive layer, the controller controls the transport part and the cutting part to transport the sheet rearward before moving the movable blade that cut the sheet, move the movable blade in a direction away from the stationary blade in a state where the sheet is fed in rearward, and thereafter transport the sheet frontward.

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.

A cutter device including a transport unit for transporting a medium, a round blade configured to move, while rotating, in a width direction intersecting a transport direction in which the medium is transported, a fixed blade provided along the width direction, and a controller configured to control driving of the transport unit and a movement in the width direction of the round blade, in which the controller is configured, when the medium is cut by causing the round blade to move to a first direction of the width direction, to cause the round blade to move to a second direction being a direction opposite to the first direction while causing the round blade to rotate without causing the medium to move in the transport direction.

The present invention relates to an electrode cutting device including a cutting unit configured to cut an electrode sheet and a fixing unit configured to fix the electrode sheet, wherein the cutting unit includes a cutter configured to cut the electrode sheet by shearing and a cutter lifting portion configured to move the cutter so as to be perpendicular to a surface of the electrode sheet, and the fixing unit includes a gripper configured to press the electrode sheet so as to be fixed, a driving portion configured to drive the gripper so as to be moved, and a sensor configured to monitor the driving portion, whereby it is possible to rapidly and accurately check whether air leaks from the driving portion, which drives the gripper.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a secondary battery and an apparatus for manufacturing a secondary battery. The method for manufacturing the secondary battery according to the present invention comprises: an electrode supply process of supplying an electrode through an electrode supply part; a first inspection process of detecting the supplied electrode to distinguish a normal electrode portion and an abnormal electrode portion through the first inspection part; and a notching process of notching the electrode, which is subjected to the first inspection process, in the notching part, wherein the notching process perform the notching through a laser so that the normal electrode portion and the abnormal electrode portion, which are detected in the first inspection process, are divided from each other.

A tool including a tool surface and further including coding indicia linked, at least indirectly, with the surface of the tool, the coding indicia capable of being detected by a sensor, the coding indicia functioning as a pointer to information relating to said tool or its use.

A medium-cutting device includes a medium-conveyance section to convey a medium in a medium-conveyance direction, a cutter to cut the medium conveyed by the medium-conveyance section, and a pushing part to push up a piece of the medium that is cut from the medium with the cutter.
