wherein a cutting cylinder rotating in the conveyance direction is provided, on which cutting cylinder a number of cutting disks 2 corresponding to the number of strips to be produced is mounted for the longitudinal cutting, wherein the cutting disks 2 are disposed coaxially to the rotational axis A and cut into the food band 4 with the edge thereof,

wherein a comb 5 having a plurality of comb tines 6 is provided, which comb tines, in an operating position, engage into the intermediate spaces 7 between the cutting disks 2 during the longitudinal cutting in order to hold down the cut strips on the conveyor belt,

wherein the comb 5 is held on a comb holder 8, which is held so as to be pivotable about the rotational axis A, wherein the comb holder 8 can be transferred from the operating position and a maintenance position by pivoting about the rotational axis A.

A cutting device and corresponding method for cutting a relatively rigid material), such as for example paper, cardboard, plastic material, composite or other. The cutting device includes a first cutting disc sharpened along its peripheral edge and rotating around its a first axis of rotation. A second cutting disc, also sharpened along its peripheral edge (and rotating around a first axis of rotation (X3), is disposed in front of the first cutting disc with respect to the material and is co-planar with the first cutting disc (14).

A slit device including a first transport section which transports a web in a transport direction while nipping the web, a second transport section which is disposed in parallel with a direction intersecting the transport direction of the first transport section and which transports the web in the transport direction while nipping the web, and a cutting section which is disposed between the first transport section and the second transport section in a direction intersecting the transport direction and which cuts the web along the transport direction, in which a cutting position at which the web is cut by the cutting section is a position within a nipping area where the first transport section nips the web along the transport direction, or is a position downstream of the nipping area in the transport direction.

The invention relates to a method for optimizing a shearing bench for shearing a film having a thickness less than or equal to 10 microns, the shearing bench comprising a plurality of elements, each element being characterized by a plurality of parameters, the collection of parameters forming the parameters of the shearing bench, the plurality of elements comprising at least one blade assembly comprising a blade and a counter-blade collaborating with the blade, a system for progressing the film, and a system for urging the blade and the counter-blade against one another in order to shear the film.

A sheet processing apparatus includes: at least one processing tool that takes a processable state and an unprocessable state; a setting unit that sets operation parameters on the processable state and the unprocessable state; and a control unit that controls an operation of the processing tool based on the set operation parameters, in which the setting unit sets the operation parameters such that: a processable state holding process in which the processing tool holds the processable state, is executed, when a certain portion-to-be-processed is formed in a certain pre-product and then a next portion-to-be-processed of the same type as the certain portion-to-be-processed is formed in a next pre-product; and/or a processing tool selection process in which the processing tool for forming the portion-to-be-processed is selected so that a moving distance of the processing tool is minimized, is executed.

The present invention relates to a method, a mounting kit, a positioning bar, a knife holder, and a slitting machine, by means of which a plurality of knife holders can be attached, at a determined spacing from one another, onto a traverse of the slitting machine. The method comprises in particular the following steps: Providing at least two knife holders, Providing at least one positioning bar, wherein the positioning bar has at least two form-fit configurations, Making a mounting unit, by the attaching the knife holders onto the positioning bar at the positions determined by the form-fit configurations, wherein adjacent form-fit configurations on the positioning bar determine the spacing between adjacent knife holders, Positioning the mounting unit on the traverse, Fixing the knife holders onto the traverse at the spacing from one another determined by the positioning bar.

A device for the longitudinal cutting of a wide food band of a soft food mass which is moved in a conveyance direction on a conveyor belt, wherein a cutting cylinder rotating in the conveyance direction is provided on which is mounted a number of cutting disks disposed coaxially to the rotational axis A for cutting into the food band with the edge thereof, wherein a comb having a plurality of comb tines is provided, which in an operating position engage into the intermediate spaces between the cutting disks during the longitudinal cutting in order to hold down the cut strips on the conveyor belt, wherein the comb is held on a comb holder so as to be pivotable about the rotational axis, wherein the comb holder can be transferred from the operating position and a maintenance position by pivoting about the rotational axis.

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.
