The present invention is configured such that an adjustment nut for fixing spacers and blades repeatedly fitted to a shaft is provided with at least two concentricity adjustment screws, and, with the spacers and the blades fixed by the adjustment nut, the spacers and the blades are pushed by the concentricity adjustment screws in the direction of the shaft to enable concentricity adjustment, and thus, without causing defects, the blades are protected and can be used for a long time. In particular, according to the present invention, while one side shaft with respect to a diagnostic sheet is elastically supported, position adjustment in the longitudinal direction thereof is possible, and also projections are formed on the peripheries of the surfaces of the spacers facing the cutting edges of the blades thus to provide extra spaces for the blades in which the blades move, thereby preventing the deformation of cut strips and the damages on the blades.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an automatic cutting device for printed supports which allows to compensate for the space created between the sliding planes, so as to always sustain the support to be cut and allow it to pass from one sliding plane to another and reach the relative unloading rollers avoiding jam at the device outlet. This result is achieved by means of an array of fins supported at the second sliding plane, configured to move from a closed configuration, in which all the fins protrude from the second sliding plane towards the first sliding plane and occupy the transverse cutting zone, to an open configuration in which they leave the transverse cutting area free so as to allow undisturbed movement of the cutting unit. This array of fins in closed configuration sustains the printed support cut in the passage from the first sliding plane to the second sliding plane.

An arrangement for automatically removing a strip of dark meat from a fish fillet has a conveying unit for transporting the fish fillet from an inlet to an outlet area in a transport direction along a transport path. Starting from the inlet area, successively along the transport path, are provided: a detector for detecting dark meat; a first cutting apparatus for removing a middle partial strip of dark meat; an opener for opening up the fillet such that the cut surfaces of a ventral-side partial and of a dorsal-side partial strip of dark meat point upwards; a cutting unit for removing the partial strips, the cutting unit comprising second and third cutting apparatuses for removing the ventral and dorsal-side partial strips. A control device is connected to the detector and the cutting apparatus, and all cuts are based on information from the detector.

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 sheet processing system conveys a material sheet in a first direction; calculates an inclination angle of the first registration mark of the material sheet with respect to the first direction; and includes cutting blades configured to cut the material sheet to produce sheet pieces and a cutting direction adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a cutting direction to a direction of the inclination angle. The sheet processing system conveys the sheet piece in a second direction; and includes a guide member configured to extend in the second direction and to guide a cutting end of the sheet piece, a processing place position identification section configured to identify a position on a conveyance path of a processing place of the sheet piece based on the inclination angle, and processing mechanisms configured to perform processing on the processing place whose the position on a conveyance path is identified.

The invention relates to a packaging machine comprising an apparatus for cutting food packagings to size along a longitudinal direction, wherein the apparatus defines an inner space and an outer region, said apparatus having a first shaft, which extends in the inner space and on which at least a first cutting blade is arranged, and a second shaft which extends in the inner space and on which at least a second cutting blade is arranged, said second cutting blade forming a cutting unit arranged in the inner space together with the first cutting blade during operation, wherein the first cutting blade is axially displaceably supported on the respective shaft to change an axial spacing and an axial contact pressure between the first cutting blade and the second cutting blade of the cutting unit, and said apparatus having an adjustment mechanism, wherein the adjustment mechanism is coupled to the axially displaceable first cutting blade to displace the displaceable cutting blade in an axial direction. The invention furthermore relates to a method of setting a contact force between a first cutting blade and a second cutting blade of a cutting unit of a packaging machine.
