A slotter head, a slotter apparatus, and a box making machine form a joining piece with a high degree of accuracy by each being provided with: a cutter rest; a movable block mounted in an outer peripheral portion of the cutter rest; a first cutting blade that is fixed to the movable block along a shaft direction and along a direction inclined in a circumferential direction by a predetermined angle; a first support shaft that supports, on the cutter rest, the movable block rotatably around a first shaft center along the shaft direction; and a second support shaft that supports, on the cutter rest, the movable block rotatably around a second shaft center along the circumferential direction.

Provided are a slotter head, a slotter device and a box making machine comprising a cutter holder which is in a disk shape and is rotationally supported, a first cutting blade which is mounted to an outer peripheral portion of the cutter holder, a moving holder which is supported by the cutter holder movably along the circumferential direction, a second cutting blade which is mounted to an outer peripheral portion of the moving holder, a first drive device which rotationally drives the cutter holder, and a second drive device which rotationally drives the moving holder.

A slotter apparatus includes a slotter knife rotatable in a same direction as a conveyance direction of a sheet that is conveyed on a conveyance path, the slotter knife having a cutting edge, for forming a notch groove in the sheet, on an outer periphery of the slotter knife. A protruding part protrudes outward from the cutting edge at one end of the slotter knife, the protruding part cutting an end part of the notch groove by piercing the sheet. A drive device that drives the slotter knife so as to rotate. A control device that, at least when the protruding part passes through from the upper surface of the sheet, controls the relative relationship between the circumferential velocity of the slotter knife and the conveyance velocity of the sheet so that the protruding part does not interfere with the end part.

A circle cutting system with a blade coupled to a body that rotates and is pressed into sheet material for the separation of circular portions from a larger sheet of the material, such as roofing material.

An absorbent article processing device includes a cutter roll and an anvil roll. The cutter roll includes a roll main body; a blade protruding in a radial direction in a first angular range of a part of a circumferential direction of the roll main body; a first bearer protruding in the radial direction in a second angular range of a part of the circumferential direction including at least the first angular range and being in contact with the anvil roll, and being cut out in an angular range excluding the second angular range at a first end portion in an axial direction of the roll main body; and a second bearer provided around the entire circumference or a part of the circumferential direction and being in contact with the anvil roll at the second end portion in an axial direction of the roll main body.

There is provided a method of manufacturing sachets. The method involves moving a web of semi-rigid material through a cutting station and simultaneously cutting a discrete cut in the web of semi-rigid material while the web of semi-rigid material continues to move through the cutting station. The method also includes sandwiching the web of semi-rigid material between a first flexible web of material and a second web of flexible material such that the first web of flexible material seals the discrete cuts in the semi-rigid web of material and the second web of flexible material forms a continuous elongate reservoir with the web of semi-rigid material. There is also provided an apparatus for cutting a web of material. The apparatus has a cutting roller and at least one cutting element protruding beyond the exterior surface of the roller, wherein the cutting element has a cutting profile that is at least partly a zigzag shape. Another apparatus for cutting a web of material the apparatus has a first cutting element and a second opposing cutting element, each cutting element having a cutting profile that is at least partly a zigzag shape. Each cutting element is associated with a cam and a rail that are arranged such that the first cutting element follows a path and the second cutting element follows a path that mirrors the path of the first cutting element. The paths have adjacent sections and/or intersecting sections in which the cutting elements come together to discretely cut the web of material while leaving the material intact.

A process and a splitter for splitting a tape of a uniaxially oriented material. The tape is passed in a process direction over a static splitting profile having a row of teeth, e.g., with a cutting edge extending in the process direction. The tape is split to form a material comprising a plurality of parallel strips interconnected by fibrils. The split material can for example be used for the production of high tensile ropes or laminates.

The cutting system is configured to cut a continuous strip which extends lengthwise in a longitudinal direction and widthwise between a first edge and a second edge into strips. The cutting system includes a drive device which imparts to the continuous strip a feed speed, a first cutting roller and a contrarotating second cutting roller that cooperate to cut the continuous strip across its full width. The first cutting roller is provided with a first helical blade and is driven in rotation A variable synchronizer makes it possible to select and to modify the synchronization ratio between the rotational speed of the first cutting roller and the non-zero forward speed of the continuous strip in such a way as to be able to adjust the cutting angle according to which the cross-section of the continuous strip is oriented with respect to the longitudinal direction of the continuous strip.

A machine for making corrugated paperboard boxes form corrugated paperboard sheets includes a slotter device with a blade that forms slots in the corrugated paperboard sheet. The machine can handle various sizes and configurations of corrugated paperboard sheets and can determine if the blade of the slotter device has a suitable length to form slots in each of the various corrugated paperboard sheets, using parameters including a circumferential length (N) of the slotter cylinder and dimensions (E, F, G) of the corrugated paperboard sheet.

A corrugated paperboard box making machine comprises: a slotter device comprising a rotatable cylindrical-shaped upper slotter, and a slotter blade detachably attached onto an outer periphery of the upper slotter, wherein the slotter device performs slotting on a corrugated paperboard sheet; and an upper-level management device and/or a lower-level management device configured to control the slotter device. The management device is configured to set a limit value of the length of the slotter blade for satisfying a given condition determined from the perimeter of the upper slotter, dimensions of a corrugated paperboard box to be produced by the corrugated paperboard box making machine, and a production mode to be set to operate the slotter device in conformity to the box to be produced, and determine whether or not the length of a given slotter blade to be attached to the slotter device exceeds the limit value.
