The present invention relates to an apparatus and a process for cutting a substrate wherein the apparatus comprises first and second cutting element and wherein the first and second cutting elements are rotatable about the axis of rotation at different circumferential speeds.

A cutting device includes a drum section that rotates to convey a continuous body, and a cutting section that cuts the continuous body into multiple individual works. The drum section includes multiple holding heads that move while holding the respective works. The cutting section includes a cutter unit that moves together with multiple holding heads and that is smaller in number than the holding heads, and a cutter drive unit that moves the cutter unit independently of multiple holding heads. The cutter unit moves alongside of the continuous body from a certain cutting start position to cut the continuous body. The cutter drive unit returns the cutter unit that has cut the continuous body, to the cutting start position.

A device includes a blade, which is movable within an associated working space for cutting product units, and a conveying device in which the product units can be individually conveyed into the working space of the blade. The conveying device includes at least one two-part conveying channel associated with the blade, in which on one side first conveyor elements and on the other side second conveyor elements are guided, which are assigned to one another in pairs and which have each a recess for partially receiving a separated product unit. The sides of the first and second conveyor elements, which are facing one another, delimit therebetween the free working space, so that the blade is guidable within the working space partially or completely through the product units held in the first and second conveyor elements which correspond to one another.

An apparatus (1) for cutting pipes (T) made of thermoplastic material, comprising: a tool (4) for cutting pipes (T), an arm (3) for supporting the tool (4) which is movable between a non-operating configuration (P1) wherein the tool (4) is disengaged from the pipe (T) and an operating configuration (P2) wherein the tool (4) is engaged in the pipe (T) to exert a cutting action on the pipe (T), a lever (6) which can be constrained to the arm (3), a supporting device (7) configured to move said lever (6), a locking unit (8) for reversibly constraining said arm (3) and said lever (6) and disengaging means (9) to move said arm (3) from the operating configuration (P2) to the non-operating configuration (P1).

Embodiments are directed to an automated cutting tool that is configured to cut open nonuniform enclosures, such as cases containing electronic components. An example system comprises a multi-speed motor that is coupled to a cradle. The multi-speed motor rotates the cradle at a selected speed, and the cradle adapted to hold a case. A cutting head is positioned adjacent to the cradle and is configured to maintain contact with the case during rotation of the multi-speed motor. The multi-speed motor is configured to operate at a first speed when first segments of the case are in contact with the cutting head and to operate at a second speed when second segments of the case are in contact with the cutting head.

A skiver for precise removal of outside material from an elongated device, such as a medical catheter or the like, includes a longitudinal recess in a surface and a transverse replaceable blade therein. A removable cover holds the blade in place. In some embodiments, the skiver has a handle extending from the skiver. In other embodiments, an automated mechanism is used to move the elongated device through the skiver.

Disclosed herein are a multi-cell tab cutting apparatus for a plurality of cells, which have a plurality of tabs formed at one side, and a method therefor. The multi-cell tab cutting apparatus includes a base frame, a cell tab fixer connected to the base frame and configured to fix and support the plurality of tabs, and a cutter positioned at the base frame and configured to cut the plurality of tabs through driving.

A method for forming pieces of food dough and an apparatus thereof is able to cut the food dough continuously extruded through a nozzle along the shape of the hole of the nozzle without causing deformation, and to locate pieces of the food dough on a conveyor without causing deformation. The apparatus for forming pieces of food dough comprises an extruding device and a cutting device, wherein the extruding device comprises a nozzle to continuously extrude food dough downward, and the cutting device comprises a cutting blade to cut the food dough into the pieces of food dough, a moving mechanism to move the cutting blade forward from an initial position, then to move the cutting blade downward, and then to return the cutting blade to the initial position, and a carrying-out conveyor, which is disposed below the nozzle and moves in the direction that the cutting blade moves forward.
