A block of a solid lubricant material, such as PTFE, is biased continuously or intermittently against the cutting edge of a rotary slitting blade for corrugated paperboard. The solid lubricant block prevents the build up of starch adhesive and biasing movement compensates for wear of the block and wear of the cutting blade edge.

The apparatus for processing flat objects includes a transport system with several rotatably mounted conveyor rollers, the flat objects transportable in the direction of transport, and at least one releasably mounted tool module releasably coupled to only one drive shaft or to a lower and an upper rotatably mounted drive shaft; is supported displaceable along the only one drive shaft or the lower and the upper drive shaft; and is equipped with tool parts for processing the flat objects, of which at least one is drivable by the lower or the upper drive shaft. The tool module is supported by a tool carrier which is displaceable by means of a rotatably mounted setting shaft in parallel to the only one drive shaft and to the lower and the upper drive shafts, and which tool carrier has at least one holding element which serves for releasably holding the tool module.

A cutting device that includes a placement member and a carriage. An object to be cut is placed on the placement member. The carriage is configured to move in a first direction and a second direction. The carriage includes a mounting portion, a movement mechanism, and a first spring. A holder that holds a cutting blade that cuts the object to be cut is mounted by the mounting portion. The movement mechanism is configured to move the mounting portion in a third direction and a fourth direction. The first spring is configured to apply a pressure to the mounting portion in the third direction, in accordance with a driving state of the movement mechanism. The holder includes a second spring configured to apply a pressure to the cutting blade in the third direction.

A pipe machining carriage, including a carriage configured to travel along an outer circumference of a pipe, and a chain coupled to both ends of the carriage wraps around the outer surface of the pipe. The carriage and the chain precisely move along the outer surface of the pipe. The disclosure may provide a carriage that performs machining with high accuracy by preventing the carriage from deviating from the original mounted position by moving the chain along with movement of the carriage. The disclosure may also provide a carriage mounted stably on the outer circumferential surface of the pipe to machine the pipe, regardless of pipe diameter, by adjusting a distance between the carriage drive wheels. The disclosure may prevent the carriage from slipping by mounting a front wheel and a rear wheel to the same drive shaft so the front and rear wheels rotate simultaneously in response to motor operation.

A machine and a method to carry out workings on a sheet of a sufficiently rigid material is suitable to make containers. The machine includes a transverse working head guided by a first transverse guide member, one or more longitudinal working heads, each selectively positionable in a desired transverse position, guided by at least a second transverse guide member parallel to the first transverse guide member; and positioning mechanism configured to cooperate with each longitudinal working head in order to selectively position it in the desired transverse position.

A shearing device (1) having a blade (2) with at least one blade cutting edge (5) which is helically coiled, and rotatable, about an axis of rotation (R) of the blade (2). The blade cutting edge (5) is assigned a counterpart blade cutting edge (4) of a counterpart blade (3). The shearing movements, by which for example bristle filaments (7) of brushes (8) for machining can be cut to length, are generated by relative rotational movement of the at least one helically coiled blade cutting edge (5) with respect to the preferably static counterpart blade cutting edge (4) of the counterpart blade (3). Since the blade (2) and the counterpart blade (3) can keep their spacing to one another constant during operation, there is a relatively low risk of injury during the use thereof.

A separator disposing portion 15 is provided with a ball screw 22 and an arm 23. The arm 23 is a member which comes into contact with a holder 17 and a separator disk 18, thereby allowing them to move. The arm 23 is provided with a chuck portion 30 which is connected to a piston 29 and can be fitted to a chuck pedestal 27. The chuck portion 30 comes close to or moves away from an expansion/contraction shaft 16 in association with expansion and contraction of the piston 29. Further, the chuck portion 30 comes into contact with an outer circumference surface of the holder 17, a side surface of the holder 17 and a side surface of the separator disk 18 in association with movements of the piston 29 and a driving portion 26.
