Dynamic regulation of contact pressures in a blade sharpening system is provided. An example multiphase grinding wheel has a grinding face with one or more abrasive concentric rings for sharpening the cutting blade of the log saw machine, and one or more padded concentric rings consisting of fiber padding. Sharpening with the multiphase grinding wheel improves cut quality, increases blade life, removes glues and varnishes from the cutting blade, reduces blade deformation, and hones the edge of the cutting blade. A pneumatic tensioning system uses air bladders to apply dynamic cushioning and processor-controlled contact pressure between the grinding wheels and the cutting blade during sharpening. The fiber-padded grinding wheels and the air bladder tensioner provide improved sharpness of the cutting blade and longer life for the mechanical components.

A cutting machine for the transversal cutting of paper material logs, including: a structure on which are moved the logs; a cutting unit including a blade; at least one sharpening unit with two grinding wheels; a positioning device for positioning the grinding wheels with respect to the blade. The positioning device includes: a primary carriage and two secondary carriages supported by the primary carriage; a sensor for detecting the radius of the blade and configured to stop the primary carriage when the grinding wheels are arranged with the respective axes at a given distance from the axis of the blade. In a second phase of positioning the grinding wheels, the secondary carriages are controlled so as to bring the abrasive side of the wheels into contact with the blade.

A log saw for cutting convolutely wound logs of web material is disclosed. The log saw includes a cutting blade operating in a cutting plane, a log saw clamp for the retention of a convolutely wound log of web material such that the convolutely wound log of web material extends in a log advancing path through to the cutting plane, and controls connected to the clamping device.

A paper roll cutting device comprises a rotating motorized arm (20), provided with a rotation axis (21) fixed in the space, and at least one cutting blade (30) to cut at least a paper stick (100) obtaining said paper rolls connected to the rotating motorized arm (20), wherein the rotation axis (31) of the cutting blade (30) is cyclically movable during the rotation of the motorized arm (20), the distance between the rotation axis (21) of the rotating arm (20) and the rotation axis (31) of the cutting blade (30) being progressively cyclically variable during the rotation of the motorized arm (20) with a minimum distance at the lower point of the rotation trajectory of the cutting blade (30).

The device comprises a log advancing path and a set of jaws in the form of double four-bar linkage, with an adjusting mechanism to adjust the position of the jaws according to the diameter of the logs to be cut.

Disclosed is a method of cutting off self-adhesive linerless endless tape labels, using a cutter of a label printer, wherein the cutter comprises a transport roller, which is rotatable about an axis of rotation, and a blade unit that is linearly travelable in parallel with the axis of rotation of the transport roller and that has a cutting blade directed in the direction toward the transport roller, where tape labels pass between the transport roller and the blade unit, and are transported further step-wise in a motorized manner, by one label, and, between two consecutive further transport steps, the blade unit is linearly traveled in a motorized manner between a start position and a target position in order to cut off a label, such that the label is completely cut off and is held at the transport roller by the blade unit in the target position of the blade unit.

The present invention relates to a tubular clamp module and a system thereof, and in particular, to a tubular clamp module and a system thereof applicable to a roll material cutting machine. In the tubular clamp module of the present invention, a slope is disposed at a top end of a support, and support rods slide on the slope to support tubular plates to form an appropriate radian, so as to provide a desirable tubular clamping force in combination with the force applied by a pressing belt. In the tubular clamp system of the present invention, a plurality of tubular clamp modules is used and various driving wheels and driving belts are disposed to enable synchronous adjustment of the positions of the support rods and the length of the pressing belt, so as to rapidly complete clamping of rolls having different diameters and provide a desirable tubular clamping force.

The machine includes a feeding path for the logs to be cut and a cutting head arranged along the feeding path. The cutting head includes a coupling for a disc-shaped cutting blade and is designed to impart the disc-shaped cutting blade a rotary motion around the axis thereof and a cyclic movement to cut the logs into single rolls, and to allow the logs to move forward along the feeding path. The machine also includes at least a grinding unit, including at least one grinding wheel mounted onto a rotation shaft and co-acting with a side of the disc-shaped cutting blade to grind the cutting edge of the same disc-shaped cutting blade. A controlled approach system is also provided to move the grinding wheel towards the disc-shaped cutting blade.

The invention concerns a cutting device (1) for reducing the width of a ready-made roller blind blank (28) comprising a roller tube onto which a fabric has been wound. The cutting device (1) comprises a mandrel (13), which is adapted to be inserted into and hold an end to be cut of the roller tube, and a knife arrangement, which is adapted to circumferentially cut first the fabric wound on the roller tube and then the roller tube on the mandrel (13) such that the width of the ready-made roller blind blank (28) is reduced. The invention also concerns a ready-made roller blind blank (28), which comprises a roller tube, onto which a fabric has been wound and which is adapted to be cut by means of a cutting device (1) according to the invention. For this the roller blind blank (28) comprises a disposable wrapping, which bears a visible measurement scale along at least one end portion of the roller blind blank (28).
