A workpiece processing device includes a workpiece supporting unit configured to support a workpiece so that the workpiece is rotatable around a first axis parallel to a central axis of the workpiece, a cutting unit having a blade configured to cut a surface of the workpiece, a detecting unit configured to calculate a position of a vertex of the surface in a direction along a second axis which is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the blade, and a control unit configured to control the workpiece supporting unit so that a cutting position on the surface is located at a vertex in the direction along the second axis, and relatively move the workpiece supporting unit and the cutting unit so that an incision direction of the blade is on a plane defined by the central axis and the cutting position, thereby forming a groove at the cutting position.

A processing apparatus includes a chuck table, a first and second image capturing units, a display device, and a controller. The first image capturing unit obtains a first image group of images captured of a processed groove in the workpiece at different positions along a thicknesswise direction, each including a piece of first image information representing a shape of the processed groove. The second image capturing unit obtains a second image group of images captured of the processed groove at different positions along the thicknesswise direction of the workpiece, each including a piece of second image information representing a shape of the processed groove. The controller orders the pieces of at least either the first or the second image information into a sequence along the thicknesswise direction, thereby generating a three-dimensional image of the processed groove, and displays the three-dimensional image on the display device.

The present disclosure provides an optical component array and method of making an optical component array that can include a plurality of optical components useful for projection devices or other optical devices. The optical component array can be fabricated such that individual optical components having several elements can be assembled in a massively parallel manner and then singulated as individual optical components, and can result in a large reduction in manufacturing cost.

Floor panels (1, 1′) are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system that may be locked with a vertical displacement of a first panel against a second panel. The locking system includes a flexible strip (6) that during locking bends upwardly or downwardly. The locking system includes a first (7a) and a second (7b) joint edge section with different locking functions. One section provides a horizontal locking and another section provides a vertical locking.

A blade portion for a grooving tool includes opposite first and second surfaces, a blade width thereof being defined as a shortest distance between the first and second surfaces, opposite third and fourth surfaces, and a fifth surface and an opposite blade portion end. The blade width is constant or substantially constant from the fifth surface up to the blade portion end. An insert seat separating the third surface and the fifth surface is arranged to receive an insert having a main cutting edge, an associated rake face, and an associated main clearance surface. The main cutting edge defines an insert width being greater than the blade width. A shortest distance from the fifth surface to the opposite blade portion end is greater than a shortest distance from the third surface to the fourth surface.

A packaging material having a core layer and inside and outside laminate portions is provided. The packaging material comprises a first area to form a first package, and a second area to form a second and adjacent package. The first area and the second area have a transversal sealing area between them, and the core layer is provided with at least one weakening portion at the transversal sealing area.
