A cutting machine includes a working surface, a carriage, a tool, and a drive mechanism. The carriage is disposed above the working surface. The tool is removably secured to the carriage and configured to move (i) toward the working surface along a first axis, (ii) relative to the working surface along a second axis transverse to the first axis, and (iii) relative to the working surface along a third axis transverse to the first axis and the second axis. The drive mechanism is offset from the first axis and configured to move the tool along the first axis.

A printing apparatus includes a cutter unit that includes a first blade that moves in a first direction from a standby position to a cutting position to cut a printing medium and a drive pin that moves integrally with the first blade, a drive cam which has a cylindrical shape and on a side surface of which a guide groove engaged with the drive pin is provided, and a driving motor that rotates the drive cam, in which, when the drive cam rotates, the guide groove guides, via the drive pin, the first blade in the first direction from the standby position to the cutting position.

An apparatus for cutting pipes made of plastic material in automatic cutter machines, including a tool for cutting pipes made of plastic material, a first rocker arm supporting the cutting tool, movable between a non-operating configuration at which the tool is disengaged from the pipe and an operating configuration wherein the tool is designed to exert its cutting action on the pipe, a second arm, for controlling the first arm, operatively connected to the first arm for moving it at least between its non-operating and operating configurations, the second arm comprising a first electric actuator and a supporting body slidably connected for modifying its reciprocal position between a close position and a spaced-apart position.

A cutting device controls a movement mechanism based on cutting data for cutting, along a cutting line, an object to be cut placed on a placement member. The cutting device acquires an attribute of the cutting line. The cutting device decides, based on the acquired attribute, a correction amount to correct the cutting line. The cutting device generates, based on the cutting data, corrected cutting data for cutting the object to be cut along the cutting line corrected by the decided correction amount. The cutting device controls the movement mechanism based on the generated corrected cutting data and cutting the object to be cut.

The invention relates to a winding apparatus for winding a material web traveling in a direction of travel, having at least one blade for cutting the material web in a web direction into a plurality of partial material webs, and having a folding apparatus for folding the edges of the partial material webs. To furnish a winding apparatus that enables a material web with folded edges to be wound with as little wrinkling as possible, a folding element is furnished for each edge of the partial material webs. The at least one blade may be moved transversely to the direction of travel using a first oscillating apparatus. Using a second oscillating apparatus, the folding elements for the left-hand edges of the partial material webs, as viewed in the direction of travel, may be moved transversely to the direction of travel. Using a third oscillating apparatus, the folding elements for the right-hand edges of the partial material webs, as viewed in the direction of travel, may be moved transversely to the direction of travel. The first oscillating apparatus, second oscillating apparatus and third oscillating apparatus may be controlled by a control unit in such a manner that the folded edges of the partial material webs may be wound at an offset to one another.

Tools for crimping or cutting of an object such as a wire, cable, or connector. The tool includes a first member and a second member configured to come together through a gap to crimp or cut a wire, cable or connector and a laser positioned to visually indicate a region where at least one member traverses as the first and second member come together through the gap. This visual indication aids in alignment of the object for the crimping or cutting operation.
