A hole punching machine for use on wet or damp drywall improves ventilation behind the drywall for drying purposes. The machine includes a base position on the floor and against the wall. A pneumatic ram in the base can be extended and retracted to cut a hole in drywall, after any baseboard is removed. The hole can then be covered when the baseboard is reinstalled. The operator can activate the ram using a switch, while standing.

The present invention relates to a cutting equipment having a cutting device with a cutting element and a drive device for the cutting element. The drive device includes a pneumatically driven piston/cylinder arrangement and a switch valve having a high-pressure input port, a high-pressure output port and a low-pressure output port, with the high-pressure input port coupled to a high-pressure source, the high-pressure output port coupled to a first cylinder chamber and the low-pressure output port coupled to a second cylinder chamber. The switch valve connects the high-pressure input port to the high-pressure output port upon application of a pressurized fluid, and connects the high-pressure output port to the low-pressure output port upon reduction of the pressure level of the pressurized fluid. The present invention further relates to a clipping machine for producing sausage-shaped products, including said cutting equipment, and a method for controlling the cutting equipment.

A carton sizing system that has a frame, a controller, one or more cutters movably mounted to the frame and operatively connected to the controller, one or more markers movably mounted to the frame and operatively connected to the controller. The carton sizing system also has a measuring means that is operatively connected to the controller and configured to determine, in use, the footprint of an open top carton and to determine the height of one or more objects contained within the carton. The controller is configured to position the one or more cutters based on the determined footprint and to cut vertical edges of the carton based on the determined height and also to position the one or more markers based on the determined footprint and height and to score or crease vertical walls of the carton between the vertical edges to at least partially define foldable panels.

Embodiments of the invention provide a cutting tool. The cutting tool includes a pin that defines an axis, a first jaw, a second jaw, a first blade, and a second blade. The first and second jaws are configured to rotate about the axis. The first jaw includes a first ear surface that has a first ear bore that is dimensioned to receive the pin. The second jaw includes a second ear surface rotationally engaged with the first ear surface and includes a second ear bore that is dimensioned to receive the pin. The blades can include a tapered face and a non-tapered face. The first and second ear surfaces can be coplanar with the respective non-tapered face.

Disclosed is a pouch cutting apparatus for secondary batteries, which cuts remaining portions of a terrace of a pouch-type secondary battery except for folded portions, the pouch cutting apparatus including a frame, a lower cutting unit fixed to a lower side of a front surface of the frame and configured to support a lower portion of the terrace in a longitudinal direction of the terrace so that the remaining portion extends to the outside of a rear surface thereof in a state in which the pouch-type secondary battery to be cut is fixed, and an upper cutting unit disposed at an upper side of the front surface of the frame so as to be movable upward or downward and configured to cut the remaining portion extending to the outside of the rear surface of the lower cutting unit.

On-axis actuator system includes an actuator bracket formed with at least one bracket cavity. Actuator links couple open and close rollers. An actuator member coupled to close roller and disposed within an actuator housing. Moving the actuator member towards the actuator bracket presses the close roller against the bracket to rotate the bracket. A device coupled to the bracket rotates with the bracket.

A machine used to convey and cut thin walled wax extrusions. The machine is adjustable and capable of short rapid cuts while maintaining square and consistent finish on the surface of the wax as the knife passes through. The machine may be particularly useful for any wax extrusion requiring a smooth and square cut while remaining capable of running multiple strands in one process to increase production capabilities of a single machine.
