A computerized mat cutter machine system includes a mat table having a cutter surface, at least one clamp moveable between a clamped position to secure a matboard to the mat table and a non-clamped position, a cutter head for performing at least one of cutting and finishing a design in the matboard, and a clamp controller bus for communicatively coupling a board controller to a clamp controller of the at least one clamp. The clamp controller bus includes a first bus configured as a dual ended serial differential bus that allows signals to flow from the board controller to the clamp controller, and a second bus configured as an analog bus that allows signals to flow from the clamp controller to the board controller.

A rotating blade slicer is provided. The slicer includes a housing, a carriage assembly that is slidably movable along the housing with respect to the knife. A gauge plate is provided to set cutting depth. The carriage assembly movably supports a weighted plate that is slidably mounted upon the carriage assembly and is configured to be disposed upon an upper surface of a food product intended to be sliced by the knife. The weighted plate supported by an arm that is slidably mounted to the carriage assembly, wherein the weighted plate is removably attached to the arm such that the weighted plate can be removed from and connected to the arm without any external tools.

Device for locking two adjacent sections (1, 2) of a roll of paper (3) placed on the sides of a cutting section plane (4) defined by the movement of a cutting blade (5) of a cutting-off machine (M), comprising a pair of clamping devices (6, 7) configured to be able to assume an unlocking configuration with a locking configuration of respective sections (1, 2) of the roll (3); at least a first actuator (8) which can be operated on command to pass said clamping devices from the unlocking configuration to the locking configuration of the respective sections (1, 2), and vice versa; at least a second actuator (10) connected to the clamping devices (6, 7) and configured to perform a movement of reciprocal distancing of the clamping devices in a locking configuration with respect to said cutting section plane (4); means of inhibition (11) of the reciprocal moving away of the clamping devices active during the cutting advancement of the blade (5) through the roll (3); and activation means (12) of the second actuator (10) of the clamping devices (6, 7) configured to activate the reciprocal removal of the clamping devices immediately after the end of the roll cutting phase (3) performed by the blade (5).

The present invention relates to an electrode sheet cutting apparatus including an upper cutter and a lower cutter configured to apply force to opposite surfaces of an electrode sheet while moving at the same speed, wherein the electrode sheet is cut from one side to the other side, whereby deformation of the electrode sheet is prevented and generation of foreign matter is reduced, and an electrode sheet cutting method using the same.

A system for cutting medical tubing sourced from a spool of tubing uses two actuator groups that each reciprocate along a respective track, which are parallel to each other. Each actuator group has a clamp and a cutting tool which have an operative position along a common axis. The tubing is fed along the common axis to be operated on by the actuator groups. A forward actuator group clamps onto the tubing and is then moved along its track, pulling the tubing. A rearward actuator group then clamps onto the tubing and cuts the tubing. While still clamped onto the tubing, the rearward actuator group is moved forward, pulling more tubing, and the actuator group that was forward is moved to the rearward position and the process is repeated iteratively to produce tubing sections cut to the desired length. The tubing is pressurized and kept under pressure to straighten the tubing.
