The present invention is configured such that an adjustment nut for fixing spacers and blades repeatedly fitted to a shaft is provided with at least two concentricity adjustment screws, and, with the spacers and the blades fixed by the adjustment nut, the spacers and the blades are pushed by the concentricity adjustment screws in the direction of the shaft to enable concentricity adjustment, and thus, without causing defects, the blades are protected and can be used for a long time. In particular, according to the present invention, while one side shaft with respect to a diagnostic sheet is elastically supported, position adjustment in the longitudinal direction thereof is possible, and also projections are formed on the peripheries of the surfaces of the spacers facing the cutting edges of the blades thus to provide extra spaces for the blades in which the blades move, thereby preventing the deformation of cut strips and the damages on the blades.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an automatic cutting device for printed supports which allows to compensate for the space created between the sliding planes, so as to always sustain the support to be cut and allow it to pass from one sliding plane to another and reach the relative unloading rollers avoiding jam at the device outlet. This result is achieved by means of an array of fins supported at the second sliding plane, configured to move from a closed configuration, in which all the fins protrude from the second sliding plane towards the first sliding plane and occupy the transverse cutting zone, to an open configuration in which they leave the transverse cutting area free so as to allow undisturbed movement of the cutting unit. This array of fins in closed configuration sustains the printed support cut in the passage from the first sliding plane to the second sliding plane.

Disclosed is a cutter module to be used with a printing apparatus. The cutter module comprises a blade driving mechanism; and a rotary cutting blade driven by the blade driving mechanism. The blade driving mechanism comprises: a clutch mechanism selectively to enable the blade driving mechanism to drive the rotary cutting blade in a forward cutting direction or a backward direction. Also disclosed is a printing system comprising the cutter module and a method to be used with the cutter module.

A trimming apparatus includes a trimmer head assembly and trimmer head frame portion. The trimmer head assembly including a first wheel, a second wheel, a drive motor coupled to the first wheel, the trimmer head assembly first and second wheels in frictional contact with each other and their rotation axis defining a non-zero camber angle. A trimming apparatus may include a plurality of trimmer head assemblies arranged in a grid, and include movable grid flap assemblies. A trimming apparatus may include a plurality of trimmer head assemblies formed and distributed as a drum module, or a plurality of drum modules. A trimming apparatus may include a single trimmer head assembly with a handle for manual operation.

A cutter arrangement for media processing equipment, including a cutter module to be arranged on a shaft via a dedicated one of a number of transmission devices, at least one of the cutter module and the transmission devices comprising a registration feature to guide a user to arrange the cutter module on the dedicated one of the number of transmission devices.

A converting machine is used to convert sheet material into packaging templates for assembly into boxes or other packaging. The converting machine includes a converting assembly that performs a transverse conversion function, a longitudinal conversion function, and an angled conversion function on the sheet material to create the packaging templates. The converting machine includes a tool head with a converting instrument. The orientation of the converting instrument is adjustable to enable performance of the angled conversion function and at least one of the longitudinal conversion function and the transverse conversion function.

A circular cutting unit for partially cutting one or more layers of a cable or wire along a cutting plane. The circular cutting unit include a knife head including a drive disc and an adjustment disc that are each rotatable about a disc axis. A pair of knife holders that each include a knife blade are pivotally mounted to the drive disc. Relative rotation of the adjustment disc relative to the drive disc causes the knife holders to pivot causing movement of the knife blades toward or away from each other. The circular cutting unit includes a primary drive assembly and an adjustment drive assembly that are each separately operable. The primary drive assembly rotates the knife head at the cutting speed and the adjustment drive assembly rotates the adjustment disc relative to the drive disc.

The subject matter of the present invention is a method and a device for producing an adhesive tape (1). First a material web (2) comprising a carrier tape material is supplied from an unwinding unit (3). The supplied material web (2) is subsequently provided on at least one surface with at least one adhesive strip (4) in a coating unit (6). The material web (2) provided with the adhesive strip (4) is then cut into at least two longitudinal strips with the aid of a cutting device (10) and made up into individual adhesive tapes (1). According to the invention, a sensor (8, 9) scanning the material web is used to align the material web (2) and/or the cutting device (10) in the transverse direction (Q) in such a way that a longitudinal cut (S) respectively produced with the aid of the cutting device (10) is introduced in an exact position into the material web (2).

The invention relates to a packaging machine comprising an apparatus for cutting food packagings to size along a longitudinal direction, wherein the apparatus defines an inner space and an outer region, said apparatus having a first shaft, which extends in the inner space and on which at least a first cutting blade is arranged, and a second shaft which extends in the inner space and on which at least a second cutting blade is arranged, said second cutting blade forming a cutting unit arranged in the inner space together with the first cutting blade during operation, wherein the first cutting blade is axially displaceably supported on the respective shaft to change an axial spacing and an axial contact pressure between the first cutting blade and the second cutting blade of the cutting unit, and said apparatus having an adjustment mechanism, wherein the adjustment mechanism is coupled to the axially displaceable first cutting blade to displace the displaceable cutting blade in an axial direction. The invention furthermore relates to a method of setting a contact force between a first cutting blade and a second cutting blade of a cutting unit of a packaging machine.

A movable die cutter device of the invention cutting patterns on a continuous sheet comprises a set of die cutter cutting the continuous sheet, a movable platform, a skid rail device, at least one sensing device and a control device. The set of movable units is fixed between the base and the upper plate to control a movement of the upper plate. The movable platform comprises a base, a set of movable units, and un upper plate. The skid rail device comprises a sliding block unit fixing the set of die cutter and the upper plate of the movable platform. The skid rail unit is disposed on the base of the movable platform and the sliding block unit sliding thereon. The control device controls the set of movable units of the of movable platform. When the sensing device senses an offsets between the patterns and the set of die cutter, the control device controls the set of movable units of the movable platform to move so that the shift offset can be compensated.
