The apparatus is comprised of an electrolyte bath assembly and a splitting assembly comprised of at least one blade. The preferred embodiment of the blades being Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The splitting assembly being positioned within the electrolyte bath or adjacent to the exit of the electrolyte bath.

A post-processing apparatus that performs post-processing on paper in which an image is formed, the apparatus including: a paper cutter that cuts the paper in which the image is formed; a reader that reads the paper cut by the paper cutter; and a hardware processor that determines whether a cutting position of the paper cut by the paper cutter is good or not based on a read result read by the reader, wherein the hardware processor determines whether the cutting position of the paper in which partial cutting is performed is good or not, the partial cutting being cutting a portion of the paper by the paper cutter.

A tape roll dispenser has a backplate, a spindle, a cutting surface, a tab, and a writing device holder. The spindle is an arcuate channel with a bottom trough that extends outwardly from the upper section of the backplate and a sidewall that is parallel to the backplate's plane. The cutting surface extends outwardly from the bottom section of the backplate, and the tab extends upwardly from a center section of the cutting surface between serrated edges at opposite sides. The writing device holder has a pair of posts connected to and extending outwardly from the external surface of the sidewall with a rod connected between the posts and alternative writing device holders can be attached to different locations on the spindle or to the backplate, the cutting surface, or the tab. The serrated edges have a longer tooth positioned between two sets of teeth.

A process and an apparatus for cutting a continuous rubber-covered belt in a process for building tyres for vehicle wheels, wherein the apparatus includes a cutting group, in turn comprising: a knife formed by a first half-part and a second half-part and movable along a cutting direction that is tilted with respect to a supply direction of a rubber-covered belt placed beneath the knife. The process includes: lifting a lifting element placed below the continuous rubber-covered belt and at the cutting zone, until a portion of rubber-covered belt is lifted, and lowering the single first-half part of the knife, making it slide with respect to the second half-part.

The invention relates to a method for successively winding a film web onto a plurality of spools, wherein the film web is wound to form a first spool, and a tube and/or winding shaft for forming a subsequent second spool and the film web are moved closer to one another and/or are brought into contact with one another upstream of the first spool. The film web is cut, and thus an end of the film web is produced, with end is wound onto the first spool, and a new start of the file web is produced, which is wound onto the second tube. In order to cut the film web, the film web is cut partially in the transverse direction, at least one cut edge and at least one uncut region remaining in the transverse direction, the uncut region being subsequently torn off or cut off.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of gummed tape dispensers, and more particularly relates to an electric water activated gummed paper tape dispenser. The dispenser includes a box body, wherein a paper feeding bin, a paper pushing mechanism, a dispensing mechanism, and a paper wetting mechanism are independently arranged according to functions in sequence in the box body, so that the overall structure is simpler, which is conducive to subsequent maintenance. In addition, one side of the box body is fixedly connected with an outer hood, a control system is arranged in the outer hood, and the control system is a PLC all-in-one machine. A paper pushing motor of the paper pushing mechanism and a dispensing motor of the dispensing mechanism are both full-digital subdivision stepper driven motors and are controlled by the control system, which is used as a core electronic control part of the device. During working, the control system controls operation of the paper pushing motor of the paper pushing mechanism so as to accurately control a pushing length of a gummed tape, and controls the operation of the dispensing motor of the dispensing mechanism so as to accurately control the dispensing amount of the gummed tape, thereby effectively ensuring the quality of the dispensed gummed tape and then improving the dispensing quality and efficiency.

A post-processing apparatus that performs post-processing on paper in which an image is formed, the apparatus including: a paper cutter that cuts the paper in which the image is formed; a reader that reads the paper cut by the paper cutter; and a hardware processor that determines whether a cutting position of the paper cut by the paper cutter is good or not based on a read result read by the reader, wherein the hardware processor determines whether the cutting position of the paper in which partial cutting is performed is good or not, the partial cutting being cutting a portion of the paper by the paper cutter.

The present disclosure is directed to a process and an apparatus for cutting a continuous rubber-covered belt in a process for building tyres for vehicle wheels, wherein the apparatus comprises a cutting group, in turn comprising: a knife formed by a first half-part and a second half-part and movable along a cutting direction that is tilted with respect to a supply direction of a rubber-covered belt placed beneath the knife. The process comprises: lifting a lifting element placed below the continuous rubber-covered belt and at the cutting zone, until a portion of rubber-covered belt is lifted, and lowering the single first-half part of the knife, making it slide with respect to the second half-part.

A feeding unit to feed components in an automatic manufacturing machine; the feeding unit has: a plurality of sucking holding heads, which are each designed to receive and hold a corresponding component; a closed curved guide, which is arranged in a fixed position along the application path; a plurality of equipment, each supporting a corresponding holding head and provided with at least one slide, which is coupled to the guide so as to freely slide along the guide by a plurality of wheels; a suction chamber, which is mounted so as to rotate around a rotation axis; and a flexible connection system, which pneumatically connects the suction chamber to each holding head.
