Abstract: A method and device for setting the height of a knife blade in a cylinder of a rotary cutter is provided. The cylinder includes an aperture that is sized and shaped to receive a wedge block therein and seated adjacent a footing surface within the aperture. At least one or both of the footing surface or bottom surface of the wedge block are angled such that side-to-side movement of the wedge block within the aperture will cause a knife blade seated on a top surface of the wedge block to move vertically with respect to the outer surface of the cylinder. As such, side-to-side movement of the wedge block provides for a precise and reliable means for adjusting and setting the height of the knife blade.

Abstract: A rotary cutter system for cutting a web of material being feed into the rotary cutter at a press speed that includes a cutting cylinder, an anvil cylinder and a servo motor. The rotary cutter includes a controller that controls the speed of rotations of the cylinders. Control of the speed of cutting and anvil cylinders allows for the adjustment of the cut length of the material without having to adjust the position of knives in the cutting cylinder.

Abstract: A bundling system can convert a shingled stream of goods into successive bundles of goods. The system has a conveyor assembly with an upstream and a downstream section for (a) longitudinally passing the shingled stream of goods from the upstream to the downstream section, and (b) repeatedly interrupting passage of goods for creating a gap in the shingled stream of goods. The system also includes a reciprocatable table located downstream of the conveyor assembly for detaining and collecting goods there into a stacked bundle. Also included is a pusher for extending and pushing the stacked bundle off the table. The reciprocatable table is arranged to rise past the pusher without interference when the pusher is extended.
