Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for making tethered container caps. In one embodiment, the system includes: a cap holding assembly (58) having an internal tool (62) configured to be disposed within the container cap and to support a skirt of the container cap; a blade stack (20) comprising a given set of stacked segments including a transversal blade (36) configured to cut a transversal cut (18) in the skirt of the container cap to provide, in use, a tether (8) connecting an upper skirt portion (12) of the container cap and a retaining ring (6); and a rotation assembly (60) configured to move the cap holding assembly (58) relative to the blade stack (20), such that the blade stack cuts the container cap to from the retaining ring (6) and tether (8).

Abstract: An inspection apparatus for testing of objects synchronizes a spark test wheel having probe fingers with a transportation unit on which spaced objects to be spark tested are placed. The probe fingers are arranged conically when the transportation unit is a turret.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a cut and strip tool to assist in the stripping of insulation from one or more insulated conductive wires; it comprises a pair of handles which are equipped, at their upper part, with an elongated wire receiving element including, at one end thereof, a cutting tool for completely severing the wire and, at the other end, a pair of wire receiving blades which make an incision in the insulation of the wires as they are inserted in the blades and which, upon actuation of the handles, initiate removal of a portion of the insulation so that the total effort for a complete insulation stripping operation is greatly reduced with the present tool as compared to that of conventional tools as a result of this initial insulation removal carried by the tool rather than by the operator.
