  • Publication number: 20240351819
    Abstract: A machine (1) for producing packages of napkins, tissues, towels, or similar products, comprises a support frame (100) to support a feeding group (10) which feeds a first and a second web of paper (5a, 5b). The support frame (100) supports, furthermore, a cutting group (20) which cuts the first and second webs of paper (5a, 5b) respectively in a first and a second plurality of sheets (6) of predetermined length, and a folding or interfolding group (30) which folds or interfolds the sheets of paper (6) at a folding or interfolding zone, (35) in such a way to obtain a stack (150) of folded or interfolded sheets, according to a predetermined folding or interfolding configuration. The cutting group (20) and the folding or interfolding group (30) are mounted on the same support body (110) to move between an assembled position in which is supported by the support frame (100), and a disassembled position, in which is not supported by the support frame (100).

  • Publication number: 20240208766
    Abstract: A folding or interfolding unit includes first and second folding or interfolding rolls to fold or interfold the sheets of paper according to a predetermined folding or interfolding configuration. The first and second folding or interfolding rolls include, respectively, a tubular body configured to rotate in a predetermined direction of rotation about a longitudinal rotation axis, and gripping groups, each of which includes a mechanical gripping member configured to move, at a gripping point, from an opening position to a closing position, which is arranged to mechanically hold the sheets up to a releasing point. Each gripping group includes at least one suction hole associated to each mechanical gripping member. A vacuum distribution device selectively pneumatically connects at least one suction hole at a time to a device for generating a predetermined vacuum degree, to cause the sheets of paper to adhere between starting and ending positions.

  • Publication number: 20200047261
    Abstract: A key duplicating machine includes a clamp configured to retain a key to be copied, a reader assembly for reading cuts of the key, and a cutting tool for reproducing the cuts on a blank key. The reader includes a support bearing a feeler element with an end which contacts the cuts on the key and is movable with respect to the support along a first reference direction (Y) parallel to a resting plane. A position sensor, in electronic communication with a controller, continuously detects position changes along the first reference direction (Y) of the feeler element with respect to the support. The support or the clamp is movable along at least a second reference direction (X) that is orthogonal to the first reference direction. During movement of the support or clamp along the second reference direction, the reading end maintains contact with the cuts to follow the cut shapes.

  • Publication number: 20180274895
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for reading the profile of a key (5) defined by a head portion (5?) and a shank portion (5?). Such an apparatus comprises a lighting chamber (60) provided with an inlet section (9) for inserting said key and an optical device (50) operatively associated with the chamber (60). The optical device (50) defines an optical axis (200) and is configured to capture at least one image of the profile. The apparatus (1) further comprises a support device (10) which defines a bearing plane (100) for at least one segment of said key (5), in which such a bearing plane (100) is parallel to said optical axis (200). The apparatus further comprises a lighting device configured to illuminate at least one terminal part of the key shank once it has been inserted into the chamber (60).

  • Patent number: 4048817
    Abstract: A knitting machine has a lowering cam which acts on the butts of the needles to lower the needles in an active stroke. A stop cam associated with the lowering cam acts on the butts to decelerate the needles at the end of the stroke. The relative positions of the lowering cam and the stop cam can be adjusted in two mutually transverse directions to ensure smooth engagement of the butts with the stop cam.
