Abstract: Examples include a die-cutting unit that includes a device for changing a die-cutting cylinder. The die-cutting unit includes at least one die-cutting cylinder and at least one anvil cylinder. The die-cutting cylinder is arranged in a die-cutting position for die-cutting, and the at least one die-cutting cylinder is exchangeable for at least one other die-cutting cylinder by means of the device for changing the die-cutting cylinder. A shortest straight connecting line between the axis of rotation of the die-cutting cylinder in the die-cutting position and the axis of rotation of the die-cutting cylinder in the move-out position is inclined less than 30 degrees with respect to a horizontal plane. Further, a shortest straight connecting line between the axis of rotation of the die-cutting cylinder in the move-out position and a maintenance position is inclined less than 30 degrees with respect to a vertical direction.

Abstract: Some examples include a die-cutting unit that includes a device for changing a die-cutting cylinder. The die-cutting unit includes at least one die-cutting cylinder and at least one anvil cylinder. The die-cutting cylinder is arrangeable and/or arranged in a die-cutting position for die-cutting. The die-cutting cylinder is exchangeable for at least one further die-cutting cylinder by means of a device for changing the die-cutting cylinder. The device for changing the die-cutting cylinder includes a locking mechanism for fixing the die-cutting cylinder in the die-cutting position and/or for releasing the die-cutting cylinder from the die-cutting position. The locking mechanism acts so as to point away from a shaping point.

Abstract: Examples include a die-cutting unit that includes a device for changing a die-cutting cylinder. The die-cutting unit includes at least one die-cutting cylinder and at least one anvil cylinder. The die-cutting cylinder is arranged in a die-cutting position for die-cutting, and is exchangeable for at least one further die-cutting cylinder by means of the device for changing the die-cutting cylinder. One of the die-cutting cylinders is arrangeable in a waiting position for guiding the two die-cutting cylinders past one another. The waiting position is a position that is outside a direct guide path between the die-cutting position and a maintenance position for the set-up and/or maintenance of one of the die-cutting cylinders. Further, the waiting position is arranged lower, in the vertical direction, by no more than 100 percent of a diameter of the die-cutting cylinder in the die-cutting position or, alternatively, is located above the die-cutting position.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention relates to a computing unit (RE) for executing a conversion algorithm, having an interface (UI) for acquiring a first cutting parameter data set (1SP); and having a processor (P) which is designed to extract a movement profile object (bpo) and which is also designed to execute a conversion algorithm that is stored in a memory of the electronic computing unit (RE) so that it can be loaded and/or executed to calculate and provide the second cutting parameter data set (2SP) to the acquired first cutting parameter data set (1SP), wherein the second cutting parameter data set (2SP) is calculated as a function of the extracted movement profile object (bpo).

Abstract: A cable management system includes a support having a peripheral edge defining a central opening and a longitudinally extending channel having a laterally extending bottom shelf and an upwardly extending retainer wall. At least one of the bottom shelf and retainer wall have a pass-through opening formed there through. The channel is positioned adjacent to a portion of the peripheral edge of the support with the retainer wall laterally spaced apart from the portion of the peripheral edge so as to form a gap there between defining a mouth of the channel. A door is moveably coupled to the support. The door is moveable between a first position, wherein at least a portion of the central opening defined by the support is uncovered, and a second position, wherein the portion of central opening defined by the support is covered. A worksurface assembly and method of use are also provided.
