  • AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTABLE SYSTEM FOR CUTTING AT VARIABLE NOTCH ANGLES
    Publication number: 20220371216
    Abstract: A knife assembly for cutting a substrate during relative motion between the knife and the substrate, the assembly including a knife having a distal knife blade and a proximal knife shaft attached to a holder rotatable about a first axis perpendicular to the substrate to define a cut direction angle. The holder is also configured to rotate the knife blade about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis to form a notch angle relative to the first axis. The notch angle is preferably automatically infinitely adjustable within a range of angles. The holder may also, optionally, be configured to rotate the knife blade about a third axis perpendicular to a plane defined by the knife blade to adjust an angle of attack of the knife blade relative to the substrate.

  • Heated tool for cutting and sealing meltable material
    Patent number: 11364651
    Abstract: A tool for cutting a substrate and method of use. The tool has a blade with a distal cutting tip at least one shoulder on one side of and proximal the cutting tip. The cutting tip and shoulder are positioned so that when cutting, at least a portion of the at least one shoulder is in contact with at least one cut edge of the substrate defined by a cut line formed by penetrating the substrate thickness with the cutting tip. A heater heats the blade shoulder to a temperature that causes the portion of the shoulder in contact with the cut edge of the substrate to seal the cut edge. The method includes heating the blade, penetrating the substrate with the cutting tip with a portion of the shoulder contacting the substrate, and moving the blade relative to the substrate.
