Traveling Cutter Patents (Class 83/353)
  • Patent number: 8176618
    Abstract: A solid electrolyte body is placed on and fixed to an upper plate of a press jig such that a major surface (an upper surface) of the solid electrolyte body faces one major surface of a guide plate having an open space. The upper plate is rotated by a transfer mechanism to incline the solid electrolyte body in one direction, and the inclined solid electrolyte body is moved toward the other major surface of the guide plate such that a first edge of the solid electrolyte body protrudes from the open space. Then, a cutter is slid along the other major surface, so that the first edge is chamfered to form a first chamfered portion.

  • Patent number: 5974928
    Abstract: A continuous strip of sheet paper material is divided into blanks by a device comprising a cutter and an anvil rendered capable of sliding movement one in relation to the other and establishing a cutting position toward which the strip is advanced by way of a passage incorporated into the anvil; the cutter is reciprocated across the anvil in such a manner as to pass through the cutting position transversely to the strip, alternating between two limit positions on opposite sides of the passage, the geometry being such that the cutter will vacate the passage entirely when occupying either one of the two limit positions.

  • Patent number: 5311802
    Abstract: A cut-off machine for cutting off predetermined lengths from a moving length of roll form material such as tubing adapted to be positioned downstream from a source comprising a plurality of cut-off assemblies which are reciprocated longitudinally of the moving length of material and operated during the movement to sever plural predetermined lengths. A servo motor crank drive assembly is provided which includes a crank having a roller which is yieldingly engaged with a cam track that has a flat tangential portion such that the roller traverses the flat portion. During this movement across the flat portion, the cut-off assemblies are reciprocated driven at a speed corresponding to the speed of movement of the tube at the time the lengths of tubing are being cut off.

  • Patent number: 5018417
    Abstract: The graphic tape slicer comprises a frame having a feed guide at the rear end for receiving the graphic tape from a roll. A cutting blade is mounted in the center of the frame on a traveling blade holder that engages a threaded rod. Rollers through which the tape is extracted are mounted on the front of the frame. The extraction rollers are joined by a pulley arrangement to the threaded rod. When the graphic tape is extracted from the slicer, the front drive rollers rotate which, through the action of the pulleys, causes the threaded rod to rotate. This causes the blade to move along the threads of the threaded rod. This movement effects the cutting blade to move across the width of the graphic tape causing a resulting length of graphic tape being cut at an oblique angle. By disengaging the pulley arrangement, the blade can be positioned in a fixed location along the length of the threaded rod which will result in a straight cut along the length of the graphic tape.

  • Patent number: 4335636
    Abstract: An apparatus for cutting a newly formed continuous sheet being transported longitudinally along a belt conveyor, and particularly a newly formed gypsum board sheet, the cutting taking place in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the sheet, comprising a frame, a high pressure fluid jet cutter mounted to move obliquely with respect to the direction of the moving sheet, wherein the vector component of velocity of the forward motion of the cutter equals the forward velocity of the moving sheet, and means for rotating the support on which the jet cutter is mounted to another oblique position so that a successive cut may be made from the other side. In an improved embodiment, tank means is arranged to catch the spent fluid from the jet cutter so that the cutter may traverse the moving sheet from either side successively without turning off the fluid jet.

  • Patent number: 4048885
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for cutting a continuously moving sheet material in which a nozzle for directing a jet stream of fluid under high pressure is driven in predetermined directions along a closed track consisting of a pair of straight paths intersecting each other symmetrically at a predetermined angle relative to the cutting direction of the sheet material and a pair of curved paths connecting the associated ends of the straight paths. In the method and apparatus, the moving velocity of the jet nozzle is controlled as a function of the feeding velocity of the sheet material and the desired length of sheets cut from the sheet material, and the energy of the fluid under high pressure directed from the moving jet nozzle toward the sheet material is utilized to cut the sheet material into the sheets of desired length.
