Rotary cutting machine

Номер: US20120000333A1
Автор: David Sasur, Kenneth HATCHER, Rosemary SHIMP
Принадлежит: Simplicity Pattern Co Inc

A rotary cutting device includes a body having a cutter blade with a cutting edge and a pressure roller mounted relative to the cutter blade. The cutter blade is configured to rotate about a rotational axis. The pressure roller is rotationally fixed. The cutter blade and the pressure roller are positioned relative to each other such that pressure is applied to a material fed therebetween. As the cutter blade rotates relative to the pressure roller, the pressure applied to the material being fed therebetween allows for a width of material to cut by a cutting edge of rotating cutter blade. An embossing roller may be used in place of the cutter blade to emboss material. The device also includes guide for guiding material into the machine, pressure adjustment for pressure applied to the material, and rotational speed control. A method for using the rotary cutting device is also disclosed.

Description of Related ArtCurrent days pneumatically driven tools, and others, for punching or embossing workpieces at high speeds and while the workpiece is in movement, i.e. impacting “on the fly” can handle some types of materials such as specific kinds of plastic, leather sheets and films however can't handle other kinds of materials, for example, Polypropylene and other kinds of polymer based materials mostly due to their rigidness, tendency to break and low critical temperature. For example, attempts to perforate Polypropylene using current days pneumatically driven punching machine will require drastically lower speed in order to prevent breaking the material and will allow punching only one layer at a time in order to prevent soldering the layers to one another due to the heat created during the punching process.U.S. Pat.

In the method for manufacturing embossing rollers for a device for embossing packaging materials that comprises a set of at least two embossing rollers of which one is driven, and whereby the embossing roller set comprises a male roller having a male surface structure including structural elements and/or logo structures and a female roller having a female surface structure that is associated to the surface structure of the male roller for the common embossing operation with the male roller, the female surface structure is produced independently of a previously produced or physically pre-existing associated male surface structure. Along with a high embossing accuracy, this allows creating a very large variety of embossing structures, on one hand, and using a very large number of the most diverse materials, on the other hand, as well as reducing transverse tensions in the embossed material.

An apparatus and a method for inserting a non-round circular-blank core into a non-round hole of a circular-blank ring to create a circular blank. A transporting device transports the circular-blank ring to an insertion location. A feed device transports the circular-blank core to the insertion location. The circular-blank core is positioned on the hole of the circular-blank ring and inserted into the hole with the aid of a pushing-in device, which applies a pushing-in force. If the non-round hole is not in alignment with the non-round circular-blank core, the circular-blank core and the circular-blank ring are rotated relative to one another at the insertion location by generation of the pushing-in force. The circular-blank ring is preferably moved, by the pushing-in force, onto an alignment mandrel, which causes the circular-blank ring to rotate in its circumferential direction until the contours of the circular-blank core and of the hole are in alignment. 11011121314151211.
