Раскрыта листообрабатывающая машина, при работе которой обрезка листов со всех сторон и разделение их на части листов осуществляется "в режиме реального времени". Печатные листы в машине обрезаются по кромкам с помощью устройств поперечного резания печатных листов. Посредством первого устройства поперечного резания осуществляют обрезание полоски от задней кромки печатного листа перпендикулярно к направлению транспортировки. После этого печатный лист поворачивают так, что обрезанная кромка печатного листа движется первой. Движущуюся теперь последней переднюю кромку печатного листа также обрезают перпендикулярно к направлению транспортировки посредством второго устройства поперечного резания. Лист разделяют на некоторое количество расположенных рядом друг с другом частей листа с помощью продольного разреза. Выполнение поперечных разрезов подвергают проверке с помощью контрольного устройства. Лист и/или части печатного листа транспортируют системами захвата листа. Технический результат способа ...

Foam section cutter - has laser beam with controlled energy supply and cutting speed to cut and seal edges simultaneously

To cut shaped foam material sections, where the material is covered on both sides and the foam is compressed between the sections to the thickness of the covering layers, a laser beam is moved along the cutting line between sections which, simultaneously, severs the sections and seals the cut edges. The energy delivered by the laser beam, to melt the layers of the foam sections, is pref. carried over to the cut edges, and the ratio of beam energy to cutting speed is selected to ensure that the cut edges of the layers round the foam fuse together. The alignment of the laser beam is generally orthogonal to the plane of the layer to be cut over the foam. ADVANTAGE - The material can be cut and sealed rapidly and effectively, without complex appts., in a process which can be automated.

Cutting continuous magnetic tape - using pair of rotary blades above and below tape, which are offset slightly to avoid burred edge

Cutting continuous magnetic tape, having a magnetic coating on a nonmagnetic substrate, is carried out from the front and back of the tape with a pair of rotary blades. The axis of rotation of the blades is parallel to the surface of the tape and in the direction of the tape width and the blades have a radial overlap. The novelty is that the gap between the cutting edges of the blades in the tape width direction is 3-20% of the thickness of the tape. Pref. at least one of the blades has a bevelled cutting edge. The bevel pref. is such that the bevel height along the tape thickness direction at the surface is 1.4 to 100 times the tape thickness and the bevel width along the tape width direction at the side is 1/40 to 18 times the tape thickness. ADVANTAGE - The technique avoids forming burrs along the edge of the tape and soiling the tape running system or peripheral equipment used in the tape mfg. process.

Endless saw for cutting synthetic foams - comprising a steel cable with helically wound flights or barbs

Moving cutter comprises an elastic core cable of 0.5-2 mm. dia. with a braking strain of 5-30 kp and having a rough surface moving at 30-60 m./s. perpendicularly to a block of synthetic foam being traversed past the moving cutter to obtain a straight or curved profile cut. Used esp. for cutting slabs of expanded polyethylene to outlines incorporating small radii or curvature. The wire type cutter can produce sharper changes of profile than conventional ribbon type bandsaw blades. The flights or barbs are not integral with the core cable structure and do not weaken the core to the same degree as tooth root profile in a narrow saw band. Mechanical cutting avoids refusion of cut surfaces of use of hot wire cutters.

WEAR-INDICATING BLADE

A cutting blade partially covered with one or more layers covering a part of the blade, with one of the layers being a wear layer which has a different visual appearance than the underlying material of the blade, and wears away more quickly than the core material when the blade is used, so that the underlying material of the blade is uncovered as soon as this wear layer is completely removed in partial areas, providing a clear visual signal that it needs to be replaced. The present invention relates to a blade with wear indicating means.Blades, be it for propellers on aircrafts, boats, in pumps or for all sorts of scraping and cutting tools, all owe their efficiency to a particular geometry. For instance, the blades used to propel fluids must feature a sharp edge for cutting through the fluid without effort and a smooth surface to minimize frictions. Besides, functional cutting and scraping blades obviously require a sharp edge. However, the lifetime of a blade subjected to intensive use may not exceed a few hours until it becomes unsuitably worn out. The progressive erosion of the sharp edge of the blade is due to the repetitive friction against the object to cut, to scrape or the fluid to propel. A blunt blade represents a waste of time and energy, since more force and more time are required to achieve the same result. In addition, the blade does not wear out uniformly, which may result in a dented and rough cutting edge. For example, cavitation is a significant cause of erosion on the sides of propelling blades for liquids. A dented blade has disastrous consequences: instead of a clean cut, the material in the way of a cutting or scraping blade may be torn out. Similarly, a dented propelling blade may generate chaotic turbulences rather than a strong laminar flow. Eventually, the blade cannot be used any more and it has to be discarded.For the sake of simplicity, the following introduction and description shall focus on blades for cutting, scraping and the like. ...
