摘要:
An apparatus for manufacturing a discrete curved product from a feed stock includes a source of heat that is adapted to impose a focused beam of light on at least one surface of a work piece to cause the surface of the work piece to expand and thereby move in the general direction of the heat source so as to impart a predetermined radius of curvature to the work piece. The apparatus is described in connection with one example where it may be employed to manufacture a curved backbone for a beam blade windshield wiper assembly from feed stock. In addition, a method of manufacturing a discrete curved product from feed stock, generally, as well as a discrete curved backbone for a beam blade windshield wiper assembly from feed stock, specifically, is also disclosed.

A process for precision patterning or cutting of a sheet stock, such as an adhesive tape, includes the step of irradiating a surface of a sheet stock with an irradiation source to pattern or cut a part in the sheet stock. The method is particularly useful for precision cutting adhesive members, such as adhesive fluid seals, for an inkjet print cartridge.

This invention involves a method and apparatus for welding and/or cutting flexible packaging material (1) using lasers. The invention is specifically directed towards the use of lasers for cutting and/or welding plastics material (1) in motion, such as in association with high speed packaging machinery. The method and apparatus of the invention enables the cutting and/or welding of adjacent webs of plastics material (1) by scanning one or more processing laser beams (4), or sub-beams (5, 6) of the or each processing laser beam (4), across said moving layers (1) at a rate controlled in relation to the rate of motion of the layers (1) of substrate. The method and apparatus may produce straight or shaped cuts and/or welds.
摘要:
A method for slitting and sealing a lamination having a polyethylene layer and a coextruded film having a nylon.TM. layer. The improvement comprises slitting and sealing the two films with a laser generated light beam. The films are co-wound such that the coextruded film is closest to the laser. The laser slits the coextruded film first and thereafter the lamination. The polyethylene side of the lamination is positioned closest to the laser and is slit prior to other layers of the lamination. The method allows the polyethylene more time to absorb the energy from the laser and takes advantage of the efficient energy absorbing characteristics of the nylon.TM. in the coextruded film, resulting in improved slitting and sealing rates.
摘要:
Label-forming and applying apparatus is provided which dispenses a web of label material presenting individual labels with respective boundaries, and individually cuts such labels using one or more laser beams. The laser unit is equipped with a controller having an electronic memory which stores information about the label boundaries, so that the laser unit can be precisely controlled in order to successively cut labels from the web. An applicator assembly is also provided which picks up the cut labels and transfers the labels to an application station where they are applied to respective articles.

A continuous tube (1) is prepared by extrusion of a plastic material. Flow regulators or "drips" (4) are welded at intervals onto its internal wall, said drips comprising a collecting chamber, which is provided on the face turned towards the tube (1), and connected, by a narrow passage, to the interior of the tube. The tube is moved continuously in front of a non contact detector, preferably a capacitive sensor (40) which detects the beginning or the end of the passing of a flow regulator before it. One thus controls, as a function of the detector signals, perforation in the wall of the tube, of a hole connecting the collecting chamber to the exterior, with the aid of a laser (42), preferably a Nd:YAG laser and a focusing optic (44).

The disclosure involves an apparatus (1) for the flying-shear cutting of thin-layer material, reeled off from a coil, by laser radiation, especially metal strips, fabrics, synthetic resins, paper, cardboard, and composite materials. In order to be able to crosscut individual strip sections (17) at high speeds without having to arrest the strip (2), the apparatus (1) consists of a traverse (3) arranged at an angle to the travel direction (a) of the strip (2), this traverse being rotatably supported and driven about its longitudinal axis of symmetry (4). Mutually opposed guides (5) for two separately operable laser cutting heads (6) with nozzles (7) are mounted in parallel to the longitudinal axis of symmetry (4) of the traverse (3). The laser cutting heads (6) are in each case movable separately or individually by way of the guides (5). The nozzles (7) of the two laser cutting heads (6) are arranged to face away from each other and project through longitudinally extending slots (8)in an outer housing (9)of the traverse (3).
摘要:
A device for perforating cigarette wrapping material by means of at least one-laser beam, whereby the wrapping material, in the form of a strip, is fed past a focusing head which is supplied with a pulsed laser beam by a laser source and focuses it on to the strip by moving the focused beam in a plane slanting in relation to the traveling direction of the strip; a shutter element, made of material impervious to the laser beam, being used for intercepting and restricting the focused beam to a sector of given shape and size, and so preventing the beam from impinging on given portions of the strip.
