Abstract:
The invention concerns a device for die-cutting a stack of sheet-like materials, particularly labels, whereby the stack is pressed into the die-cutter blade by a relative movement of a punching ram and a hollow cylindrical die-cutter blade.For a device such as this, it is proposed that the die-cutter blade 18 is adjustably held in a frame 16, and the frame 16 is accommodated by a receiving apparatus 13 which is mounted in a punch platen 12 and is adjustable relative to it, whereby the frame 16 can be slid in a plane parallel to the punch platen 12, in particular is adjustable in the direction of two major axes that are essentially arranged perpendicular to one another, and can also be tilted out of the plane.Such a device allows for precise orientation of the die-cutter blade relative to the stack to be punched.

Abstract:
A material cutting device for cutting material using blade-cut dies includes a base plate adapted to support a blade-cut die thereon and a carriage movably mounted on the base plate. A press roller is rotatably mounted on the carriage, the press roller having a center longitudinal axis and being positioned above the base plate generally parallel therewith. A track device such as a rack is mounted on the base plate, and a track follower devicesuch as a rack-engaging gear is mounted on the carriage which is operative to engage said track device thereby guiding movement of the carriage on the base plate. A drive device is mounted on one of the base plate and the carriage, the drive device operative to move the carriage along the track device. A die cover is operative to cover a blade-cut die supported on said the plate. The press roller, the carriage and the drive device cooperate such that the drive device propels the carriage along the track device, the press roller engaging the die cover above a blade-cut die thereby forcing the die cover into contact with a blade-cut die supported on the base plate whereby material to be cut sandwiched between the die cover and a blade-cut die is cut in a shape designated by the blade-cut die.
Abstract:
An apparatus for continuously transporting, separating, and changing the path of webs in machines for processing webs prior to further processing are disclosed. A web consisting of at least one ribbon of material is conveyed by a pair of nip rollers arranged in a first transport path. When it is desired to separate and convey the web, for example when the web is of insufficient quality, a separating flap pivotally mounted on a first rotary axis located above the first transport path pivots downward cutting and directing the web to a second transport path. A blade flap pivotally mounted on a second rotary axis located below the first transport path opens and closes the transport path to the web. When the blade flap is in the closed position it bridges a gap between a lower guide and a guide section to allow the conveyance of a web through the first transport path.
Abstract:
In an apparatus for severing and holding a torn web for a web processing machine and more particularly for a web feed rotary printing press, comprising a knife beam having a stationary knife and arranged across the conveying plane of the web, and furthermore a strike beam having a hump adapted to come into functional engagement with the knife and which by means of an associated push-out means is able to be lifted and lowered, said means being adapted to be activated by a web tear detector, it is possible to have a design with simple and low-cost means so that the device is not only of universal application but furthermore ensures a high degree of operator safety, if the knife beam comprises two identical, bar-like knife carriers holding the knife between them, which adjacent to their side facing the strike beam are provided with symmetrically arranged holders for elastic bars flanking the knife, which bars project in relation to the cutting edge of the knife and are spaced apart by a distance at least equal to the width of the hump on the strike beam, such strike beam being formed symmetrically in relation to the plane of cutting and having two gripper surfaces which are associated with the elastic bars and flank the hump which is provided with a cutting groove, into which the knife may be introduced.
Abstract:
An improvement is made to a die cutting press and to the method of die cutting in a press by providing two opposing and oppositely driven clamping bars which move together to clamp the die board and to accurately position the clamped die board at a predetermined location within the press. The press is operated to determine the adequacy of the cut produced by the die in sheet material fed into the press. If the cut is unsatisfactory, the opposing clamp bars are quickly driven apart thereby releasing the die board. The die board can be removed from the press and then manipulated or modified to cure any imperfection in the cut. The modified die board is then reinserted into the press and accurately repositioned at the predetermined location within the press by driving the opposing clamping bars towards each other against the die board. The drive mechanism of the clamping bars insures that when the die board is securely clamped, the die board will always be accurately repositioned in the same press at exactly the location assumed by the die board when it was inserted. The opposing moving clamps automatically move the die board to the predetermined position without the need for measurement, registration or concern for variations in tolerances within a jig.
Abstract:
The disclosed cutting method and apparatus produces a pattern cut in web material by providing a generally conically-shaped rotatable anvil and oppositely disposed knife edge shaped to produce the pattern cut. The axes of symmetry containing the apex of the cone is positioned at an acute angle to the axes about which the cone is rotated. With the web positioned over the knife, the knife is brought into pressure engagement with the anvil thereby piercing the web substantially at a point. Rotation of the anvil effects progressive cutting as the anvil surface traces the cutting edge of the knife.
Abstract:
According to the disclosed process, an endless fibrous material to be cut is wound in spiral form onto a rotatable cutter roll having radially outwardly oriented knives. A cutting force acts from the outside of the cutter roll radially inwardly, by way of a pressure roller contacting the wound material, for cutting, for example, synthetic fibers. In the process, at least two cutting forces are effective against the axis of the cutter roll, these forces being directed against each other. In the apparatus for conducting the process, two pressure rollers are articulated to each other by way of a double rocket arm. Consequently, the optimum cutting level, which will be different in individual cases, is automatically set. The effective cutting force for each roller is of equal strength.
