Abstract:
A cutting assembly and seal integrity monitoring system for a filling and heat sealing line is disclosed which has a continuous conveyor (12) which moves containers (15) past a filling station, a heat seal station (20), a seal integrity monitoring system (26) and a cutting station (28). The cutting station (28) includes a carriage plate (50) and a cutting member (60), (190) mounted on the carriage plate (50). A drive belt (138) is connected to the carriage (50) for driving the carriage (50) on linear bearings (44) and a lifting ram (78), (238) is provided for raising the cutting assembly (60) so that the cutting assembly (60) can be raised and lowered to perform a cutting operation. A seal integrity monitoring system includes cameras (310) which monitor the seal area of a container and supply information to a processor (320). The processor (320) analyses the data received by the cameras by determining the grey intensity of light received and comparing the grey intensity with predetermined intensities so as to determine whether the seal is intact or broken.
Abstract:
An apparatus for punching and binding a stack of papers is disclosed. The apparatus includes a paper clamp and a binding element insertion device that are movable a relative to each other. The binding element insertion device is configured to receive and detect binding elements of different sizes. The apparatus also includes a punching mechanism, a controller, and a user interface. The controller controls movement of the paper clamp and the binding element insertion device based on the size of the binding element needed to bind the stack of papers together. The user interface is configured to provide information to a user of the apparatus and to receive input from the user before, during, and after the punching and binding operation.
Abstract:
A die cutting press (10) having a base platen (12), a bolster (16) shiftably and rotatably mounted on the base platen, and a die unit (22) mounted on the bolster for movement therewith is povided for precision cutting of individual part-defining areas (30, 230) from longitudinal and laterally-arranged rows of part areas of a relatively thin substrate (32, 232) that is susceptible to deformation and warpage during its manufacture and wherein registration indicia (236, 238) is provided in association with each of the part-defining areas. Improved die registration apparatus includes a delivery unit (44) for successively shifting the substrate in order to bring a cross-row (36) of individual part areas into general alignment with the die unit, an indexing device (66) operable to successively shift a cutting die (56) of the die unit laterally of the substrate and relative to the bolster into general alignment with successive ones of said part areas, and cutting die registration mechanism connected to the bolster operable to sense and respond to the registration indicium associated with each respective part area to rotate and shift the bolster laterally different distances and angles depending upon distance of the part to be cut from the pivot axis of the bolster.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a punching machine with a stand-like machine frame (1) consisting of a lower part embodied as a punching table (2), a bridge-like upper part and two intermediate supports, in addition to a punching carriage (4) which can travel along the length of the punching area in a horizontal manner on runners (3). The detachably assembled or screwed machine frame is formed by a front wall sheet (5) and a rear wall sheet (6) with a respective machine opening (7) in the punching area in order to create a frame, in addition to a punching table which is embodied as a separate flexurally resistant component which is maintained in the lower base part (8) of the frame e.g. by means of hinge pins (9) or feather keys, together with spacers (11) which connect the front wall sheet and rear wall sheet in the upper brige part (10) of said frame.
Abstract:
Automatic die cutting machine for making laminar labels, comprising a supporting frame (2), supporting a substantially horizontal surface plate (3), means for feeding a film (F) of laminar material step by step along a longitudinal direction (L), means comprising a pair of independent punches (8, 8') with blades (10, 10') reproducing the shape of the label to shear said film (F) forming one or more labels (T) at a time, staging means (9, 9') for the cut labels (T), and grasping means for removal and transfer of the cut labels (T) incorporated in the cutting means (8, 8'). Every punch (8, 8') includes elastic compensation means adapted to maintain the blades (10, 10') substantially parallel to the surface plate (3) and constantly in the predetermined tolerances.
Abstract:
A punch press comprising a head including a ram and dies, which are movable in a Y-axis direction, the head being provided on a body frame; and a first and a second unit for moving a work in an X-axis direction and positioning the same, the first and second units being provided on opposite sides of the head in the X-axis direction of a region of movement of the head.

Tabakteilchen (32) werden aus dem Ausgangsmaterial mit einem Stanzwerkzeug (16, 22) in einer Stanzstation ausgestanzt. Eine Vielzahl ausgestanzter Tabakteilchen (32) wird als kleinteiliges Tabakgut (4, 4') bereitgestellt.
Abstract:
Stamping system for photo-digitalized monitoring has as its object an innovative cutting process by stamping, included in the electromechanical field, used for cutting around thin objects embedded between two polymeric films, since it innovatively comprises a process in which the transponders (1) are transported until the plastifier-cutter, being plastified between two polymeric pellicles, thus forming a double film pellicle (15) which follows until the locator-cutter device, which has the principle of transponder (1) localization on the double film pellicle (15) and its corresponding cuttings by stamping by means of the plastifier-cutter, by analysing the image of the contours of the transponder (1) to be cut, when it gets close to the vision field (22) of the digital video camera (20), so to direct it until the center of the stamping cylinder body (18), which is immediately activated by means of the pneumatic piston (17), cutting the plastified transponder (1A) over the support table (23) and subsequently ejecting it by means of the ejecting device (19), both computer (21) commanded.
