Abstract: The present invention provides a cutting device for liquid crystal substrate and cutting monitoring method thereof. The monitoring method includes: using a plurality of cutters to cut a liquid crystal substrate into a plurality of liquid crystal panels; inspecting respective cutting precision data of different cutting edges of a same liquid crystal panel; summarizing cutting precision data of liquid crystal panels cut by a same cutter; and monitoring cutting characteristics of cutter according to average, maximum and/or minimum of the summarized cutting precision data. Through associating cutter and cutting precision data and summarizing the cutting precision data corresponding to a same cutter, the present invention can accurately monitor the cutting characteristics of cutter in real time and can identify the corresponding cutter when abnormal situation of cutting characteristics occurs.

Abstract: A safety system prevents cutting machine operators from being accidentally carried through the infeed chute into the machine's cutting mechanism. An operator wears a safety device on his wrist and/or ankle and a sensor array mounts on opposing sides of the cutting machine's infeed chute. The sensor array elements are wound in opposite directions and connect in series opposing. The magnetic field of the safety device induces a current in the sensor array as it moves in the proximity of the sensor array. The safety system generates a signal which is proportional to the sum of the induced currents. When the signal exceeds a threshold, the safety system shuts off power to the feed mechanism and/or the cutting blades of the cutting machine, preventing injury to the operator.

Abstract: A device for cutting to size and handling a substantially planar blank from a planar CFRP semi-finished product positioned on a cutting table by a cutting means, it being possible for the separated blank to be drawn up by suction and at least raised by a vacuum effector, characterised in that at least one blank electrode can be brought into contact with the blank and at least one peripheral electrode can be brought into contact with a peripheral portion separated from the CFRP semi-finished product and the at least two electrodes are connected to a voltage source and to a measuring means, the measuring means being able to detect a complete separation of the blank from the CFRP semi-finished product.

Abstract: An apparatus for portioning meat, comprising a base unit, control means, first drive means mounted to said base unit, casing mounted to said base unit, further comprising: second drive means to cooperate with said first drive means for rotating said casing, and pressing member dividing said casing into at least two chambers, an in-feed chamber and a pressing chamber, said pressing member is mounted to said base unit off-center, with respect to said casing, substantially closer to the pressing chamber such that said pressing member has freedom to move in direction substantially perpendicular to the off-center direction, an ejecting device, mounted to said base unit, portioning plate receiving the meat ejected from said pressing chamber, a position adjustable bottom piece, a cutting means, positioned between the pressing chamber and the portioning plate.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a saw can include a work surface and a blade at least partially extending through the work surface. In at least one embodiment, the saw can further include a sensor and a light emitter, wherein the light emitter can be configured to emit a first light beam and a second light beam onto at least a portion of the work surface. In various embodiments, the sensor can be can be configured to detect a plurality of saw conditions and, owing to communication between the sensor and the light emitter, the light emitter can be configured to emit the first light beam onto the work surface when the sensor detects a first saw condition and emit the second light beam onto the work surface when the sensor detects a second saw condition.

Abstract: A food product slicer includes a base and a knife mounted for rotation relative to the base via a knife drive motor. A carriage assembly is mounted to the base for reciprocal movement back and forth past a cutting edge of the knife via a carriage drive motor. An adjustable gauge plate is provided. During a manual assist slicing operation a level of assistance provided by the carriage drive motor varies according to loading on the knife motor.

Abstract: A lower guillotine cutter blade (2) is mounted to a frame (1). A guillotine cutter-blade holder (3) holds an upper guillotine cutter blade (4) and vertically reciprocates with respect to the lower guillotine cutter blade (2). Rods (6) are vertically slidably mounted to the guillotine cutter-blade holder (3). A pressing plate (5) is secured to the lower ends of the rods (6). Springs (7) are fitted around the rods (6) between the guillotine cutter-blade holder (3) and the pressing plate (5) for downwardly elastically biasing the rods (6) so that the heads (6a) of the rods are kept abutted against the guillotine cutter-blade holder (3). In a cutting operation, after the pressing plate (5) is brought into abutment with a batch of paper (20), the guillotine cutter-blade holder (3) is further downwardly moved, thereby causing the lower and upper guillotine cutter blades (2 and 4) to cut the batch of paper (20) and also causing the heads (6a) to upwardly protrude from the guillotine cutter-blade holder (3).

Abstract: A circular sawing machine includes a work table, a saw seat having a first end provided with a saw blade and a second end pivotally mounted the work table, and an indication device mounted on the saw seat. The indication device includes a support seat secured on the saw seat, a slide seat mounted on the support seat, and an indication light source mounted on the slide seat.
