Apparatus for producing continuous form stationery folds a strip of paper along transverse lines of weakening formed therealong to form a zig-zag stack of paper. The apparatus alters the orientation of the zig-zag stack of paper to facilitate further processing of the paper.

System for delivering folded paper

An apparatus and method are provided for neatening stacks of thin products, such as sliced luncheon meat, within a processing and packaging operation. The neatening apparatus receives an uneven stack of foodstuff slices that are generally horizontally oriented, and the apparatus reorients the stack of foodstuff slices by rotating them through a generally vertical orientation and to a generally horizontal outfeed orientation. A tamping assembly is adjacent to the reorienting assembly, and the tamping assembly contacts the peripheral edges of the foodstuff slices in order to tamp and shake same to a neatened condition. A generally horizontally oriented outfeed assembly receives the thus neatened stack at the location of generally horizontal outfeed orientation.

Product neatening system

A method includes outputting a test initiation command over a power supply cable to a first load device, receiving, at the first load device, the test initiation command and testing the first load device. The method also includes generating first test data for the first load device, inserting the first test data into a data packet and forwarding the data packet to another load device. The method further includes repeating the inserting and forwarding for each of the load devices.

Testing and monitoring an electrical system

Apparatus and a method are disclosed for associating a strip with a set of stacked sheets. The strip, which may be paper tape, is positioned intersecting a path along which a set of sheets such as paper sheets is advanced. The sheet set is advanced towards the strip so that the downstream edge of the sheet set engages the strip with portions of the strip extending substantially beyond opposed major sides of the sheet set. The strip is then folded at least once to the sheet set adjacent the downstream edge of the sheet set with the strip portions extending generally adjacent the major sides of the sheet set. The strip is folded by advancing the sheet set and the strip through a nip. The strip is indexed from a roll to the position in the path of the sheet set. The strip is tensioned and is drawn against a knife edge as the sheet set advances through the nip to sever the strip from the roll.

Sheet set separation using folded strips

In a bore size correcting apparatus, a passing-through jig of an extended type lapping reamer in the bore size trimming device is passed through the bore surface of the workpiece machined by the bore grinding machine to correct the inner size of the workpiece, either one of the bore size to be corrected and a corrected bore size of the workpiece is measured by the bore size measuring device, a signal is outputted in accordance with the corrected bore size, and in response to the output signal, a machining command is supplied from the bore size control device to at least one of the in-process fixed-size control device and the external size control device. Thus, the bore size of the workpiece roughly manufactured by grinding can be precisely finished, with no skill, so as to have any optional set value, and the correction apparatus is also made compact and inexpensive.

Bore size correcting apparatus

The present invention relates to a machine for grinding and honing the bores or interior surfaces of hollow worklpieces; the invention resides in the provision of a simple and compact machine organization whereby with a single chucking of the workpiece, the latter's bore can be subjected, either...
