In a roller-style feed mechanism, a feed roll is opened and closed for the purpose of pilot release using a direct-coupled servo motor as opposed to pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. The electronically controlled servo motor drives a rotating shaft with eccentric cams that interact with cam followers causing the feed rollers separate for pilot release. The cam followers produce a force sufficient to overcome nip pressure when separating the feed rollers during pilot release. The electronically controlled servo motor is preferably operative to sense the point where the cams contact the cam followers after the upper feed roller is closed on the feed material, and automatically sense resistance to determine where the upper roll begins to lift so as to compensate for different material thicknesses. 1. A feed mechanism adapted to deliver coiled or rolled flat material into a press or other piece of equipment , comprising:a pair of upper and lower feed rollers;a feed motor causing the upper and lower rollers to rotate about parallel, spaced-apart axes to advance a feed material through the feed mechanism;an electronically controlled servo motor driving a rotating shaft that is parallel and spaced apart from the axes of the upper and lower feed rollers;opposing cams mounted on the shaft that interact with opposing cam followers coupled to one of the feed rollers, such that when the shaft is rotated by the servo motor, the feed rollers separate for pilot release.2.

A medium cutting device includes first and second conveying sections and a cutting section. The first conveying section conveys a continuous medium having a perforation that extends in a first direction. The first conveying section conveys the continuous medium in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The second conveying section is spaced from the first conveying section in the second direction, and conveys the continuous medium in the second direction. The cutting section includes a pressing member and a supporting member. The pressing member is movable in the first direction in a gap between the first and second conveying sections. The supporting member movably supports the pressing member in the second direction. The cutting section causes the pressing member to press the continuous medium while causing the pressing member to move in the first direction, thereby cutting the continuous medium at the perforation. 1. A medium cutting device comprising:a first conveying section that conveys a continuous medium having a perforation, the perforation extending in a first direction, the first conveying section conveying the continuous medium in a second direction that intersects the first direction;a second conveying section spaced from the first conveying section in the second direction, the second conveying section conveying the continuous medium in the second direction; anda cutting section including a pressing member and a supporting member, the pressing member being movable in the first direction in a gap between the first conveying section and the second conveying section, the supporting member movably supporting the pressing member in the second direction, the cutting section causing the pressing member to press the continuous medium while causing the pressing member to move in the first direction and thereby cutting the continuous medium at the perforation.2. The medium cutting device according to claim 1 , in which the pressing member intersects ...

A blank non-adhesive label stock roll containing a continuous blank non-adhesive label sheet is printed as it is being unrolled to provide a multiplicity of pre-printed labels thereon. As the label sheet is being unrolled, each of the printed labels is partially cut along a peripheral edge thereof to leave a plurality of spaced apart uncut ties joining points along the peripheral edge to a scrim area of the label sheet to thereby maintain removable attachment of each of the pre-printed labels to the scrim area. Following printing and partial cutting of the labels, the label sheet is rerolled to form a pre-printed and pre-cut label stock roll, which is then controllably unrolled to permit selective removal of the pre-printed and pre-cut labels by an apparatus that conveys them for use in an external molding process. 1. Apparatus for use in handling in-mold labels , comprising:a servo-driven label stock roll comprising a continuous non-adhesive label sheet having a multiplicity of non-adhesive labels pre-printed thereon and having a distinguishing feature mark associated with each of said non-adhesive labels also pre-printed thereon, each of said pre-printed non-adhesive labels having previously been partially cut along a peripheral edge thereof so as to leave a plurality of spaced apart uncut ties joining points along said peripheral edge to a scrim area of said label sheet to thereby maintain removable attachment of each of said pre-printed non-adhesive labels to said scrim area;an active float roll for receiving a free end of said label sheet unrolled from said label stock roll, said active float roll being operative for maintaining a constant tension in said label sheet as it is being unrolled from said label stock roll and for providing feedback for controlling the rate at said label sheet is unrolled from said label stock roll;a plurality of idler rolls positioned downstream from said active float roll for defining a path of said label sheet as it is being ...
