  Those machines are referred to as slitters. I designed and built 2 for 3M Abrasive division back in the 1990’s. Talk about a process that involves less than reliable hardware, (I never met an air bar or pneumatic web sensor I didn’t hate), and enough wishful thinking to achieve the speeds 3M wanted them to run at that would make an Alchemist proud. I was constantly amazed that my designs even worked at all.

  As someone who spent a few years teaching math, this would be a cause for celebration! I would have had a classroom pizza party the next day. This is creative usage of problem solving math that I could only dream about a classroom of students could come up with.
