Methods and apparatuses for anvil reconditioning

A rotary apparatus comprising:

• a frame;
• a first roll defining a first longitudinal axis, wherein the first roll is rotatably connected with the frame and configured to rotate about the first longitudinal axis;
• a bearer ring connected with the first roll;
• a second roll defining a second longitudinal axis and comprising an outer radial surface, wherein the second roll is rotatably connected with the frame and is configured to rotate about the second longitudinal axis, the second roll positioned relative to the first roll such that the bearer ring is in contact with the outer radial surface and such that the first longitudinal axis is substantially parallel with the second longitudinal axis;
• and
• a reconditioning member comprising an abrasive surface engaged with the outer radial surface of the second roll, wherein the outer radial surface of the second roll moves relative to the abrasive surface.

A rotary cutting apparatus comprising:

• a frame;
• a cutting member rotatably connected with the frame and configured to rotate about a first longitudinal axis;
• a bearer ring connected with the cutting member;
• an anvil roll defining a second longitudinal axis and comprising an outer radial surface, wherein the anvil roll is rotatably connected with the frame and is configured to rotate about the second longitudinal axis, the anvil roll positioned relative to the cutting member such that the bearer ring is in contact with the outer radial surface and such that the first longitudinal axis is substantially parallel with the second longitudinal axis;
• and
• a reconditioning member comprising an abrasive surface engaged with the outer Radial surface of the anvil roll, wherein the outer radial surface of the anvil roll moves relative to the abrasive surface.
