Abstract:
A system comprising a mandrel, a winding device for helically winding strips around the mandrel to form a base tube moving away from the mandrel at a tube speed, a strip suppling device for supplying the strips to the winding device, and a cutting device for cutting the base tube at a predetermined length to form the lengths of tube while the base tube is moving in a tube direction at the tube speed, and a method.
Abstract:
A machine is shown having a winding unit (3) and a cutting unit (7) to cut a tube (T) being formed around a mandrel (5). The cutting unit (7) has a rotating cutting blade (9) provided with motion along a circular trajectory, defined by means of a system of cross guides and a fastening to a center of a circular trajectory. The position of the center (33B) of the circular trajectory of the rotating cutting blade (9) is changed according to the direction of movement of the blade with respect to the mandrel, so that the rotating cutting blade (9) cuts the tube (T) during a forward movement and is released form the tube during a backward movement. Methods for production of tubes by means of helical winding of one or more strips of web material around a mandrel are shown as well.
Abstract:
Method for producing cardboard tubes by winding a plurality of ribbons (U, L) onto a spindle (1), a preset number of the ribbons (U, L) being glued in correspondence of the lower or radial inner surface thereof, characterized in that a predetermined amount of supplementary quick setting glue is applied on the lower surface of the last ribbon (U) destined to be wound on the spindle (1), in proximity to at least a longitudinal edge (BU) of the ribbon (U) forming a corresponding stripe of quick setting glue (G) astride of a section (ST) of the same ribbon interested or intersected by a subsequent cutting action executed downstream of the spindle (1).
Abstract:
A tube positioning apparatus has at least one mandrel for positioning tubes for processing. A variable tube positioning stroke length is facilitated for optimizing stroke length and for optimizing the time required to position and process tube, such as by cutting. The tube positioning apparatus comprises a slide block having a mandrel attached thereto. The slide block is actuated on a plurality of slide rails from a first position to a second position. In the first position, the mandrel is retracted and in a second position the mandrel is extended for access by processing tools, such as circular knives for cutting the tube into desired lengths. A programmable sequence timer is provided for establishing desired time intervals during which the slide block and attached mandrel are in the retracted position or the extended position. In a tube recutter implementation, the programmable timer facilitates selectable time intervals for maintaining the slide block and mandrel in an extended state, engaging cutting means such as circular knives, disengaging the cutting means, and retracting the mandrel from the extended position.
Abstract:
The machine includes a spindle; a winding unit, cooperating with the spindle to wind one or more strips of web material about the spindle and form a tubular element; and a cutting unit with at least one discoidal cutting tool to divide the tubular element into tubes of a length which can be predetermined. At least one pressure element is associated with the cutting tool to compress the tubular element between the spindle and the pressure element adjacent to the cut performed by the cutting tool.
Abstract:
The machine for producing tubes includes a winding spindle around which strips of weblike material are wound to form the tube, which is made to advance along the spindle; a device for supply and winding of the strips around the spindle, and at least one knife for cutting lengths of the tube being formed. The knife is provided with a reciprocating movement parallel to the spindle. There is moreover envisaged a counter-knife within the tube being formed, provided with a movement of translation synchronized to the movement of translation of the knife. The counter-knife is magnetically constrained to a mover member, which transmits the motion to the counter-knife.
Abstract:
A machine for producing a tubular product by helical winding of strips of web material including a mandrel and a winding member to helically wind the strips of web material around the mandrel is disclosed. To improve adhesion between the strips, at least one pressure member is provided, cooperating with the mandrel, disposed downstream or upstream of the winding member with respect to the direction of advance of the tubular product being formed on the mandrel. The pressure exerted by the pressure member promotes adhesion of the strips forming the product.
Abstract:
A machine for producing tubes by winding into a spiral two or more overlapping and staggered strips of a ribbon-shaped material on a spindle, having a winding unit which winds into a spiral two or more overlapping and staggered strips of a ribbon-shaped material on the spindle and causes the tube formed from the material to advance continuously, and a cutting unit fitted with rotating tube cutters and provided with a reciprocating motion along the direction of advance of the tube to cut the tube into sections of predetermined length during the advance of the tube. The cutting unit is associated with members for driving the rotating cutters, which impart to the rotating cutters a rotary motion derived from the reciprocating motion of the cutting unit.
