Abstract:
A method for automatically cutting a workpiece comprising the steps of moving a workpiece (104) along its longitudinal axis, positioning a cutting blade (202) by rotating the blade about a vertical axis, positioning the cutting blade by rotating about a bevel axis, and moving the blade into cutting contact with the workpiece, thereby cutting the workpiece at a compound angle. The method may also comprises positioning the blade along a transverse axis. Further steps may include moving the cutting blade along a transverse axis simultaneous to moving the workpiece along its longitudinal axis, thereby creating a scarf cut; sorting a finished workpiece; and marking the workpieces.

Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method and an apparatus for making mineral fibre products by splitting an incoming primary web, said apparatus comprising a feeding conveyor for providing an incoming primary web of air-laid mineral wool, said feeding conveyor having a first direction of travel; a station for shifting the direction of travel of the primary web by receiving the primary web on a turning table and then transferring the primary web onto a receiving conveyor, where said receiving conveyor has a second direction of travel different to the first direction of travel; wherein a web splitter is provided at the downstream end of said receiving conveyor for dividing the incoming primary web into a first primary web and second primary web and wherein the turning table is shiftable in the first direction of travel.
Abstract:
A sheet diverter apparatus diverts sheets into alternate paths by guiding the leading portion of each sheet through a gap (23) in a horizontal conveyor into alternate diverter belt conveyor units (11, 12) where the sheet is firmly grasped for transfer. The one conveyor unit (11) is a horizontal unit having a top belt conveyor (20) and a bottom belt conveyor (22), one of which is offset downstream to form a diverting gap (23). A diverter (15) is located to successively rotate through the gap (23) and divert the alternate sheet into the angulated conveyor unit (12). The linear or surface speed of the diverter cam (15) is greater than the linear speed of the sheet. The cam surface (16a) is constructed with a low friction surface such as provided by a low friction plastic coating (44). An air cushion (45) may be created between the cam face of the diverter (30) and the sheet.
Abstract:
A method for optimizing yield from a slicing apparatus, includes scanning and weighing a carcass, slab or loaf upstream of a slicing head of the slicing apparatus. The carcass, slab or loaf weight is divided by a desired pre-selected portion weight to determine the number of slices to be made. A remainder portion is allocated to an intermediate position along. the carcass, slab or loaf to be sliced from the carcass, slab or loaf before a butt end portion, gripped by a gripper of the slicing apparatus, reaches the slicing head. The butt end portion is pre-arranged to be the desired pre-selected portion weight or at least an acceptable pre-selected portion weight. The butt end portion can then be released by the gripper as a desired or acceptable weight portion.
Abstract:
Es wird ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von gewebten, insbesondere wenigstens teilweise mehrlagigen, Airbags vorgeschlagen, das folgende Verfahrenschritte enthält: a) Vorbereiten der Kettfäden in der Schärerei, wobei als Kennfäden geeignete Kettfäden für maschinenlesbare Markierungen bereits in der Kettschar untergebracht werden, b) Weben des Airbaggewebes, wobei als Kennfäden geeignete Schussfädden für maschinenlesbare Markiergungen über wenigstens einen Teil der Tuchbreite eingewebt werden, c) Ausschneiden der Airbags aus dem Airbaggewebe mit einer Schneidvorrichtung, wobei die Schneidvorrichtung von den eingewebten maschinenlesbaren Markierungen geführt wird.

Bei einem Verfahren zum Einziehen einer Materialbahn (33, 34, 36, 37) wird das seitlich über die Seitenkante (42) der Materialbahn ragende Teil (59) der Spitze (41) mittels einer Längsschneideeinrichtung (21) zumindest einmallängs-getrennt. Dazu eine Einrichtung.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for separating strips (S1 - S12), especially metal strips, conveyed in said device side by side in their longitudinal direction. The inventive device comprises at least one separation unit (N) that extends in one axial direction (X) in which one guide element each (F10 F25) is correlated with respective strips (S1 S12). Said guide element guides the strip (S1 S12) that is disposed therein in a form fit in a plane (E1, E2) that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis (L) of the separation unit (N) and that is different from every plane of the guide elements (F10 F25) that are disposed adjacent to it. The inventive separation device has a simple design and allows separation of the strips in a reliable and time-saving manner. The invention further relates to advantageous uses of such a device.
