Abstract: An electro/mechanical feedback system and method for displaying the positional and sizing information relative to the hole size formed by closed stripping blades of a wire stripping machine. The feedback system includes a pair of rotary optical encoders that are tied to the respective blade tool holders via adjusting screws. The adjusting screws provide infinite adjustment resolution. Turning the adjusting screws opens or closes the blades. The encoders convert the adjusting screw rotational information into blade translatory information, which is displayed. The displayed information represents positional information of each of the blades as well as the actual diameter of the cutting hole formed by the closed blades at a true zero position. The adjusting screw includes a torque head that limits adjusting screw torque to a predetermined amount. The present invention includes a positive stop used as a home position for each blade. Translating the blade tool holders against the positive stops and slipping the torque heads of the adjusting screws assures accurate home positions for calibrating the feedback system.

Abstract: A method of making an oil seal (10) having two separate annular lips (62, 64) formed by splitting a single lip liner blank (12). The lip liner blank is an annular wafer having an annular groove (14) formed on one side (15) of the wafer at the point on the wafer where the wafer is intended to be split into two annular pieces (49, 50). A mold (32) is loaded with the lip liner blank (12), a prep ring of elastomeric material (43) and a seal case (44) and then closed thereby clamping the prep ring and wafer between upper and lower dies (40 and 36) of the mold. In the molding step the prep ring and wafer are heated and compressed causing the prep ring to become molten as it flows over the wafer. The molten elastomeric material enters the groove and pressure exerted by the elastomeric material against the groove splits the wafer into two annular pieces (49, 50). A first annular piece (49) is displaced in the mold to the desired location of the excluder lip (64). A second annular piece of the wafer lines the main lip (62) of the oil seal (10).

Abstract: An improved premixed gaseous fuel burner for a metal processing furnace includes an axially adjustable gas supply tube concentrically positioned within the burner body for delivering a flow of oxidant or other gaseous fuel component to the combustion chamber of the furnace. Axial repositioning of the air tube controls the spread of oxidant at the core of the flame, thereby controlling flame temperature and the operating environment of the combustion chamber and furnace. A flow mixer having a pair of helically arranged vanes provided in the annular space between the supply tube and the burner body imparts turbulent swirl to the premixture flow to cause enhanced mixing of the premixture. The gas supply tube is externally adjustable and includes a peep sight for externally viewing the flame in the furnace.

Abstract: A wire prefeeder has a tower standing on a base. A horizontal upper shaft is mounted fixedly to the upper end of the tower and a plurality of pulleys are on the shaft. A carriage is adapted to in the tower and another horizontal lower shaft which has a plurality of pulleys and is mounted to the carriage in parallelism with the upper shaft. A wire infeed device is driven with an electric motor. Wire feeds to a dancer pulley after which it is looped around the upper and lower pulleys in succession and departs tangentially from a pulley on its way to a wire processing machine which draws the wire. The carriage rises when there is an instantaneous increase in wire tension and an electric signal is produced whose magnitude corresponds to the amount of carriage movement. The motor responds to the signal by changing the motor and wire infeed speed to pay out wire at a rate which keeps the tension in the drawn wire constant. A new type of clamp is provided for coupling a wire reel to a shaft. A unique retainer is provided for preventing the wire from springing off of the pulleys.

Abstract: A pair of tooling assemblies cooperate to cut and strip insulation from an insulated electrical conductor. The first tooling assembly comprises a die type stripping blade and an insulation guide. The first stripping blade has a cutting edge located a predetermined distance from a guide face on the insulation guide. The second tooling assembly comprises a second die type stripping blade and an insulation stop. The second stripping blade has a cutting edge complementary with the first stripping blade cutting edge. The insulation stop has a stop face that is located a predetermined distance from the second stripping blade cutting edge. The two tooling assemblies are aligned in a coplanar plane and clamped in respective toolholders. When the toolholders are brought together, the stripping blade cutting edges cooperate to slice the insulation on the electrical conductor, and the insulation guide face and the insulation stop face cooperate to hold the insulation of the electrical conductor adjacent the slice in the insulation.

Abstract: An improved blade for cutting and stripping insulation from insulated electrical conductors has a cutting edge with a circular cross-section when viewed in the direction parallel to the axis of the insulated conductor to be stripped instead of the elliptical cutting edge of conventional blades. The blade is manufactured by feeding a manufacturing tool through a blank so as to generate a curved surface having a longitudinal axis connecting the blank faces at an angle thereto. The curved surface has an elliptical contour when viewed along the axis.

Abstract: A machine with separate motion on two axes for toroidal polishing and gring of mirrors. The axes are at 90.degree. to each other and the amplitude of motion in each direction is independently adjustable. A portion of this machine can be modified to serve as an adapter unit that fits on standard polishing machines and can be removed leaving the standard machines able to function in the normal way. A gimbal assembly and stablizer bar are used to prevent twisting between a lens and a polishing surface.
