Abstract:
A slotting tool to slot a workpiece and cut off a slotted scrap from the workpiece comprising a punch having a toe portion and a heel portion located higher than the toe portion and a slotting portion located between the toe portion and the heel portion; a die having a starting blade to punch out a tip portion of the slotted scrap from the workpiece by cooperating with the toe portion to shear the workpiece; side blades to slot the workpiece by cooperating with the slotting portion to slot the workpiece; a terminating blade to cut off the slotted scrap by cooperating with the heel portion; a scrap cutting blade mounted to the die, the scrap cutting blade located below the starting blade for cooperating with the toe portion to cut off a tip portion of the slotted scrap; and a scrap path formed in the die, the scrap path locating under the starting blade to receive the tip portion of the slotted scrap.
Abstract:
Compact shearing machine (10) with scrap shears which comprises a shears means (15) that cuts to size, a scrap shears means (17), a deviator means (12) to deviate rolled products (33) and a motor means (19), the scrap shears means (17) being positioned immediately downstream from the shears means (15) that cuts to size, in the direction of sliding of the rolled products (33).
Abstract:
There is disclosed a board cutting machine in which a plurality of grooves are cut in a board such as a board of insulating duct material to permit the board to be folded into a multi-sided shape. As strips are cut from the board an extractor unit extracts the scrap strips and directs them to a chopping unit where the scrap is chopped into small pieces.
Abstract:
Printed circuit boards are moved in a conveyor with the underside of flat boards spaced a prescribed distance above the top surface of a rotating cutting disk. In order to protect the circuit patterns on the underside of the board and the board itself, a V-shaped wheel is loosely rotatably supported on a shaft with the wheel being in front of and orthogonal to the cutting disk. The height of the wheel is adjusted such that the uppermost point on the circumference thereof is in the line of travel of the boards. Movement of a board that is bowed downward in the direction of the disk causes the wheel to roll on the underside of the board and to raise the board above the top of the cutting disk. In this manner, the underside of warped circuit boards is maintained at least a prescribed distance above the top surface of the cutting disk as the board moves over the leading - cutting edge of the latter and component leads are trimmed thereby. Weak compression springs on either side of the wheel allow it to move sideways when it contacts a component lead. The spacing between the wheel and the front edge of the cutting disk is also adjustable.
Abstract:
In realizing the present method a ring-shaped tool is used with the cutting edge formed at the intersection of its inner and end surfaces, said tool is slipped over an article to be machined and positioned at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the article, the angle being selected depending on the curvature of the work surface, and then the cutting tool and the product are given a relative motion to provide for the interaction of the tool and the surface of the article being machined, such that the article moves only progressively, while the cutting tool is only rotating. In an installation for removing production-caused excess metal from curved surfaces of long-sized articles by the present method, the tool is ring-shaped with the cutting edge at the intersection of its inner and end surfaces, means for fixing the cutting tool comprises a holder rotating together with the tool around the article in the course of machining and provided with devices for inclining the holder in relation to the longitudinal axis of the article and for fixing it in the inclined position, while the holder with the cutting tool accommodates a support for positive pressing of the article against the cutting edge of the tool, and means for relative displacement of the cutting tool and the article is represented by a device imparting to the tool and the article such relative motion that the article moves only progressively, while the cutting tool is only rotating.
Abstract:
Cutting apparatus including tandemly mounted first and second pairs of juxtaposed knives, each pair of said knives being disposed for passage therebetween of material to be cut, means for urging said first pair of knives against said material when disposed therebetween to score said material, means for mounting said second pair of knives in alignment with the scoring produced by said first pair of knives, and means for urging said second pair of knives toward one another for parting said material at said scoring when said material is disposed between said knives.
