AUTOMATED PACKAGING LINE FOR C- AND U-SHAPED PROFILES.

摘要

An automated packaging line (100) for C- or U-shaped profiles (107, 500, 502) is described. The example packaging line includes a first blade (400) and a second blade (402) that are rotatable around a horizontal axis in a first vertical plane and a third blade (204) and a fourth blade (206) that rotatable about the horizontal axis in a second vertical plane that is parallel to and offset from the first vertical plane. The first blade (400) and the third blade (204) are synchronously rotatable around the horizontal axis and the second blade (402) and the fourth blade (206) are synchronously rotatable about the horizontal axis. The first blade (400) and the third blade (204) are to receive a first profile (500) having a c-shaped cross-section or a u-shaped cross-section and the first blade (400) and the third blade (204) are to rotate a second profile (502) having a c-shaped cross-section or a u-shaped cross-section over the first profile (500) such that the first profile (500) is posit ioned in a first orientation and the second profile (502) positioned in a second orientation opposite the first orientation to form a duplex (700) disposed in the first (400) and third (204) blades.
