MACHINE FOR CONNECTING METAL PROFILES WITH PLASTIC STRIPS

摘要

A machine for connecting elongate metal profiles with plastic strips includes an elongate support table for supporting a pair of the profiles to be connected and a horizontal elongate support beam extending along one side of this table. A support carriage is mounted for movement along the length of the beam. There is a drive system for moving the support carriage horizontally on the beam. The machine includes top and bottom tool heads each mounted on the carriage for vertical movement thereon. The top tool head is arranged above the table and the bottom tool head below the table. Further drive systems are able to move the tool heads vertically on the -carriage. Strip pullers are provided on the carriage to engage and hold end sections of two plastic strips so that they can be pulled between the two profiles. Clamping rollers are mounted on the tool heads for engaging longitudinal connecting flanges extending along the profiles in order to connect the plastic strips.
