<p>A rotary on-the-fly tooling system including: opposed and synchronised counter-rotating tool assemblies (12, 14) for receiving a workpiece (10) having a direction of travel therebetween during a tooling operation: each counter-rotating tool assembly including (a) at least two co-rotating crank arms (16, 18) of equal length, each crank arm having proximal and distal ends, the proximal ends rotating about a pair of crank axes spaced from, and spaced along, the direction of travel of the workpiece, and (b) a tool mounting portion (24), the distal ends of the crank arms being pivotably mounted to the tool mounting portion at locations spaced along the direction of travel of the workpiece such that the tool mounting portion remains in the same orientation relative to the direction of travel of the workpiece at least during the tooling operation.</p> |
