ADJUSTABLE MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT FOR WEB-LIKE MATERIAL

摘要

The invention relates to manufacturing equipment for web-like material comprising an adjustable body. In the body (1), there is solid adaptive material, the dimensions of which can be changed by means of a field (4), such as a magnetic or an electric field. The material can be, for example, strictive, such as magnetostrictive, electrostrictive or piezoelectric, or rheological, such as magnetorheological or electrorheological material. The body can be, for example, in a blade fitting assembly, nozzle fitting assembly, supporting structure, rotary structure or crimp connection.
