Rig for producing continuous strips of wood - has magazine feed for end grooved strips and servo drive to link strips

摘要

The strips of wood are held in a magazine, with each end of the magazine grooved and with adhesive applied. A gravity feed drops each strip in turn onto a roller feed where the strips are moved by a friction chain drive (10) into contact and to a cutting position where the required lengths are measured by a measuring wheel (18) and cut. The cut lengths are pressed by the ends to secure the strips. The machine operates automatically the magazine loading. The chain drive has a drive wheel (13) and two pressure wheels (14) to move the strips and with photocells (20) to monitor the strip movement. ADVANTAGE - Automatic process, simple control.
