Continuous throughput machine for edge polishing of plate-like workpieces - has engagement of polishing mop with work controlled by contact wheel riding on work surface

摘要

The machine for polishing the edges of profiled and platelike workpieces in a continuous passage of the work through the machine has a flexible rotating mop or roll (2) whose position in relation to the work is controlled by a contact wheel (3) riding on the work surface. The polishing mop and contact wheel are both mounted on a common pivoted bracket (4), the contact wheel position relative to the polishing wheel dia. being steplessly adjustable. Thus the depth of engagement of the mop with the work can be maintained by adjustment of the contact wheel as the mop becomes worn. Polishing wheel units are set up in combination to cover the full edge profile of the work. ADVANTAGE - Full utilisation of polishing tool.
