Storage and feed mechanism for rod material on notching machine - has several stacked inclined surfaces with adjustable side walls forming magazine

摘要

The invention concerns a storage- and feed mechanism for round rod material for notching machines. The mechanism is attached to the notching machine and operates as follows: When the notching machine is started up the ram (42) lifts the plunger (32) against the force of spring (40) and hereby, by intermediary of stub (18) guided in slot (16), the lever (17). As a result rail (15) is also lifted, increasing the passage between rails (15) and (19) is increased allowing motion of rods towards the guide slot (24) where the rods may enter only one by one. The lowermost rod is positioned by jaws (29) and the machining process starts. At the same time a mechanism on the notching machine returns the plunger (32) to its original position and the sequence is repeated when the machining of the rod is completed. ADVANTAGE - The design, in comparison with previous design does not need its own drive and supplying several machines from one feed mechanism is possible.
