Feeder for rollable workpieces - has blades on feed and discharge ends to tilt workpieces from upright to horizontal position

摘要

The mechanism has rollable workpieces fed via an inclined feed trough to the table where they undergo machining operations and are then discharged via another inclined trough. The table is fitted on the feed side with a tilting blade which tilts the workpiece from its vertical position as it arrives through the feed trough, into a horizontal position in which it is machined. After completed machining the blade on the discharge side tilts the workpiece from the horizontal position into a vertical position and it leaves the table via a discharge trough. The blades are operated by a hydraulically controlled positioning piston.
