  • Publication number: 20160221093
    Abstract: A cut-off machine comprising: an electric motor (2) arranged for rotatingly driving a cutting tool (10); a transmission (4) which is so structured as to transmit the rotary motion of the motor (2) to the cutting tool; a control module comprising an inverter, designed to allow adjustment of the rotational speed of the motor (2). The motor (2) is so structured as to impart, to the cutting tool, a first rotational speed suitable for performing a heating and friction-based cutoff of the material to be cut; the transmission (4) is provided with an at least two-speeds gearbox, which is so configured as to vary the speed transmitted to the tool between the first speed and second speed, the latter being lower than the first speed and suitable for performing a material removal cutoff (slow-speed saw cutoff).

  • Publication number: 20150082954
    Abstract: A method for cutting manufactured articles (M) comprises steps of advancing a manufactured article (M) along an advancement direction (A) at a predetermined speed; predisposing a cutting device (3) associated with the manufactured article (M) and movable along the advancement direction (A); advancing the cutting device (3); synchronizing the speed of advancement of the cutting device (3) with the speed of advancement of the manufactured article (M); activating the cutting device (3); retracting the cutting device (3); the steps of synchronising and activating the cutting device (3) are comprised between the advancement step and a corresponding retracting step in order to define a cutting cycle of the manufactured article (M). The cutting cycle comprises further steps of re-synchronising the speed of advancement of the cutting device (3) with the speed of advancement of the manufactured article (M).

  • Patent number: 7490391
    Abstract: The bead trimmer is preferably applied in a production line for elements having longitudinal weld beads (21), where an element slides along a parallel direction to a longitudinal axis thereof (x), and comprises a tool-bearing turret (2) for removable fixing of a trimming tool (30), associated to a first slide (3) which is slidable along a horizontal direction (y) which is transversal with respect to the longitudinal axis (x) between an internal position, in which the tool (30) is aligned with the weld bead (21), and an external position, in which the tool (30) is not aligned with the weld bead (21). The first slide (3) is associated to a second slide (4) which is vertically slidable on a bearing structure (40) along a vertical direction (z) between a lowered position, in which the tool (30) is in contact with the weld bead (21), and a raised position, in which the tool (30) is distanced from the weld bead (21).

  • Publication number: 20040187665
    Abstract: The machine comprises: a conveyor system for continuous supply of a tube at a constant velocity and in a longitudinal direction of the tube; a cutting slide which bears a shearing device predisposed to section the tube transversally and in successive tracts thereof; elements for activating which impose a linear alternating motion on the cutting slide without stopping, between an initial position and a final position along a parallel direction with respect to the longitudinal direction. The motion comprises an outward run, at least a tract of which occurs in synchrony with an advancement of the tube and during which the tube is sectioned, and a return run, following which the cutting slide is brought back to the initial position. Both the outward return runs comprise an acceleration tract, a constant velocity tract and a deceleration tract.

  • Patent number: 4939919
    Abstract: The roll forming machine consists in a succession of stands (1), each carrying at least two parallel forming rolls (12, 13) carried by shafts (48, 49) journaled on either side to a pair of uprights (16, 17) anchored permanently to a base (2) that can be clamped to and separated from the fixed bed (3) of the machine; the rolls (12, 13) of each stand are driven by way of respective p.t.o. shafts (32, 33) mounted to a further fixed upright (27) and carried in journal blocks (34, 35) of which at least one associates with the upright on a floating fit that will allow a margin of transverse movement in relation to the axis of rotation. Self-aligning couplings (38, 39) are used to connect the roll shafts (48, 49) with the p.t.o. shafts (32, 33).
