Patent number: 11897211Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for automatic extrudate loading and alignment. An extrudate handling system includes a head end assembly and an imaging device (which may be part of the head end assembly). The imaging device is configured to image an end face of an extrudate, and generate, during translation of the extrudate, an imaging output signal indicative of a rotational position of the end face of the extrudate. The head end assembly includes a rotational effector to rotate the extrudate during translation thereof and a fixed effector rotationally fixed relative to a track. The extrudate handling system is able to determine the rotational position of the web angle of the extrudate and precisely adjust the rotational position while linearly translating the extrudate along the track. The extrudate handling system provides greater accuracy, reduced costs, and improved results.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2020Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Colby William Audinwood, Brian Stephen Banks, Stephen Andrew Campbell, John Christian Duroe, Dustin Andrew Jochum, Anthony Nicholas Rodbourn, Gary Yaw
