Abstract: A centerless grinding apparatus (10) includes an outer diameter surface grinding wheel (11) for grinding the outer diameter surface of a work (1) of a substantially cylindrical shape, a regulating wheel (12) for supporting the outer diameter surface of the work (1) in conjunction with the outer diameter surface grinding wheel (11) and an end surface grinding wheel (21) for grinding the end surface of the work (1). The end surface grinding wheel (21) grinds the end surface of the work (1) while the outer diameter surface grinding wheel (11) grinds the outer diameter surface of the work (1) in a state that the work (1) is disposed between the outer diameter surface grinding wheel (11) and the regulating wheel (12).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing of planar rigid materials is provided whereby the edges of separate materials can be processed simultaneously, quickly and efficiently. Separate planar materials are moved in position and are clamped in place in horizontal alignment. Thereafter a grinding wheel moves between the opposing edges of the planar materials to abrade the leading edge of one of the materials and the trailing edge of the second opposing material. The process describes abrading both the longitudinal and lateral edges of rectangular shaped materials moved along conveyors, such planar materials being glass, ceramic, stone or the like.

Abstract: A V-ribbed belt B has bottom and back faces each provided with a plurality of ribs 3, 4 of approximately trapezoidal section which extend in parallel with each other along the belt length. In order to suppressing a discrepancy between respective speed ratios of revolution transmitted from one pulley to the other in normal and reversed positions of the belt B, the belt B is adapted to have a difference of 2 mm or less between a bottom-face-side belt length when the bottom-face-side ribs 3 of the belt B are faced on an inner peripheral side thereof and a back-face-side belt length when the back-face-side ribs 4 of the belt B are faced on the inner peripheral side thereof. The center of a cord 2 embedded inside of the belt B is thereby positioned substantially in the middle of the belt thickness so that the cord 2 has equal distances from both the bottom face and back face of the belt B even if the belt B is in either position.

Abstract: A working apparatus of a magnet member comprises: a transfer path for guiding magnet members to be ground in one direction; transfer means for pushing the plurality of magnet members in a transfer direction to continuously send out the magnet members to the transfer path; a pair of grinding means disposed such as to sandwich the transfer path for grinding opposite surfaces of the transferred magnet member; and pushing means disposed downstream from the grinding means for pushing the magnet member in a direction opposite from the transfer direction. With this structure, it is possible to work the magnet member into a predetermined shape with excellent productivity.

Abstract: A method of producing a double-sided belt structure from an endless body having a length, a first surface, a second surface, at least one load carrying cord embedded in the body with a lengthwise center and extending along the length of the body between the first and second surfaces of the body, and a thickness between the first and second surfaces of the body.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for producing raw edge belts. Plural square-cut ring-shaped belts are suspended across a main spindle roller and a tension roller, and while the belts are made to run circularly, the belts are ground into V-section belts to produce raw edge belts. The ring-shaped belts are roughly ground on the main spindle roller section into belts of an almost V-form section by a rough grindstone having V-forms in its peripheral. The roughly-ground ring-shaped belts are thereafter subjected to finish polishing with a finish grindstone.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved method of forming a series of hills and valleys alternately arranged at a predetermined pitch on the surface of a given workpiece. It comprises the steps of: carrying out a first grinding on the workpiece with a saw-toothed grindstone having a series of hills and valleys alternately arranged at “N” pitches (“N” being two or more integer or whole number), the height measured from the bottom of the valley to the peak of the hill in the saw-toothed grindstone being taller than the corresponding height in the workpiece; moving the saw-toothed grindstone and/or the workpiece one pitch relative to each other to carry out a second grinding on the workpiece; and repeating the relative movement of one-pitch long-distance and sequential grinding until the final “N”th grinding has been finished. All grindings are effected while the workpiece is being cooled by cooling water.

Abstract: A sander includes two sander wheels of different sanding devices are rotatable secured on top of a frame. A work table is slidably disposed in the frame for supporting work pieces and for moving the work pieces toward the sander wheels. A pair of rollers are rotatable supported beside the sander wheels for feeding the work pieces passing through the sander wheels. A motor is coupled to the sander wheels and the rollers for driving the sander wheels and the rollers simultaneously. A reduction gearing is coupled to the rollers to drive the rollers in a reduced speed.

Abstract: A belt edge burnishing machine for burnishing the edges of a plurality of belts simultaneously. The belt edge burnishing machine comprises a conveyor and at least one buffing wheel positioned above the conveyor which is rotated about an axis parallel to the ground and to the conveyor. The belts are stacked on an edges finish board with the unfinished edges facing up. The edge finish board is placed on the conveyor which conveys the plurality of belts through the burnishing machine. As the belts pass beneath the rotating buffing wheel, the buffing wheel contacts all of the exposed unfinished edges, thus buffing the edges smooth.

Abstract: An edge grinding device for rounding off edges of members which are passed through the grinding device. The device includes a main frame for supporting the structural member, and a grinding aggregate which is pivotably mounted on the frame about an axis running substantially parallel to the directional motion of the member, the grinding aggregate having a grinding element which has a convex grinding surface, wherein the grinding aggregate pivots the convex grinding surface about the edge which is to be round while the member is moving through the device.

Abstract: A surface finishing apparatus for in-line outer surface finishing of elongate cylindrical tubing. The tubing, such as tubing, is fed onto an elongate mandrel and through the finishing apparatus from an infeed to an outfeed position and rotated on the mandrel on its longitudinal axis. The outer surface of the tubing is finish treated as the tubing is fed through the apparatus while being supported on the mandrel. The finishing apparatus includes a rotatable finishing wheel having a finish-treating peripheral surface for being applied in an in-line orientation against the outer surface of the tubing as the tubing is simultaneously fed and rotated through the finishing apparatus. The wheel is mounted on an axis of rotation which is variable within a predetermined range of motion from one side to the other of the longitudinal axis of the tubing and oscillates back and forth within the predetermined range of motion while in continuous contact with the tubing.

The apparatus has first and second supports on which the belt/belt sleeve can be mounted for movement in an endless path. First structure is provided on at least one of the first and second supports for reinforcing a belt/belt sleeve, mounted on the first and second supports, against movement and deformation of the belt/belt sleeve relative to the at least one of the first and second supports transversely to the endless path as the belt/belt sleeve moves in the endless path.

Abstract: A sander includes a work table for supporting a work piece and having a frame secured on one end. A housing has one end slidably engaged in the frame and movable upward and downward toward the work table. A motor is secured to the housing and has a spindle extended inward of the housing. A sander member is secured to the spindle so as to be driven by the motor with a greater speed for grinding the work piece. One or more rollers are rotatably coupled to the spindle by a reduction gearing so as to move the work piece with the reduced speed.
