Abstract
An apparatus for cutting a roll-formed product of a roll-forming unit having at least a roll-forming machine comprises a cutter mechanism arranged backward of the roll-forming machine, for cutting the roll-formed product sent out from the roll-forming machine into a predetermined cut length. Also provided is a feed roller which is rotated at a predetermined rotational speed, for sending out a formed product cut by the cutter mechanism backward.
Claims8
An apparatus for cutting a roll-formed product of a roll-forming unit (1) having at least a roll-forming machine (2), comprising:
- a cutter mechanism (20) arranged backward of the roll-forming machine (2), for cutting the roll-formed product (5A) sent out from the roll-forming machine (2) into a predetermined cut length;
- and
- a feed roller (21) being rotated at a predetermined rotational speed, for sending out a formed product (5B) cut by said cutter mechanism (20) backward.
In a system for manufacturing a heat exchanger tube, an apparatus for cutting a roll-formed product of a roll-forming unit (1) having at least a roll-forming machine (2) roll-forming a strip material into a predetermined shape to produce the roll-formed product, and a drier (3) removing fatty material adhered onto the roll-formed product to produce a roll-formed, degreased product (5A), the apparatus comprising in combination:
- a cutter mechanism (20) arranged backward of the drier (2), for cutting the roll-formed, degreased product (5A) sent out via the roll-forming machine (2) from the drier (2) into a predetermined cut length;
- a feed roller (21) being rotated at a predetermined rotational speed, for sending out a roll-formed, degreased product (5B) cut by said cutter mechanism (20) backward;
- and
- a sensor (40) provided backward of said cutter mechanism (20) for detecting a passing state of the roll-formed, degreased product (5B) cut by said cutter mechanism (20), so that an introduction timing of the roll-formed, degreased product (5A) into said apparatus and a cutting timing of the roll-formed, degreased product (5A) are adjusted by the passing state detected by said sensor.
