Supply device for supplying rubber material (11) to a cutting device (3). In the direction away from the cutting device the supply device contains a supplying table (3) having a supplying mechanism (4), an unwinding trestle (7) containing a stock of rubber material, a space between the unwinding trestle (7) and the supplying table (3), which space is suitable for taking up a loop of rubber material forming a stock buffer. Between the unwinding trestle (7) and the supplying table (3), preferably at a distance above the supplying table, a first conveyor (5) having a drive is placed. Preferably at a distance above the unwinding trestle a second conveyor (8) having a drive is placed, in which the space for taking up the loop of rubber material is formed between the second (8) and the first (5) conveyor.
Supply device for supplying rubber material to a cutting device, which supply device towards the cutting device is provided with:
Supply device according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the first conveyor is provided with means for centring the rubber material.
Supply device according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the first conveyor is provided with means for positioning a side of the rubber material.
Supply device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the supplying mechanism of the supplying table and the drive of the first conveyor operate synchronously during a supplying movement of the rubber material in the direction of the cutting device.
Supply device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a revolving roller is placed above the supplying table near the location where the rubber material arrives on the supplying table.
Supply device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that means for centring rubber material are placed between the supplying table and the first conveyor.
Supply device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that means for positioning a side of the rubber material are placed between the supplying table and the first conveyor.
Supply device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the supplying table has a number of parallel conveyor belts, driven by one central drive.
Supply device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the supplying table is provided with means for generating a vacuum and/or a magnetic field.
Supply device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the first conveyor is provided with first means for an almost slip-free retaining and transport of the strip on the first conveyor.
Supply device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the first conveyor is provided with first means for retaining the strip on the transport surface of the first conveyor.
Supply device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the rubber material is a strip reinforced with cords, preferably made of steel, textile or aramide.
