Abstract
This invention relates to methods and systems for attaching components to strips of material to form assemblies, e.g., a system for fastening pre-sharpened razor blades to individual support strips on a continuous band of material, such as a metal, to form discrete blade assemblies.
Claims13
A system for attaching supports to razor blades to form razor blade assemblies (71), the system comprising
- (a) a supply station that dispenses a long band of metal;
- and
- (b) a press station that comprises
- (i) a die module that cuts individual razor blade supports from the band of metal, wherein the individual supports remain connected to the band of metal by one or more uncut portions;
- (ii) a receiving module that feeds a series of razor blade components into the press station and associates a single razor blade component with each individual support in the band of metal;
- and
- (iii) a welding module that welds one razor blade component to each individual support in the band of metal.
