Abstract
Roller profiling machine includes several forming stations which progressively shape a given material until obtaining a pre-designed profile with a section variable along the length of the profile. Each forming station is placed over a head (2) that includes a first device arranged for a translation movement, horizontal and perpendicular to the direction in which the profile is advanced; and a second device arranged for a rotation movement; wherein, the head (2) is also inclined in a certain angle (α) with respect to the horizontal; the angle being configured to avoid a collision between the forming material and the rollers.
Claims9
Roller profiling machine comprising a plurality of forming stations progressively shaping a material until obtaining a pre-designed profile with a variable section along a whole length of the material;
- wherein each forming station is in turn placed over a head, the head comprising:
- first means arranged for a translation movement that is horizontal and perpendicular to a direction in which the profile is advanced, and
- second means arranged for a rotation movement,
- wherein said head is also inclined in an angle with respect to the horizontal;
- at least one horizontal wheel installed in a side structure facing the forming stations configured to support the forming material that protrudes from a roller line and to record the movement and circulation speed of the forming material, said movement being synchronized and transmitted to a gauging media,
- wherein the information from the gauging media and from the first and second movement means is received by control media set to calculate the position of each head during the whole profiling process and to command positions for each one of said means.
