Abstract
According to embodiments of the invention, apparatuses and methods are provided for measuring and cutting elongated objects such as pipes, steel beams, etc. The apparatus may employ a precisely calibrated wheel for measuring length of a generally straight, elongated object by translation of rotational distance along an outer circumference thereof. The apparatus may further employ a lift slider, a scale, cutter, and/or a conveying structure which are generally confined to the proximity of a body frame.
Claims9
An apparatus for cutting and measuring length of an elongated object, comprising:
- a body frame (1);
- a conveying structure (2) attached to the body frame, wherein the conveying structure (2) holds the object;
- a cutting structure adapted to cut the object (3);
- a wheel (4) configured to measure moving distance of the object, wherein the wheel is associated with a shaft (40) that r with the wheel, the shaft (40) including a driving wheel (41);
- and
- a movable structure (5) that is configured to slide vertically and connected to the wheel (4) via the driving wheel (41), wherein the movable structure (5) measures rotational distance of the wheel (4), further wherein the movable structure (5) has a lift slider (51) and a scale (52) affixed to an upper portion of the lift slider (51), wherein the lift slider (51) moves upwards as the driving wheel (41) rotates.
