Abstract
Cutting and coupling method, including the steps of: arranging a first sheet of resilient material onto a first cutting station; arranging a spring pack onto a first bearing plane adjacent to a first coupling area; cutting a first portion of said first sheet, said first portion defining a first spar; moving said first spar towards a first coupling area adjacent to said first bearing plane; applying a layer of adhesive to at least one of a first lateral surface of said spring pack and said first spar at a contact surface; gluing said first lateral surface of said spring pack to said first spar.
Claims9
A cutting and coupling method, comprising the following steps in precise order:
- arranging a first sheet of resilient material onto a support base of a first cutting station, in an extended configuration;
- arranging a spring pack onto a first bearing plane adjacent to a first coupling area;
- cutting a first portion of said first sheet, said first portion defining a first spar;
- moving said first spar towards a first coupling area adjacent to said first bearing plane;
- applying a layer of adhesive to at least one of a first lateral surface of said spring pack and said first spar at a contact surface;
- gluing said first lateral surface of said spring pack to said first spar.
A cutting and coupling system, comprising:
- a first cutting station of a first sheet of resilient material, said first cutting station comprising a support base for said first sheet and a cutting device designed to cut said first sheet so as to obtain at least one first spar;
- a bearing plane adjacent to a first coupling area and designed to support a spring pack, said spring pack having four lateral surfaces;
- first moving means of said at least one first spar from said first cutting station towards said first coupling area;
- first gluing means arranged in proximity to said first coupling area and designed to apply an adhesive layer onto at least one of a first lateral surface of said spring pack and said first spar so as to couple them stably;
- said system being characterized by the fact that it comprises second moving means for moving said spring pack along a horizontal direction towards a second bearing plane, and by the fact that said cutting device allows said first sheet to be cut to obtain a first and a second spar (31, 32), said first moving means being designed to move said second spar towards said first coupling area when said spring pack is located on said second bearing plane, so that said second spar can be glued to a second lateral surface of said spring pack, said second lateral surface being opposite said first lateral surface.
