Abstract
A bandsawing apparatus for performing curvilinear cutting on the work material, while automatically copying a model, without any specific proficiency in the machine handling during the cutting operations. The profiling mechanism incorporated for use with this band sawing machine is of semi-mechanical and semi-electrical construction in combination with certain electric devices.
Claims13
In a bandsawing machine, the improvement comprising a profiling mechanism having a profile sensing member for sensing the profile of a work model, means for converting into an electrical signal the displacement of the sensing member by the model profile, the blade-twisting means responsive to the signal for twisting a short length of the bandsaw blade, including the cutting region thereof, about the cutting edge by an amount proportional to the displacement of the sensing member.
