Abstract
Automatic index rotary buffing apparatus includes a plurality of buffing stations at which buffing heads are rotated relative to a workpiece having recesses in a face thereof for buffing the workpiece at each buffing station. The buffing heads at the last two buffing stations comprise bias pleated cotton buffs which, at the next to last buffing station, are rotated against the rotation of the workpiece to clean out one side of the recesses in the workpiece, and at the last buffing station, are rotated with the rotation of the workpiece to clean out the other sides of the recesses and to color buff the workpiece.
Claims18
Automatic index rotary buffing apparatus comprising a plurality of buffing stations each including means for rotating a workpiece having recesses in a face thereof, and rotatable buffing means for buffing the workpiece at each buffing station, the buffing means at the next to last buffing station being driven against the rotation of the workpiece for cleaning out one side of the recesses, and the buffing means at the last buffing station being driven with the rotation of the workpiece at the last buffing station for cleaning out the other side of the recesses and for color buffing the workpiece.
Automatic index rotary buffing apparatus comprising a plurality of buffing stations for supporting a workpiece having recesses in a face thereof, and buffing means at each of the buffing stations rotatable relative to the workpiece for buffing the workpiece at each buffing station, the buffing means at least at the last two buffing stations including buffs made of cotton, said buffs at one of the last two buff stations being rotatable in one direction relative to the workpiece to clean out one side of the recesses in the workpiece, and the buffs at the other of the last two buff stations being rotatable in the opposite direction relative to the workpiece to clean out the other side of the recesses in the workpiece.
Automatic index rotary buffing apparatus comprising at least three buffing stations each including means for rotating a workpiece having recesses in a face thereof, and rotatable buffing means for buffing the workpiece at each buffing station, the buffing means at the next to last buffing station being driven against the rotation of the workpiece for cleaning out one side of the recesses, the buffing means at the last buffing station being driven with the rotation of the workpiece at the last buffing station for cleaning out the other side of the recesses and for color buffing the workpiece, and the buffing means at another buffing station than the last and second to last buffing stations having a different hardness than the buffing means at the last and next to last buffing stations for cut buffing the workpiece.
