Abstract
A welding and cutting counter head for joining and cutting sheeted materials comprising a welding counter-wheel rotatably supported on a shaft which is supported on a slide for movement towards and away from a location where the materials are joined, a cutting disk adjacent the counter-wheel and mounted for rotation with the counter-wheel, means for mounting the cutting disk for floating radial motion relative to the counter-wheel, and a resilient biasing means for biasing the cutting disk in a direction towards the materials joining location.
Claims9
A welding and cutting counter head for, in cooperation with a welding head, joining and cutting sheeted workpiece materials, comprising:
- a slide and a lateral cheek together forming an assembly having two shaft-supported bearings;
- a shaft supported by said bearings and a welding counter-wheel having at least one lateral face rotatably supported on said shaft, said shaft and said counter-wheel supported on said slide for movement towards and away from a location where the materials are joined by the counter-wheel in cooperation with a welding head;
- a driving transmission drivingly connected to the counter-wheel for driving the counter-wheel in rotation;
- a cutting disk adjacent the counter-wheel lateral face and mounted for rotation with the counter-wheel;
- means for mounting the cutting disk for floating radial motion relative to the counter-wheel;
- resilient biasing means for biasing the cutting disk in the direction of advancement of the counter-wheel towards said materials joining location.
