Abstract
An edge treatment tool defines the travel direction of a strip having edges. An edge treatment tool is supported to extend transversely to the strip travel direction and may be advanced and retracted relative to said edge to control its position relative to said edge and the supporting means causing resilient vibration of said tool in the strip travel direction.
Claims13
Edge treatment tool comprising means defining a strip travel direction, such a strip having edges extending in said direction,
- supporting means for said edge treatment tool extending transversely relative to the strip travel direction,
- said supporting means including means for advancing and retracting said tool relative to said edge to control its position relative to said edge,
- said supporting means having means for causing vibration of the tool in the strip travel direction.
Edge treatment system including means defining a strip path and providing means for treating an edge of said strip,
- said means including an edge treatment tool located on a support extending approximately transverse to said strip edge,
- means for locating said edge of said treatment tool in contact with said strip edge and approximately perpendicular thereto means for alternately vibrating said tool edge in the direction of strip travel and in the opposite direction by causing corresponding vibration of said support.
