Abstract
A method for forming a tubular sheet product roll includes providing a sheet product roll having a first configuration and a void, centering a rotational axis of the sheet product roll on a longitudinal axis of a first tool, and inserting the first tool into the void of the sheet product roll to define an inner diameter of the void and to form the sheet product roll having a second configuration different from the first configuration.
Claims19
A system for forming a core of a tubular sheet product roll comprising:
- a first tool operative to define a first portion of the core of the tubular sheet product roll;
- a first linkage connected to the first tool operative to move the first tool linearly along a linear axis of the first tool;
- a second linkage connected to the first tool operative to rotate the first tool axially about the linear axis of the first tool;
- and
- a first actuator portion having an arcuate inclined, sloped path operative to engage the first linkage.
A system for forming a core of a tubular sheet product roll comprising:
- a first tool operative to define a first portion of the core of the tubular sheet product roll;
- a first linkage connected to the first tool operative to move the first tool linearly along a linear axis of the first tool, wherein the first linkage includes a roller;
- a second linkage connected to the first tool operative to rotate the first tool axially about the linear axis of the first tool;
- and
- a first actuator portion having an inclined, sloped path operative to engage the roller of the first linkage.
