Description

  • La present invention relates to compact line for cutting and profiling lists or strips of ceramic, stone and similar materials, as per the preamble of claim 1.
  • An example of such a compact line is disclosed by US 2004/0244788 A .
  • It is known to prepare lists from tiles or slabs to produce pieces, obviously of dimensions different from those of the tiles or slabs, which are habitually used as accessory finishing elements for floors and/or wall claddings. This, for example, is the situation that occurs with pieces like skirtings, which are made in the same color as the floor. In this specific case, one does not limit oneself to cutting the lists, but rather goes on to a further operation of profiling or shaping at least one edge of the list. It is common, for example to carry out what is called "bullnose" profiling.
  • The technique for producing such shapes or profiles is well known and relies on veritable profiling machines equipped with shaped multi-cutting tools (grinding wheels) which act upon the edges of the lists, to which feed motion is normally given during machining.
  • The essential cutting and profiling operations are normally carried out in a mutually independent manner with specialized machines, each of which is equipped with its own system for loading and unloading the pieces to be machined. To transfer the lists from one work surface to another or from one conveyor system to another, such known machines use pneumatic suction cup gripping apparatus which enable individual pieces or sets of pieces side by side to be lifted and positioned without producing damage and always maintaining considerable positioning precision.
  • Naturally, this requires suitable pneumatic gripping equipment which lends itself to being used for substantial volumes of production. Since the use thereof is cost-effective for production batches of a certain size and must necessarily take place in a production context that is well equipped and industrially organized, on the whole it is difficult to adapt to the requirements of a more flexible production involving batches of small entity and such as to enable the machining to take place in proximity to the place of use (building site).
  • The principal object of the present invention is to obviate the limits of the prior art by providing a compact line for cutting and profiling lists or strips of ceramic, stone and similar materials as claimed in claim 1.
  • Additional features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the description of a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment of the present invention, relating to a compact line for cutting and profiling lists or strips of ceramic, stone and similar materials, illustrated by way of non-restrictive example in the appended drawings, in which:
    • figure 1 shows a schematic plan view from above;
    • figures 2, 3 and 4 show the view of figure 1 in different successive processing steps.
  • With reference to the above-mentioned figures, 1 indicates overall a first cutting unit in which flat elements in the form of tiles or slabs 4 are cut into lists or strips 40.
  • Immediately downstream of the first cutting unit 1, with reference to the general feed motion indicated by the arrows 5, there is provided a second unit, definable as a handling unit 2, in which the lists or strips 40 are transferred and individually prepared to be conveyed, arranged in a queue consecutively to one another, to a subsequent machining step. Immediately downstream of the second handling unit 2, again with reference to the general feed motion indicated by the arrow 5, there is provided a third profiling or shaping unit 3, in which the lists or strips 40 undergo at least one profiling or shaping operation.
  • The three units mentioned, though being arranged consecutively to one another, are equipped with their own conveyor surfaces for carrying out the conveyance of the products.
  • In fact, following the cutting operation, the flat elements in the form of tiles or slabs 4 and the lists or strips 40 obtained from them are supported in the first cutting unit 1, on at least one first conveyor 10.
  • In the second handling unit 2 the lists or strips 40 are supported on a second conveyor 20.
  • In the third profiling or shaping unit 3 the lists or strips 40 are supported on at least one third conveyor 30.
  • These three conveyors are arranged contiguously and consecutively to one another. They also have the advantage of being actuated independently or at any rate in a manner such as to give rise for at least one of them a different forward travel speed along the travel direction indicated by the arrow 5.
  • In particular, at least the second conveyor 20 operates, when running regularly, at a higher conveying or transporting speed than the third conveyor 30.
  • By virtue of this operating situation, the lists or strips 40 which pass through the third profiling or shaping unit 3, where they undergo shaping in machining stations 31 arranged in alignment consecutively to one another, are always placed in contact consecutively to one another so as to form a sort of continuous, uninterrupted queue.
  • After the longitudinal cut (performed parallel to the direction indicated by the arrow 5 in the first cutting unit 1), the set of lists or strips 40 advances into the second handling unit 2, in which the lists or strips 40 are set in order and individually prepared to be conveyed to a subsequent machining. The second handling unit 2 comprises, for this purpose, an entry portion 21, located immediately downstream of the first conveyor 20, which receives the already cut lists or strips 40 that are conveyed to it by the first conveyor 10, and is provided with a first stop barrier 22. The latter is mobile upon command from a lower active position, where it is located, relative to the support surface of the second conveyor 20, at a distance sufficient to interfere with the edges of the incoming lists or strips 40 and thus act as a stop for them, to an upper inactive position, where it does not interfere with the lists or strips 40, permitting them to pass along freely as a result of the friction drag effected on them by the second conveyor 20.
  • Located downstream of the entry portion 21 delimited by the first stop barrier 22, with reference to the general direction of motion along the line, there is a deviation zone 23, which is suitable for accommodating the whole set of lists or strips 40 conveyed from the entry portion 21 and is in turn delimited downstream by a second stop barrier 24. The specific function of the second stop barrier 24 is to interfere with the edges of said lists or strips 40 so as to stop the feed motion independently of the motion of the second conveyor 20.
  • The second stop barrier 24, however, is structured and positioned to provide a gap or opening 25 having a pre-established width sufficient to permit the free passage of only one list or strip 40 at a time. In other words, the width of the gap is greater than the width or transverse dimension of the individual list or strip 40 and less than double said width or transverse dimension.
  • Suitable means are activated on command to act on the set of lists or strips 40 stopped against the second barrier 24, with the aim of creating transverse shifts of the entire "pack" of lists which are of an entity such as to bring an individual list or strip 40 - the one located at the end of the pack itself - into a position facing said gap or opening 25.
  • An upwardly projecting longitudinal edge 7, which delimits the gap 25, serves to retain the individual lists or strips 40 laterally, enabling them to be aligned one after the other in a continuous queue in the orientation required for passing into third profiling or shaping unit 3.
  • The list or strip 40, in contact with the edge 7 and no longer held back by the second stop barrier 24 is made to advance alone, dragged by the second conveyor 20, so as to pass the second stop barrier 24 and continue along the line toward the third profiling unit 3.
  • In particular, the gap or opening 25 is located at one flank of the second conveyor 20.
  • More specifically, the means suitable for acting upon the set of lists or strips 40 stopped against the second barrier 24 comprise a pusher member 26, which operates transversely to the direction of feed motion indicated by the arrow 5 and is dimensioned and prearranged above the conveying surface defined by the second conveyor 20 in such a manner as to be able to interfere with one flank of a list or strip 40. This action is normally exerted on the free flank of the list or strip 40 located at the side of the entire "pack" of lists.
  • The pusher member 26 is activated on command by an actuator 27 to create shifts, upon every activation, which are no smaller than the transverse dimensions or widths of the lists or strips 40.
  • This serves to sort the lists or strips 40, which are made to continue beyond the stop barrier 24 one at a time through the gap 25 and conveyed in continuous "Indian file" - i.e. in contact consecutively to one another - to the next profiling or shaping unit 3 on the corresponding third conveyor 30. The third profiling or shaping unit 3 comprises, arranged in succession one after the other, a number of work stations or machining heads 31 which operate on the lateral edges of the lists or strips 40. The latter are arranged at the flank of the third conveyor 30, which is located on the same side of the second conveyor 20 where the gap or opening 25 is present.
  • To keep the lists or strips 40 aligned, lateral guides, not shown in the figure, can be provided.
  • In order to keep the lists or strips 40 aligned and in contact consecutively to one another during the entire profiling process the second conveyor 20 has a greater speed than the third conveyor 30 so as to exert a constant push on the queue of lists or strips 40, which in this manner comes to present a sort of continuous body to the shaping tools, consisting of suitably shaped multi-cutting tools or grinding wheels, which equip the various stations or heads.
