Description
- The present invention relates to a supporting, positioning and centering system for a plurality of winding reels of metal bands, in particular aluminum bands preferably for the production of aluminum radiators.
- Currently the cores of winding reels of metal bands typically used by the industrial production of metal parts, are manually placed directly onto a corresponding spindle of the winding reel.
- This requires much time and a very high cost due to the hourly cost for the operator performing such operation.
- Furthermore, another disadvantage is that a manual operation necessarily involves errors due to the relative positioning between a core and the adjacent one, and furthermore it involves misalignments of the core with respect to the metal band which will be wound around the same, and furthermore misalignment errors of the axis of each core with respect to the winding reel.
- Positioning errors of this kind comprise an incorrect winding of the metal band on the corresponding core.
- Furthermore for the production of metal parts, as for example aluminum radiators by means of automated machines utilizing the wound metal bands as a starting material, it is not possible to get metal bands non correctly wound, as this would affect the production of final metal parts, and consequently the metal bands non correctly wound on the cores cannot be used and are scrapped.
- Aim of the present invention is the production of a supporting, positioning and centering system for a plurality of cores of winding reels of metal bands and a relative supporting, positioning and centering method, which permit to reduce at the minimum the positioning times of the plurality of cores on the spindle of the winding reel, so reducing at the minimum the positioning errors of the same.
- Further aim is to realize a supporting, positioning and centering system for a plurality of cores of winding reels of metal bands and a relative supporting, positioning and centering method which permit the fast and simple positioning of the plurality of cores on the spindle of the winding reel, so reducing at the minimum the human action and which permit to minimize the positioning errors, even when changing the diameters and the thickness of the cores.
- Another aim is to have a supporting, positioning and centering system for a plurality of cores of winding reels and a relative supporting, positioning and centering method which permits a simple and fast insertion of the cores on a spindle of a winding reel for metal bands, and at the same time permit to simply position different series of cores having different diameters and different lengths.
- Further aim is to have a supporting, positioning and centering system for a plurality of cores of winding reels of metal bands and a relative supporting, positioning and centering method, which are easy to realize and economically advantageous.
- These aims according to the present invention are reached by realizing a supporting, positioning and centering system for a plurality of cores of winding reels of metal bands and a relative supporting, positioning and centering method, according to
claims 1 and 15. - Further features of the invention are highlighted by the subsequent claims.

frame 30 comprises a section orthogonal to said centeringaxis 12 and substantially "C" or "U" shaped. - Advantageously this permits an easy positioning and centering of said plurality of
annular cores 20 with respect to saidcentering axis 12. - Furthermore, said
system 10 comprises a plurality ofasymmetrical seats 35 for said corresponding plurality ofannular cores 20 preferably metallic, eachasymmetrical seat 35 being also asymmetrical with respect to saidcentering axis 12 and being further perpendicular to the same, eachasymmetrical seat 35 being also symmetrical with respect to avertical plane 14 passing through saidcentering axis 12, eachasymmetrical seat 35 also occupying a radial portion with respect to saidcentering axis 12, which is equal or smaller than 200°, in particular equal or smaller than 190° and still more in particular is equal or smaller than 180°. - Preferably said radial portion is defined with respect to a

system 10 comprises at least two combs or racks 40, preferably at least threecombs 40, which are fixed and made integral with saidsupport frame 30, and which are parallel to said centeringaxis 12, and further in eachcomb 40 is realized a portion of eachasymmetrical seat 35 of said plurality ofasymmetrical seats 35. - In particular, each
comb 40 is substantially "I" shaped. - In this way it is possible to greatly simplify the realization of said plurality of
asymmetrical seats 35 and of saidsystem 10, so reducing costs and assembling times. - Preferably each

asymmetrical seat 35 comprises a plurality oftransversal abutments 45, in particular at least twotransversal abutments 45 for eachannular core 20 which are parallel to each other and perpendicular to saidcentering axis 12. - In this way it is advantageously possible to perfectly and quickly position each
annular core 20 within a correspondingasymmetrical seat 35 so avoiding a manual error, as theradial abutments 44 permit to correctly position oneannular core 20 with respect to the adjacent annular cores, and furthermore permit to perfectly align the symmetry axis of eachannular core 20 with saidcentering axis 12 so avoiding misalignment errors. - In particular said at least two

annular core 20 with respect to saidcentering axis 12, then determining a better quality of the metal band wound on the same. - This is very important as the metal band must be correctly wound due to the fact that the same is used in automated machines e.g. for the production of metal radiators.
- This automated machines use only metal bands perfectly wound on the corresponding
annular cores 20, therefore the non correctly wound bands would be completely disposed, resulting in a considerable loss of earnings. - Preferably said plurality of

system 10 on said spindle of said winding reel, hence at the same time fitting said plurality ofannular cores 20 on said spindle of said winding reel; - c) decoupling said supporting, positioning and centering
system 10 from said spindle of said winding reel. - In this way it is advantageously possible to avoid manual errors, as by means of the supporting, positioning and
centering system 10 it is possible d) to insert eachannular metal core 20 in a correspondingasymmetrical seat 35 of said plurality ofasymmetrical seats 35 so obtaining a perfect positioning of the plurality ofmetal cores 20 one respect to the other. - Furthermore, being the
seats 35 asymmetrical it is possible to decouple thesupport system 10 from said spindle of said winding reel so keeping in the same correct position the plurality ofmetal cores 20, avoiding positioning, misalignment or other manual errors. - Indeed, positioning or misalignment errors of the plurality of
annular metal cores 20 with respect to the axis of the spindle are due to manual errors and usually produce waste metal bands which are non correctly wound, as the wound metal bands are subsequently used in automated machines for the production of metal radiators as an example, and these automated machines necessarily require perfectly wound bands in order to avoid production problems with consequent rejection of the final product. - Preferably
such system 10 comprises asupport frame 30 in which said plurality ofasymmetrical seats 35 is integrated. - Furthermore said method comprises a step of e) fitting said
support frame 30 on said spindle, hence at the same time fitting said plurality ofannular cores 20 on said spindle of said winding reel, and further comprises one step of f) move saidsupport frame 30 in a direction perpendicular to said centeringaxis 12, and one step of g) decoupling saidsupport frame 30 from said plurality ofannular cores 20 and at the same time keeping the same perfectly centered and perfectly perpendicular to a symmetry axis of said spindle, so avoiding possible manual positioning errors, and consequently reaching an easy, quick and precise positioning of said plurality ofannular cores 20 on said spindle of said winding reel. - So it has been seen that a supporting, positioning and centering system for a plurality of cores of winding reels of metal bands and a relative supporting, positioning and centering method according to the present invention, realizes the aforementioned purposes.
