Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to the production of rolls of sheet material and more particularly to a cutting-off machine and a method for the cutting of logs or sticks of sheet material, in particular paper.
  • Cutting of the logs for forming rolls of smaller length is carried out with special cutting-off machines which have one or more metal or ceramic blades, of the disc type, which are made to rotate in an orbit around an axis in a cutting plane transverse to the direction of feeding of the log, or of the belt type, which are cyclically lowered onto the log to be cut.
  • Another type of cutting-off machine provides for a series of fixed flat blades against which the logs are driven in a direction perpendicular to their axes, so as to be "sliced".
  • a problem which reduces, even drastically, productivity of the cutting-off machines is overheating and the consequent deformation of the cutting blade. Since the cutting blade (in the case of belt disc blades) for performing the cutting of the log has to have a high rotation speed, during cutting, between the surface of the blade and that of the log to be cut, a high friction is generated which causes excessive overheating of the blade. Having reached a limit temperature, variable in accordance with the material and the shape of the disc of the blade, a relaxation and thermal expansion of the material of the disc occur which lead to deformation of the same disc.
  • This deformation is due to the residual tensions induced in the disc of the blade in the phase of manufacture to make its surface take on the required planarity.
  • Cutting-off machines are therefore equipped with systems aiming to lower the temperature of the blade or to control deformation thereof, as occurs in the patent EP 1609570 B1 of the same Applicant, or to ascertain the quality of the cut.
  • Yet another object of the invention is that of providing a cutting-off machine of any one of the known types, which requires minimum modifications to achieve the abovementioned results.
  • Substantially the cutting-off machine for the cutting of logs of sheet material comprises at least one cutting blade placed on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the logs, in order to perform transverse cuts over the same and produce rolls of smaller length with respect to the logs, said at least one cutting blade being associated with an ultrasonic device apt to generate a vibrating force on the blade.
  • the ultrasonic converter 22 converts the electrical energy with frequency coming from the generator 20 into mechanical vibrations with high frequency, which are transferred to the sonotrode 23, which transmits the vibratory energy to the blade 11.
  • FIGS 3 and 4 in which the same reference numerals introduced previously are used, illustrate an embodiment of the cutting-off machine wholly similar to that of Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the cutting-off machine comprises two rectilinear flat blades 11 placed in diametrically opposed positions on a rotating support 12.
  • the sonotrodes 23 are placed at the base of the blades 11.
  • a plurality of lower drive belts 30 are provided, and a corresponding plurality of opposite upper drive belts 31, placed between the plurality of blades 11.
  • a plurality of ultrasounds generators 20 are provided, connected by means of respective cables 21 to corresponding ultrasonic converters 22 and sonotrodes 23 placed at the bases of the respective blades 11.
