Description
CNC MACHINING CENTER FOR MACHINING EXPANDED MATERIALS
The present invention relates to a compact machining center
CNC, equipped with cutting blades hot pre-shaped dies and
cutters, for the processing of any material foamed phenol foam or
extruded in general, in particular for panels of any ICF thick,
with complex geometry (here inafter for brevity called
"machine") .
Are known in the art conventional pantographs for continuous
cutting of plates (flat surfaces even if not perfectly coplanar
in its facades) expanded polystyrene, such as the cutting line
numerical control Model ECO lV 4000 M 2000 of Company DDL LTD
Such slabs, however, have no specific application for the
building, since, as currently designed to heat the wires of such
2 0 pantographs, the sl.abs resulting from the cut are not suitable
application in construction industrialized of environmentally
friendly, for example to build modular elements with
corrugated surf aces, micro-ribbed with longitudinal grooves and
undercuts lattice, with dovetails negative and- positive female-
male, male-m ale, female-fe male in their facades unlimited shape
and geometry, even the most disparate
and currently, however, in the building
Historic ally
all ICF mainly of American,
industry, worldwide, panels
Californian and other countries, are to be always printed smooth
facades, limited in sizes medium in size and no more than 30/40
cm in height, and thicknesses defined, through specific aluminum
molds suitably molded and shaped for the purpose, and for this
reason serve multiple molds to produce obviously a range of
standard panels ICF. However briefly and not exhaustively
specified first, means that you can produce panels with ICF
Technical Note molds, obviously with a thi6kness defined heights
and lengths standardized by means of a single aluminum mold.
In fact, to produce said panels ICF confront very high
investments for the multiple molds needed for single thickness,
height and defined length not more than 150 centimeters. It
becomes obvious that a note of technology not only implies
simil,arly high costs due to the remarkable timing, of molding if
these panels ICF if they have to be produced in thicknesses
2 higher average heights of 40 cm and a maximum length of 1500 cm.
More disadvantageous . becomes the production of these panels ICF
above the same, co-molded with plastic inserts PP, or integrated
spacers at least in two panels facing each other between them,
through complex molds associated with conventional printers
adequate and modified for the purpose, which are also very costly
and not easy to find in industry and in the world market.
The present invention the rapid manufacturing of el ements of
any geometry with complex shapes and more December Also without
bond materials, and in Particular the realization of panels in
ICF (EPS) foam and/or (XPS) of any extruded shape, extent length,
height and thickness, and indeed having multiple measurements
FORM called term
with submultiples INSULATED CONCRETE
international ( ICF SYSTEM) , contrary to the common conception of
molding obsolete and static part to get the same products made by
the machine in question with the classical technique of molding
static, it would take a large number of high performance molds
and technology, Which in any case would never allow you to print
certain ICF panels or decorations in general, and an equal number
of special printing machines, combined with bells Conveying the
steam to the specific mold type for allow them to make my notes
sintering of virgin EPS beads, with obvious and consequent high
investment.
Moreover, the machines used for the molding of the panels ICF
2 0 present in the industries and on the world market are not always
adaptable to complex technical molds.
From all this, are deduced the extreme and exclusive dynamism
and the elasticity of the machine in question, either as the
capacity and type of production, both as
variability of
corposi ti on depending on the product to be cut and/ or milling,
whether formwork modular cables for the creation of flights of
stairs in the site, hollow blocks, panels of any thickness,
height and length, having the same cavity to "T" or of any
conformation necessary for the perfect coupling of more elements
of any type of materials they are, cornices, string courses,
decorative capitals and jambs for doors and windows, arches door
box thermal roller - blinds and anything else needed to create
these elements in monolithic form.
Advantageously and exclusively the Machine produces panels
ICF tapered striped with quarries obtained both in the fa ca de
internal and/or external or jointly with hollow "T" and/or
"cross", for accommodating any type of connector is necessary for
the conjunction of a plurality of components for the conformation
of any formwork-f ormwork for a perfect housing bound of
structural profiles, longitudinal rods and the stirrups
horizontal is placed in tilt, pitch and variable geometry, in
accor dance with the known technique of armor steel, in order to
perform advantageously and exclusi vely all current and future
regulations at the international level.
However, as seen, the known machines for cutting polystyrene
and similar material are only a heated wire for "Joule effect" by
means of electrical energy, and fail to realize a cut coplanar
and perfect, especially when working elements and/or panels over
the meter linear. Therefore, the complete machining of the few
elements that will be unable to realize would lead to costs and
times that are acceptable.
The purpose of the present invention is to construct a
modular machine according to requirements, able to work quickly,
and that it is constructively very simple and inexpensive in the
model base, with a very high operating speed and exclusively
polyhedral, because of the unique technology applied based on
wires and multiple punches shaped heated "Joule effect" using
electricity in the most varied shapes and many cutters shaped for
lD the purpo se, all controlled by CNC system and software.
The work center described below realiz es, by a block (A) of
parallel epiped shape of EPS expanded polystyrene and/or size of
the extru ded from the classic standard sizes from 400 x 100 xl20
cm or of other measures arranged in a vertical position (the
machine can also be constructed for working in horizontal and/or
inclined, and the dimensions of the block (A) are not binding,
because the machine can adapt to the dimensions of the block (A)
constructed by the user, given that his inventive feature is the
'extensibility of the frame with obvious replacement of the
2 0 screws (or belt) transmission in the extending direction) , the
panels having integrated quarries and ICF/or undercuts with
dovetails variable geometry (in thickness and height) , which are
indispensa ble elements for solidarity and perfect assembly of a
formwork-formwork-related bottom floor and pot of any size
(linear, angular shaped cavity attached) .
This machine is designed for cutting and the
milling
necessary panels for the construction of specific elements for
external and internal walls,
foundations, thermo-insulating
panels or slabs for floors, sloped roofs, macro-venti lated roofs,
elements such monolithic
micro- ventilated roofs, decorative
hollow columns, monolithic string courses, cornices, decorative
capitals,
door insulation for doors and windows, thermal box
roller- door-shutters, arches, arches and rest in order for the
construction of buildings for private, public and industrial
sectors.
The execution of the foregoing, even in many differ ent forms,
can be cut to die in hot (single and multiple) linear and shaped,
hot-wire (single and multiple) linear and also shaped in many
different shapes, milling with suitably shaped tools. The
machining systems cited (hot cutting and milling) can succession
sequentially or simultaneously, and always
according to a
sequence controlled by a numerical control (CNC system) slaved to
the machine, in which are implemented the various processing
cycles programmable via software specific trade or specifically
2 0 designed for these features.
The above and other objects and exclusive advantages of the
invention, as will appear from the following descrip tion, are
achieved with a compact machining center CNC system equipped with
blades and dies by hot cutting and milling tools, for machining,
made from the same materials expanded or extruded in general, as
described in claim 1. Preferred embodiments and non-trivial
variations of the present invention are the subject of the
dependent claims.
It is understood that all of the appended claims form an
integral part of the present description.
The present invention will be better described by some
preferred embodiments, given as an example and not limi tati ve,
with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figures 1 to 10 illustrate a first variation of the
machining center of the present invention;
Figure 11 illustrates a second variation of the machining
center of the present invention;
Figures 12 to 15 illustr ate a third variation of the
machining center of the present invention;
Figures 16 to 18 illustrate a fourth variation of the
machining center of this invention;
Figures 19 and 20 illustr ate a fifth variation of the
machining center of the present invention.
Referring to the Figures is illustr ated and described a
preferred embodiment of the machining center of the present
invention. Be immediately obvious that it will be possible to
make what is described numerous variations and modifications (for
example related to shape, design, sizes, arran gements and parts
with equivalent functionality) without departing from the scope
of the invention as appears from the appended claims.
As regards the processing of the panel linear, it has variable
dimensions from a minimum of size 120 x 15 (H) x 5 (D) cm to 120
x 60 (H) x 30 (P) according to multiples of 15 cm for (H) and 2. 5
cm to ( P) . This panel may present various types of grooves;
including the preferred is the one dovetail . On the facades 120 x
H, are linear grooves or polygonal-lattice alternate male and
female sides 120 x P, linear grooves alternate male and female
sides H x D.
The machine for the machining of said panels in EPS polystyrene
foam or other foam materials or gummy of any density is constituted by a
first station ( 1) comprising a c astle (1') to
vertical uprights having longitudinal grooves supported by a base
( 2) that accommodates a supporting surface ( 3) equipped with
electro -pneumatic cylinders (4).
The block (A) of EPS polystyrene, by means of a belt or a
roller· conveyor, is placed in a vertical position on the floor
(3), centered with respect to the castle (1') . In the upper part
of this, are plac�d various types of tools (punches, wires,
cutters) in the order described below starting from the floor
(3):
• a frame (5) carrying hot cutting dies (6) complete with
insulators ( 7) and devices ( 8) clamping and tensioning frames.
The tines may be fixed or movable to adapt to the thick ness of
realized, even in the most disparate
the panel to be
conformations (formwork modular cables for the creation of
flights of stairs in the site, hollow blocks, panels of any
thickness, height and length, having the same cavity "T" or any
conformation necessary for the proper attachment of most elements
of any material they are, cornices, string courses, decora tive
capitals and jambs for doors and decorative windows, arches and
arches, seismic thermal containers, thermal containers door
shutters) . The wagon door-frame ( 9) slides on linear guides ( 10)
of known construction placed inside the uprights ( 1' ) and is
moved vertically by means of a screw, driver ( 11) (or also with
pulleys and belt) and motor (12); on said carriage (9) is located
a movement (analogous to 1012) which allows the frame (5) to
move in the horizontal direction to escape from the castle (1')
in so that they can be manually positioned at an angle from 0 °
to 90 ° thanks to a hinge graduated ( 13) interpose d between the
carriage (9) and the frame (5) for performing cutting along
directions and angles as desired. Above the dies ( 6) are placed
metallic foils unheated and not shown on the drawing, having the
same shape of the hot cutting dies
(6), that prevent the
narr owing of the opening of the panel imediately after passing
through the cutting die (6) by heating with integrated wire
nickel cadmium, so as to preve nt an increase of resistance to
cutting and any change of direction of the same;
• two slides (14) for milling performed by a tool (15) mounted on
an elect ro- spindle (16). The slides (14) opposing slide on linear
guides (17) of known construction placed outside of the upri ghts
(l') and are moved vertically by means of a screw driver (18) (or
also with pulleys and belt) and motor (19); on these slides (14)
is placed a handling (analogous to 1012) that allows the
displacement of the step necessary for the realization of the
grooves or slots. The machine being saved by CNC system, the
cutter can move in inter polation according to the vertical and
horizontal directions so as to perform a milling inclined and/or
according to a curvilinear profile. Can be mounted to each slide
(14) over an electro-spin dle (16) for contemporary grooves
without limitation conformation;
• a frame (20) wire port/s (21) complete with insu lators (22 ) and
devices (23) for fixing and tensioning wires. The wires may be
fixed or movable manually or by a motor of known construction, to
adapt to the cutting to be performed. The carriage (24) which
bears the frame (20) slides on linear guides (25), of known
construction, placed outside of the upright s ( 1') and is moved
vertically by means of a screw transmission without end (26) (or
also with pulleys and belt) and motor (27); on said carriage (24)
is placed a handling (analogous to 1012) which allows the
frame (20) to move in the horizontal direction for make the cut
to the pitches you want without restriction. The machine being
saved by CNC, the wire/s (21) can move in an interpolation
according to the vertical and horizont al directions so as to
perform an inclined cut and/or according to a curvilinear
profile.
Using a single wire (2 1), the cuttin g operation in horizontal
begins as soon as the door frame punches has exceeded the safe
altitude and the grooves have been carried out by the drills, all
programmed using software designed for this purpose.
As previously mentioned, the block (A) in polystyrene foam
EPS rests on a table equipped with electro-pneumatic
cylinders (4) bearing rod end a sphere self-supporting. The
latter, activated by CNC depending on the format of the panels to
be machined, prot�ude from the table (3) and raise the block (A)
in EPS polystyrene so that the frame ( 5) that carries the hot
cutting dies (6) can escape completely from said block (A) at the
end of the vertical cut. The table ( 3) can be equipped with
rotary motion with respect to its axis: in fact, in the execution
of assail able elements to a cylinder (columns), once effected the
cut with the cutting dies (6) , it may be necessary to perform
milling with corners predetermined to be performed with the
electr o-spindles (16).
For the maintenance of the cut panels on the sides of the
castle ( 1') opposite the entrance and exit of the block (A) in
polystyrene EPS foam, are arranged in the vertical direction of
the elect ro- pneumatic cylinders equip ped end of the stem of
appendices pointed (28) or suction cups (29) that intervene CNC
controlled only after the passage of the frame (5) carrying the
hot cutting dies ( 6) and are deactivated at the end of all the
workings.
Starting from the top, the panels which are completely
machined can be evacuated from the work area through special
with the
gripping devices, of known construction, combined
machine and operated by the same CNC.
In the upper part of the castle (1 ') are placed uction a shood
(30) of the fumes generated by the cutting die (6) and thread,
and a counter-hood (31) for maintaining constant the temperature
of the dies and the wires hot.
From the above description, it is clear that, in the end, the
used panels are missing on the sides of the grooves 120 x P and P
x H. For this through a dedicated and specific mechanism (32) ·to
translate and tilt (consisting of gripping arms self-centering by
means of electr o-pneumatic cylinders, translating always by means
of el ectro-pneumati c cylinders, and made to rotate through
electro-pneumatic cylinders rotating) the group of panels is
brought into a second station (33) where, through the mechanisms
of milling (34) and (35), said panels undergo the execution of
the grooves on the sides 120 x P. The mechanisms ( 34) and ( 35)
are similar to kinematic milling described for the first station.
Subsequen tly, the group of panels is traversed with thrust
mechanisms not shown on a carpet and/ or roller conveyor ( 3 6)
where, through the mechanisms (37) and (38), said panels undergo
the execution of other processes. The mechanisms ( 3 7) and ( 38)
-180 motorized
are each constituted by a rotating arm ( 0
carrying one or more electro-spindles mechan ically adjustable in
position along the direction of the arm itself to vary the
geometry of the machining; of arms, in addition to the rotation,
are eq uipped with a movement parallel and perpendicular to the
direction of the carpet and/ or roller conveyor ( 3 6) by means of
kinematic mechanisms motorized analogous to those described
above.
Such devices allow to perform, in addition to grooves on the
sides D x H, milli ngs variable geometry for the reali zation of
arcs, arches and decorations with recesses of any shape and
design, even the most disparate. The two arms (37) and (38) are
independent in operation and still managed by CNC. The panels in
the two working operations are kept perfectly in place by
fighting specific measurement variable captures not shown in the
drawing, controlled by photocells connected to the CNC system.
The second station ( 33) can be also equipped with rotary
table ( 3) , a support ( 3 9) carries electro-s pindles ( 4 0) arranged
2 0 vertically with manual mechanical variation of distance between
the one and the other (mechanism consisting from the adjusting
screw and locking by means of bolts not shown in the drawing) and
is moved in the horizontal direction by means of the kinematic
mechanism (41) similar to 22/11/10, and performs the milling on
one side P x H; subsequently, after having carried out the
rotation of the table ( 33) , repeats the processing on the other
side P x H. Since the rotary table can be milled with the work
piece oriented according to different angles in a simple and
easy.
The inventive machine may, as a variation of the first
station ( 1) , provide for a station ( 1' ' ) as shown in Figure 10,
without kinematic hot cutting dies (6) and multip le wire/s with
kinema tic milling multiple entry and exit to the grooving,
emptying and decoration panels had been cut and/or other
architectural elements such as decorative elements such as
monolithic hollow columns, monolithic string courses, cornices,
decorative capitals, jambs seismic insulation for doors and
windows, to ribs decorative elem ents for all sixth string
courses, door bins ther mal-blinds, round-headed arches, etc .. The
two kinematic milling, are independent and move transversely to
the direction of translation of the pieces. The electro-mi ll
holding spindles can vary the distance wiih respect to one
another by means of an adj us ting screw and securing bolts as
previous ly described.
As illust rated. in Figure 11, it can be noticed a variation
( 1' ' ') of the first station without kinematic hot cutting dies
(6) . and multiple wire/s with kinematic milling on four sides for
the realization of grooves, emptying and decorations on a block
(A) whole panels previously cut and other archit ectural elements
such elements for 'assembling formwork modular cables for
creating flights of stairs on the site, hollow blocks, panels of
any thickness, height and length, with the same cavity T or any
conformation necessary for the perfect engagement more elements

can be rotated and all movements are controlled by CNC.
The supports (3 9) leads electro-spindles (40), independent of
each other and arranged vertically with manual mechanical
variation of distance between the one and the other (known
mechanism consists of the adjusting screw and locking by means of
bolts) are moved by means of kinematic mechanisms (42) similar to
those previously described.
As illustrated in Figures 12 to 15, is depicted a variati on
(lib) of the first. station only with multiple kinematic cutting
dies (6) for the execut ion of the emptying of a column and with a
support (43) which leads cutters (44) arranged vertically, with
manual mechanical variation of distance between the one and the
other (known mechanism consists of the adjusting screw and
locking by means of bolts), driven by belt and pulleys by a
single motor, said support moved by kinem atic linear similar to
those
previously described or angular ( 4 6) by means of rack and
pinion (not shown), for the execution of the decorations on said
column without any limit of machining at any angle and depth.
According to the variation (lV) of Figures 16 to 18, there is
illustrated the first station only with multiple kinematic
cutting dies ( 6) (Fig. 17 and 18) , for the execution of the
emptying from one to four columns of conformation also different
drawing. The interior design of any geometric shape even the most
disparate back however the dovetail grooves and slots "T" or
"cross" for housing any type of connector I spacer nece ssary for
the conj unction of the semi-columns and the 'housing bound the
longitud inal rods and the stirrups horizontal variable pitch. The
data · obtained for cutting and emptying have the function of a
special formwork-disposable formwork for building constructions
monolithic, with a procedure advantageously innovative and not
known.
A software application is also provided, which is a program
of CAD-CAM to be installed directly on the server machine and/or
in a workstation external and networked with that server, and in
any case in a remote connection with the head office management.
The 2D/3D CAD system is implemented in an application
specific structured as follows:
• proprietary database of all the elements producible, . enabled
archiving files only authorized, not modifiable by the user, but
recalled from these for the production of the most varied types
of panels, plates ICF, special pieces-elements that make up any
type of formwork - caissons insulation. Each new creation desired
by the user shall be subject to the authoriz ation of a data
processing center in remote connection, viewing the drawing; the
program will act in order.
• Nesting algorithm that allows, given the size of the block (A)
to be worked and the type of the element to make (and/or elements
provided they are compatible with one another for tools) , the
optimization of the material by reducing waste to a minimum of
material
• Automatic generation of the cycle, defined as a sequence of
operations to be performed and the tool path.
• View and monitor the various phases of work.
• Monitoring and parts counting performed, it cannot be altered
by the user, using alphanumeric password changed automatically.
It can be realized so that the machine allows to mill plastic
elements composite of synthetic origin, rubber, high-density foam
and other composite materials obviously including warheads the
2 0 upper and lower panels of EPS in creating hollow corrugated
surfaces with undercuts or dovetail groove negative and positive
in all its facades, and the male and female without constraints
of depth and radius, necessary for a stacking of a plurality of
elements for the specific embodiment of modular system in
"stay-in-place" acoustic for
f ormwork transpirable thermo
building constructions ICF.
The main advantages against conventional machi nes that print
the whole mass of mere rectangular blocks are not perfectly
square in the four facades, are:
• Density constant in all areas of the block (A) , even if you
want to incor porate high percentages of reclaimed material,
• Uniform sintering of polystyrene foam, though not printed with
beads virgins,
• Low consumption of steam,
• Low residual moisture content after crossing the molding cycle,
• Vacuum tight , and secure steam inside the mold parallelepiped,
even if placed horizo ntally,
• True ease of use and maintenance.
The software installed in the PC manages the operation of the
machine (with modified block machine) and allows a diagnostic of
any malfunction.
The standard dimensions of the mold may vary from a minimum
of 1 x 0. 5 x 1 m. up to a maximum of 8 x 1. 25 x 1. 5 m, and
depending on the models are progressively adjustable in height or
depth through the bank removable for sliding, driven by at least
one hydraulic piston, or are calculable according to the needs of
friction that creates for the expulsion of the block (A) pre
shaped paral lelepiped.
As far as the techno logical-productive flexi bility, the
advantages are so numerous that the list can only be schematic:
• The perfect featur es of selected aluminum alloys, and
especially of alloys for High Speed milling (without imposing
change frequently because of the modular matrices durable) ;
• Consumption by abrasion of hard materials sintered and the same
rectan gular blocks tending to zero (compared to working on steel
sides);
• Almost total elimination of slow processes such as arthritis
that are created during the ejection of the block (A) in EPS
parallel epiped block-molding machine by vertical or horizontal;
• Simpl ification of the budget and determined application of
matrices micro- perforate "molds and figures" (only or mainly to
scroll through the strips connected to the steel walls of
conventi onal concrete block);
• Implementation actual production (without interrup tion) molding
and without interruption for cooling;
• In general, significant increase in the speed of preparation of
the counter-mold (made of micro modular aluminum) to be inserted
into the mold of a �onventional rectangular concrete block;
• Advantages in terms of speed of construction, all the more
remarkable, the higher is the volume of the counter-mold and the
volume to be removed by conventional milling (construction of
"molds") ;
• Troubleshooting cooling and related circuitry in an easy way:
in fact, the same circuit is passing through the cavity of the
strips attached horiz ontally to the wall of the conventional
block machine, which in turn engage solidly in aluminum micro-
perforated sheet metal of the matrix, where for many steels this
is impossible (steel molds for more "insulat ion");
• Drastic reduction of time adjustment (due to lower bending
stresses induced in the molding system of· innovative rec tangular
blocks of EPS);
•
Drastic reduction of the time required for the surface
polishing of the innovative against micro perforated matrices,
both manual or HSM.
The advantages
compared to traditional systems are
considerable:
• Minimum space occupied;
• Low noise level;
• Complete absence of dust in the waste may therefore be
recovered;
• Reduced energy consumption;
2 0 • Lower capital inv.estment for the production of slabs with caves
and gorges and "T" cross etc;
• Considerable operational flexibility: the profile of the
quarries and the flare and the thickness of the plates
Will be, programmed by software applied to a PC without having to
2 5 change any tools.
plurality of ICF panels, in addition to being an ideal support to
be coated also with a traditional method, and having a guaranteed
same block (A) parallelepiped expanded polystyrene (EPS
PES) will be subjected to shear to simultaneously create multiple
panels in � very short time (ratio 1 to 9 compared to the classic
and known molding of panels ICF), depending on the requirement of
thickness and extent in height and length; in turn, along the
processing chain, such panels will be bound in a lane adjustable
to size according to the measure of the panel, so that the drills
at very high speed adjustable invention, as further application ,
able simultaneously milling the heads of the panels creating the
necessary design as teeth, recesses or ribs negative and positive
in order to stack them with a solid interlocking including
through elongated elements, etc.
It is well to specify that the hot wire cutting of the panels
in EPS not only allows to have an exclusive breathability due to
its rough surface thus obtained by the procedure, which is still
a further and exclusive advantage of adhesion to pairing of a
integral adhesion over time.
The method and the inventive pantograph described above
therefore allow to considerably reducing the production costs of
the panels ICF in EPS and conventional plates perfectly coplanar
in both sides and homogeneous thickness.
Again, such panels can be printed without having to meet
multiple constraints for their production, as for example, in the
prior art called Insulated Concrete Forms, ICF, the fact of
having to turn to indispensably large industries that have in use
of specific machinery for their production.
With the inventive method, it is not diffi cult to find the
raw material on site or in the irediate vicinity as the EPS
blocks, with the obvious advantage of a simple stacking with out
lost volumes for their special rectangular shape, it becomes
difficult to transport volumes finished materials, for long
same of conformations and
distances, being the different
therefore not easily stackable without then transported volumes
unnecessary.
Obviously that procedure in production site becomes purely
economic and, it goes without saying that at the same time
innovative production process on site, contributes to the total
respect of the environment, and yet, the inventive technology not
only performs extremely unique and innovative, but also respects
also the envir onment with a much lower pollution due to transport
to the total volume of the semi-finished product, resulting in
more economic in each type of processing in comparison with the
conventional panels.for ICF printed via specific molds by type.
An appli cation example of the inventive method is described
below. 20 blocks/hour were used with density 15 g/lt and
dimensions 600 x 1, 200 x 4, 000 millimeter, whereby during molding
were obtained about 1060 sheets, panels ICF thick ness of 75
millimeter, with facades representing the figures volutes, as
-2 2-
continuous ribs horizontally (ribs modular necessary for the
stacking of a plura lity of panels) only to be cut in the top and
b9ttom surfaces with the appropriate dovetail slots "T " - cross
or other representati ons without limitation by the pantograph
amended of the present invention
The ratio of cut slabs of panels ICF in comparison to the
classic known molding was 1 to 9, and therefore are evident its
effect iveness, as well as its industrialization easy and
economical, thanks to the limited necessary equipment, except
that impleme ntation of machinery from always existing
As a comparative example, we used a classical and
conventional aluminum mold with four figures (four panels ICF
without co-molded plastic inserts) , having an average of 2. 5/3.0
minutes for printed for simple plates or panels containing ICF,
longitudinal slots at half height of the panel ICF.
Obviously, taking into account the 2. 5 /3. 0 minutes cited,
they are printed with such a conventional mold in aluminum 24
panels ICF: therefore, in order to athieve the same quantity
obtained by the above-me ntioned process of the invention, it
would take at least. 44 hours with such conventional mold.
According to a variat ion not shown, on the base of the
Machine 1 are arranged (by screwing or welding certified) devices
to cylindrical or polygonal hole for insertion of gripping means
of an arm interchangeable shaped for the purpose, which moves by
means of hydraulic cylinders or winch, is intercha ngeable devices
that depend on the conformation of the towing vehicle, by
atisfying all conditions, even the most disparate, act on a
trailer and shaped for the purpose, which is also extensible and
extending through an integrated frame to the chassis primary.
Once inserted the gripping members through specific hooks, by
means of a hydraulic cylinder or a winch, the machine undergoes a
rotation of at least 90 °, but not bound to other inclinations
necess ary, without limits of inclination, an essential element
not to exceed the overall height of 4 meters height of the road
surface, and the maximum permitted height worldwide.
Subsequently, and of course by means of the hydraulic
cylinder or via a manual winch or winch, the Machine 1 is moved
into position so as to fall in the original shape of the trailer,
both in width, both in he·ight and in length. Obviously; in the
frame of the trailer, there is a mechanism with kinematic
mechanism which is inserted in the slots of the longitudinal
frame for the securing and locking of the machine itself.
According to a variation not shown for the production of
moldings and decorative element s, even with the more complex
2 0 forms, the base of . the machine 1 is constituted by at least one
plane which is .blocked with clashes adjustable. The work piece or
the semi- finished ele ment is always obtained from a known
paralle lepiped block polystyrene EPS or other foamed materials,
placed horizontally. For each longitudinal side is placed a cross
slide through
turbulent kinematic (rails, pads, pulleys and
belts, ball screws, motors) . On the slide is positioned an arm
with two shoulders, rotating. by means of a gear motor carrier
shaped wire "U" to perform the shaping of the cornice and/ or of
the decorative element; on the sled is positi oned �n arm with two
should ers, a carrier die or hot foil pre- shaped, and shaped for
the specific purpose, to perform the grooves dovetail, "T",
cross or hollow circular or semicircular radiuses for housing the
connectors in (PP) polypropylene or corrugated steel for
construction. On the above cross slides can be implemented also
additi onal devices such as electro-spi ndles milling and/ or other
rotating arms and not, load-bearing wires and cutting dies or hot
foil stamping suitably shaped for the purpose, in order to obtain
the decorations monolithic even the most disparate. Everything is
always managed by the CNC system. On the floor of the machine,
not shown but similar to the devices pre viously described, are
placed elect ro-pneumatic cylinders equipped with ball-bearing rod
end, to raise the block from the floor so that the machining tool
is complete, it being under stood that the same spheres will not
interfere with the cutting tools, wire dies, and hot foil
2 0 stamping.
According to a variation application of the lathe not shown,
the CNC allows you to create accurately the various profiles,
providing endless possibilities for aesthetic and architectural
solutions to the designer to enhance the final work, and
capitals, columns, pilasters, eaves string course,
and the
cons ti tu ti ve forms of an architectural facades, doors, windows,
etc. and formwork for any type of bow and time: arches, segmental
cloister vaults,
arches, polycentric and elliptical vaults,
. barrel vaults, and any decorative element also complex and in
many different forms.
On the base of the machine 1, is to have a support tailstock
rotating even in neutral manually movable in the longitudinal
direction, and a fixed support tailstock rotary driveh by a motor
(or by pulleys, belts), through which said mechanism can rotate
around its axis at a predetermined speed depending on the needs
of the element to be produced in a short time with obvious
economies of scale. The tailstocks are constituted by a ring
carrying a series of cone tips which penetra.te into the material
and inhibit slippage of the element semi-synthetic material or
plastic, preferably expanded polystyrene without limit density.
The same purpose can be obtained with a punch shaped hot
depending on the purpose, which penetrates in the block semi -
finished product and of course by friction prevents slippage. On
one longitudinal side there is disposed a cross slide moved
through kinematic .motions described previously (rails, shoes,
pulleys and belt, ball screws, motors). On the slide can be
mounted one or more devices to drill and/ or hot wire described
above. In the drawing is shown a device to cutter mounted on a
three axis mechanism (in addition to the cross table (axes X, Y),
always by means 10 11, 12 exists also the translation in Z); since
-2 6-
the machine is controlled by CNC, the rotation movement can be
continuous and/or interpolated (C axis) with Z, Y, Z.
According to a variation with panel tongued checke rs, and
recesses negative/positive (not illustrate d), this is one of the
many conformations obtainable, more preferably at drafts of two
sides of the panel, characterized by empty and full alternated as
low as 2. 5 centimeter and its possible multiples and submultiples
to obtain perfect joint, superimposition of a plurality of
panels, or the same may have the peculiar characteristic of cross
up to 90° angle to create perfect (from thermal bridges free) for
walls geometry variable double skin insulation, pref er ably
polystyrene EPS; this specific machining is achieved by means of
a frame moved to CNC system on three axes X, Y, Z by means of the
kinematic .mechanisms described, consisting of a support made of
insulating material (for example Bakelite and other insolated) ,
while the same houses and binds through slots placed in multiple
measures that ensure perfect registration of the hot-wire shaped.
The blocking of panels, arranged on the floor of the machine and
locked by clashes recordable (not shown) is penetrated by the hot
2 0 die with sequential action according to the axes Y, Z and then
finally again in Y direction opposite to the initial one. The
movement along X serves to complete the processing of the panels
ICF throughout their length.
The Machine (1) can be combined with a block molding machine
-producing parallelepiped blocks known for its static production
-2 7-
of paralle lepipeds not coplanar in its four longitudinal facades.
In the conventional block machine, the innovation consists in the
laterally
particular frame expandable through hydraulic
cylinders, be introduced in a block molding machine
conventional of the internal structure. On the sides of the
movable frame can be fixed advantageously and easily, via slides,
a series of plates (even only one for the whole surface as shown
in the drawing for simplicity) that realize one of many
conformations (for example the parallelepiped in EPS has the same
fa9ade having the shape of a lady (recesses negative and positive
modular) linear or swing male and female without constraints deep
. into the recesses thus obtained) . In the fixed part opposite· to
the door are fixed a series of plates (even only one for the
whole surface as shown in the drawing for simplicity) that
realize the conformation grooves; in this wall are surrounded and
formed also pushers (known elements) for the 'extraction of block
polystyrene EPS after the expansion has occurred and sintering of
the beads in the EPS through the steam injected through specific
pads micro- perforated modularly integrated into the plates or
modular elements pre-shaped, or the pads may be replaced by
micro-cuts made by laser , obviously necessary for the passage of
steam for the sintering of the block in EPS. The same system
described with the same shape is applied to the floating gate but
without pushers.
After the cycle of expansion and sintering, which lasts about
6/7 minutes, for the outflow of the block in EPS pre-shaped in
the facades block machine is opened, the hydraulic cylin ders open
the frame and the block in EPS is ejected smoothly in order to
then be place in the machine modified in order for the cutting of
the panels in the desired thickness and shape of the dovetails in
both sides.
