Amrcwevs 3,481,234 RECUTTING OF CYLINDRICAL TUBES INTO A PLURALITY OF TUBES John Whitney Luce, Sr., Maumee, Ohio, assignor to Owens-Illinois, Inc., a corporation of Ohio Filed July 31, 1967, Ser. No. 657,328 Int. Cl. B23b 3/04, 9/00, 5/14 U.S. CI. 8285 9 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION As is well known in the prior art, many categories of cylindrical container bodies, for example, container bodies for frozen citrus concentrate and container bodies for motor oil, may be manufactured expeditiously by continuously winding a multiplicity of layers of various materials, usually including one or more interiorly oriented layers of a sturdy grade of fibreboard, by cutting the wound tube into relatively long length as a part of the spiral or other winding operation, and by recutting such tubes into individual lengths in a subsequent recutting operation. In this operation, the outermost layer of the wound tube is normally a label and, for reasons of attractiveness of appearance, it is important to accurately position or register each label relative to the ends of the ultimate container body with a minimum of wasted material or scrap in the overall operation.
The prior art has tried to obtain the desired accuracy of label registration by providing means to accurately control the position of the main cuts of the continuously wound tube during the winding operation with no regard for continuous control or monitoring over the location of the lines of recutting. This prior art approach to the problem of label registration can be deficient due to the great difiiculty involved in accurately controlling the placement of the main cut during the winding operation, because of the rapid longitudinal movement of the tube, and when, due to difliculties in the recutting operation, the tube being recut is not properly positioned relative to a fixed stop before the recutting operation begins. In the present invention, however, these and other problems associated with controlling label registration in the manufacture of cylindrical container body lengths are overcome :by providing a recutter in which the recutter knives may be longitudinally repositioned before the start of the recutting operation by automatic means which are responsive to the position of a detectable mark on the outside of the tube.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide novel and useful recutting apparatus and method.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide recutting apparatus and method which will accurately perform the recutting operation notwithstanding inaccuracies in the original cutting of the tube being recut.
For a further understanding of the present invention, attention is directed to the following portion of the specification, the drawing and the appended claims.
United States Patent 0:
3,481,234 Patented Dec. 2, 1969 IN THE DRAWING FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a recutting machine embodying the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a control system associated with the machine of FIG. 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In FIG. 1 there is shown a recutting machine having a plurality (shown as 3) of cylindrical mandrels 11 extending horizontally and parallel to one another in cantilever fashion from a common structure 12 and evenly circumferentially spaced from one another. Structure 12 is pivoted for rotation, in intermittent steps, about a central axis equidistant from the longitudinal axes of the mandrels. In operation, a tube T from a spiral winding machine (not shown) is positioned over the mandrel in the uppermost position and against a fixed stop 13 and is recut into a multiplicity of individual lengths (shown as 8) by a longitudinal series of spaced recutter knife assemblies 14. Each recutter knife assembly has a freely rotatable cutting wheel 15 held in a housing 16 and the cutting wheels are urged into and out of cutting contact with tube T by the action of pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders 17. Rotational cutting contact between tube T and the cutting wheels 15 of the cutters is eflt'ected by providing motive means 18 to frictionally rotatingly drive the mandrel 11 which happens to be in the uppermost cutting position. While tube T is being cut, another tube (not shown) may be inserted on the mandrel which will be advanced next to the cutting station and the previously cut tube bodies are stripped from the mandrel which has just passed from the cutting station.
Recutter knife assemblies 14, only 2 of which are shown for the sake of clarity, the rest being indicated by discontinuous circular lines showing the location of the cutting wheels, are slidably attached to a longitudinally extending slide bar 19 by a sliding dovetail type of connection, and, after their positions have been carefully selected prior to start-up of the recutter, they are locked in such positions by conventional fastening devices (not shown). Since recutting machines are normallyemployed to cut container bodies of equal length, the cutter assemblies 14 are spaced evenly along slide bar 19. In this context,.the term spaced evenly is also intended to cover the arrangement where a thin ring of excess trim or scrap material intermediate the ends of the tube is removed :by a pair of cutter wheels spaced very closely together, as at location R of tube T.
Slide bar 19', in turn, is securely attached to a 1ongitudinally extending bar 21 which is slidable longitudinally of its central axis in its upright end supports 22 and 23 under the action of the piston and piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder 24, which is also supported by member 23. The movement of the piston of cylinder 24 back and forth in the cylinder is precisely controlled by a proportional photoelectric hydraulic control system actuated by a detecting device, preferably a photocell 25, which detects the position of a detectable mark M on the tube which bears a known positional relationship to the preferred cutting lines of the tube being recut, for example, the location of a scrap ring or a ring of excess trim material as is explained in US. Patent 3,264,956 to F. G. Glasby et al. If the photocell and the detectable mark are not in radially aligned relationship to one another the photocell will emit a low voltage electrical signal which, as is shown in FIG. 2, is amplified by an amplifier 26 and, as amplified, is impressed upon a servo valve 27 to control the flow of hydraulic fluid between a power unit 28 and cylinder 24. A manual automatic lockout valve 29 may also be provided to disconnect cylinder 24 from 3 automatic operation of the control circuit using photocell 25.
It is believed that the best mode known to me to carry out this invention has been described above in terms sufficiently full, clear, concise and exact as to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the same. It is to be understood, however, that it is within my contemplation that certain modifications of the above-described mode of practicing the invention can be made by a skilled artisan without departing from the scope of the invention and it is, therefore, desired to limit the invention only in accordance with the appended claims.
