Definitions

  • the invention relates to the trimming and cutting of continuous lengths of material, and in particular, to the trimming and cutting of pieces of floor tile in register with embossing thereon from continuously moving lengths of material.
  • the invention has as its primary object the accomplishment of the proper registration of the embossed pattern within the edge limits of the tile shape. This proper registration of the embossed area then provides for continuity of the design between adjacent tiles.
  • the invention further has the object of trimming and cutting continuous lengths of sheet goods with impressions thereon so that the sheet goods may be kept continuously moving through the operating apparatus as the tiles are cut in register with the pattern embossed thereon.
  • the drawing is a schematic side view of the trimming and cutting apparatus for forming individual tiles.
  • the apparatus of the drawing is the structure that will cut in register individual tiles from a continuous flow of sheet material.
  • the sheet material or goods 2 is fed past rollers 4 and 6. These rollers particularly roller 6, provides the embossed pattern on the upper surface of the Patented Jan. 12, 1971 "ice sheet goods.
  • Appropriate coloring apparatus 8 will apply color to the raised areas of the embossing roll so that the embossing roll will in turn emboss and color the depressed areas of the sheet material.
  • the guider device 10 has a fixed base 12, a movable section 14, carrying thereon support rollers 16 and 18.
  • the sheet material passes under roller 14 and over roller 16.
  • Appropriate control means will sense the edge configuration of the sheet material and so control the guider 10 that the lateral displacement of the sheet will be maintained.
  • the lateral displacement of the sheet material is maintained to insure that the longitudinal edges of the sheet material and the individual tiles to be cut therefrom will be in register with the longitudinal edge and cutting surface of the press.
  • the particular guider is conventional in theart and is normally controlled by a photocell sensing system which follows the longitudinal edge of the sheet material being guided.
  • the sheet material 2 then passes onward to a drive assembly 20.
  • a rubber-covered spring bias roll 22 presses on the upper surface of the sheet material. This roll forces the sheet material against a drive roll 24.
  • These two rolls operate as a feed roll structure to feed or meter the sheet material into the press so that the sheet material will be in register with the cutting edges Within the press.
  • the drive shaft 26 of the lower roll 24 is connected to a brake 28 to permanently load the drive structure to eliminate backlash in the various gear trains.
  • a phase shift diflerential 30 is driven directly from the drive 31 of the punch press 32.
  • the diameter of the feed roll 24 ist sized so that the material requirements of the punch press are satisfied with each press stroke. Consequently, the drive of the punch press as it carries the press through one stroke cycle insures that the feed roll 24 provides the material requirements for the die for that one stroke.
  • a photocell structure 34 is used to view the registration marks on the sheet goods. The reading of the register marks by the photocell-electric scanner 34 emits a pulse or signal aseach mark passes.
  • each pulse is compared to a reference obtained from a selection switch 35 geared to the press crankshaft. Any deviation from an in-position relationship initiates correction action to restore the material to the correct position for registration.
  • the signal of scanner 34 and switch 35 are fed to a computer system 35a and compared in the conventional manner. Based on the comparison, a correction signal is fed to the correction motor 36.
  • the comparison system is a conventional electronic circuitry.
  • the positioning of the photo-electric scanner relative to the punch press is such that the register mark should be seen by the photo-electric scanner when the punch press is in a certain point in its cycle. If this condition is met, then the feeding by the feed roll 24 as driven by the punch press power train will provide the proper feeding of the correct amount of material to satisfy the die size of the punch press so that the tiles will be cut in register. If the register mark is not in position by the scanner 34, then a pulse is generated which operates a DC correction motor 36.
  • the DC correction motor 36 is connected to the phase shift differential 30 and provides a correction of drive for the feed roll 24.
  • the use of a phase shift differential with a DC correction motor and a photo-cellelectric scanner is a conventional structure in the art for providing automatic control of a powered system.
  • the sheet material 2 cannot be moving while the punch press is actually cutting the individual tiles from the sheet material, the sheet material otherwise is continuously moving.
  • the continuous infeed of material to the punch press causes a bulgeup 37 of the material between the feed roll and the punch press to compensate for the continuous movement of the Sheet material and the relative intermittent operation of the punch press.
  • the actual time that the sheet material is stationary in the punch press is very small to the time that the material is continuously moving through the punch press.
  • the sheet material is actually stationary in the punch press only during the very last portion of the punch press cycle when the die of the punch press is actually cutting through the sheet material to form the individual tiles.
  • the individually cut tiles 38 then drop from the punch press while the now perforated sheet material 40 passes on as scrap for possible reuse in mixing new material.
