- the device 1 comprises a support comprising a flat table 3 or a cylindrical drum 2; the apparatus 1 also comprises a support 4 for a roll 5 of paper 6 simulated parchment, as well as a cutting tool 7 equipped with a blade 8 and mounted movable relative to the support 2,3.
- a horizontal panel 9 separating the roller 5 from the drum 2 is pierced with a straight slot 10 allowing the passage of the paper 6 unwound from the roll 5 towards the drum and the cutting tool 7 , 8; similarly, a vertical front panel 11 is pierced with a rectilinear slot 12 allowing the passage of masks 13 cut, according to one part less than their outline 14, in the paper 6 by the tool 7, 8, as well as the part 15 of the paper 6 surrounding the masks 13 and forming a "fall".
- the respective axes 16 and 17 of rotation of the drum 2 and the roller 5, are horizontal and parallel; a part of the cylindrical wall with an axis 16 delimiting the hollow drum 2 is pierced with orifices 18 which bring the external face 19 of this wall part into communication with the cavity 20 of the hollow drum; this cavity is connected by a conduit 21 (partially shown) to the suction port of a compressor 22 which, when started, causes a vacuum (relative to the pressure - generally atmospheric - prevailing in the compartment 23 of the device) in the cavity 20; it follows from this depression that the part of the paper strip 6 extending opposite the pierced part of the wall of the drum is pressed and held in place against the external face 19 thereof.
- the cutting tool 7 to precisely and quickly cut a mask from the paper; for this purpose, the blade 8 of the tool is moved relative to the paper following the outline of the mask to be cut; this movement is controlled by a computer, as described in more detail below; the relative movement of the blade 8 and the paper 6 can result from the only movement of the blade 8 and / or of the tool 7, or else of a combined movement of the blade and the paper (and of the rotary drum 2).
- a device 24 for marking visual signs on one face of the mask is also incorporated into the device; this device may include a nozzle 25 for spraying ink onto the paper, or else a tool (not shown) for marking or dry punching of the mask.
- the table top 3 receiving the paper strip is pierced with a multitude of orifices 18 ensuring the same function as that described above concerning the drum, namely ensuring the maintenance of the paper 6 against the external face 26 of the table 3, due to the depression caused on the side of the internal face 27 of the plate 3, in the cavity 20 connected to the vacuum cleaner 22 by the conduit 21.
- the cutting tool 7 is suspended from a gantry 28 mounted movable in translation on rails 29 extending along a horizontal axis 30, along two opposite sides of the rectangular table 3; the tool 7 is also mounted movable in translation relative to the gantry 28, along a horizontal axis 31 perpendicular to the axis 30.
- Actuators allow movement of the cutting blade 8, of the cutting tool 7 equipped with the 8 blade, and of the gantry 28, as a function of control signals delivered by a computer 32 ( Figures 1 and 7).
- the area of the support face of the sheet material against the support (2 or 3) may be less than that of a mask to be produced, in order to increase the compactness of the device 1; in this case, the manufacture of a mask can be obtained by cutting a first portion of the mask, then causing a displacement (advance) of the sheet material relative to the support, then by cutting a second portion of the mask complementary to the first portion.
- the device may include motorized rollers for automatic driving of the paper strip, as the cutting progresses with the cutting tool.
- the footprint of the device will preferably be less than or equal to 10 m.2, in particular less than or equal to 2 or 3 m2.
- the means for moving the cutting tool and / or the paper strip are preferably designed to allow a mask to be cut in less than one or more minutes; preferably the manufacturing time of a mask is in a range from 1 to 120 seconds, more preferably from 1 to 60 seconds; for this purpose, the speeds of movement of the cutting blade and of the paper are maintained in the above ranges; in order to avoid or reduce the tears likely to result from these speeds, the cutting blade is preferably mounted freely pivoting.
- the computer (or electronic unit) 32 is respectively connected to the cutting tool 7 and to the actuators (not shown) allowing the displacement of the tool 7 on the one hand, to a reeling motor 33 roller 5 on the other hand, as well as a motor 34 for driving the vacuum cleaner 22, by means 35 to 37 of electromagnetic connection; these connection means make it possible to route the operating control signals delivered by the unit 32 to these members.
- the unit 32 is also connected by telecommunication means 38 (wired or wireless) to another unit 39 or computer; the latter is connected to a geometric database 40 of glazed parts of vehicles, so that it transmits the coordinates 32 geometrical - in particular those of the contour - of the glazed part in question, after reading these coordinates in the base 40, on request sent by the computer accompanied by identification data of a vehicle and / or of a glazed part determined, the request being transmitted by the means 38.
- telecommunication means 38 wireless or wireless
- a calculation program 41 determines, from these, a two-dimensional mask contour corresponding to this glazed part and records the corresponding geometric data in a database 42 associated with the computer 32.
- another program module of the computer 32 delivers, from the two-dimensional geometric contour data of masks read from the base 42, signals for controlling the movement of the blade of the tool 7 cutting, and if necessary control signals for unwinding the paper web and / or advance and / or back signals for the paper web on its support.
- This distance 43 is generally chosen to be substantially constant over the entire periphery of the glazed part; the value given to this distance will be comparatively higher when - as illustrated in FIG. 6 - the periphery of the wall 49 to be protected is engaged in a profile 52 surrounding the wall; conversely, it will be lower when the glazed part to be protected is immediately adjacent to the wall 53 to be painted, as illustrated in FIG. 5.
- the value of this distance is preferably "adjustable" by an operator entering a value for this purpose in the computer 32; this makes it possible to optimize the shape of the mask as a function of the width of an adhesive tape 54 chosen by the operator to secure the periphery of the mask to the periphery of the corresponding glazed part. Furthermore, the system can control the production by the cutting blade of one or more slots 55 (FIG.
- the masks are made from a thin, light, translucent or transparent sheet material, provided on both sides with good resistance to the penetration of aqueous or oily substances, such as greaseproof paper or plastic material with adequate electrostatic properties (high electrostatic power). As illustrated in FIGS.
- the apparatus comprises a light source 97 emitting an optical control light beam propagating along the axis 98, and further comprises an optical receiver 99 sensitive to the radiation emitted by the source 97, and located on the axis 98 which extends through the paper 6, near its edge; the receiver 99, as well as if necessary, the transmitter 97, is (are) connected (s) to the computer (32 FIG.
- this system allows the control of at least one optical parameter (opacity or presence of marks or notches along the edge) of the paper 6, by transmission of the measurement signals delivered at the output of the sensor 99, to the computer 32, and by comparison of a characteristic value of these measurement signals (amplitude or frequency, for example), with a reference value recorded in a memory associated with the computer.
- the rotation of the drum 2 and that of the roll 5 of paper are controlled to ensure a tensioning of the part of the paper strip 6 extending opposite the cutting member 8, which makes it possible to facilitate a precise cut of the paper.
- the device may include a brake to slow down the rotation of the roller 5.
- the paper tensioning means may also include one (or more) additional roller (s) (not shown) for driving the paper, with an axis parallel to the axes 1, 17, extending along the drum 2, in contact with a generator of the outer casing of the drum 2; these means may also include two rollers disposed between the drum 2 and the roller 5, for example in the vicinity of the slot 10; these rollers extending on either side of the strip 6, respectively in contact with the latter by one of their generatrix, these generatrixes being substantially combined, the braking of the rotation of these rollers makes it possible to tension the part of the strip 6 located between these and the paper drive drum 2.
- the tension of the paper to be cut can also be obtained by virtue of the presence of suction cups and / or of drive rolls (downstream) and of braking (upstream) of the paper.
- the device 1 comprises a support 212 resting on the ground 217 by means of feet 213; of the walls of the support 212 delimit a cavity 216 which is maintained in depression with respect to the ambient medium, by the action of a fan 22 driven in rotation about an axis 219, sucking the air into the cavity 216 and discharging the air according to the arrows 218.
- a bracket 4 fixed to the structure 212 supports a roll 5 of paper 6 rotatably mounted along the axis 17 relative to the support 4.
- the upper walls 202 and 203 of the structure 212 define a longitudinal slot extending parallel to the axis Y; a roller 210 rotatably mounted along an axis 211 parallel to Y, separates this slot into two slots 204 and 205 parallel to the Y axis; this roller, the upper generator of which extends in the extension of the edges of the walls 202, 203, supports the paper 6 in the vicinity of the cutting zone extending on the wall 202, near the slot 204.
- a blade 8 supported by an element 7, is mounted to rotate freely along an axis 200 parallel to a vertical axis Z, and extends above the paper cutting zone; the blade support 7 is mounted movable in translation relative to a support 201 along the axis 200 on the one hand, for allow engagement and disengagement of the blade and paper; the support 201 is mounted movable in translation along an axis parallel to the axis Y on the other hand, relative to the fixed structure 212, by a gantry similar to that illustrated in Figure 2; the blade is thus movable along three axes relative to the support 202, 212.
- a roller 206 is further provided for driving the paper 6 in sliding movement on the walls 202, 203, along an axis parallel to X, cooperating with the roller 210 opposite which it extends; for this purpose the roller 206 is mounted rotatably along an axis 209 parallel to Y, at the end of an arm 207 which is itself articulated along an axis 208 parallel to Y, by an actuator not shown, relative to the fixed structure 202, 203, 212; thanks to this articulation, the roller 206 can pass from a configuration for driving the paper by friction of the latter between the rollers 206 and 210 - one of which is rotated for driving the paper along the axis X -, to a configuration of free sliding of the paper on the support 202, 203, 210 corresponding to the position of the elements 206, 207 shown in dotted lines.
- the retention of the paper in the cutting zone extending under the blade 8 is obtained by the suction of air through slots 204, 205 and by clamping between the rollers 206 and 210, the latter also making it possible to entrain the paper along the X axis.
- the structure 212 further comprises a portion 215 of wall extending the cutting surface 202, which is inclined downward to allow, downstream of the zone 202, the masks 13 and falling paper 15 to fall into a container 214.
- connecting portions at the periphery of a mask makes it possible to keep it integral with the falls until its subsequent separation; this facilitates the expulsion of scraps and masks from the cutting area, and avoids the accumulation of these parts in this area under the effect of suction; these connecting portions are obtained by interrupting the cutting of the paper resulting from a raising of the blade along the axis 200, by an actuator controlled by a cutting control computer (not shown). As illustrated in FIG.
- the length - measured along the contour of the mask 301 - of a portion 300 of connection separating two successive portions 302 of cut contour is much less than the length of each of these portions, in order to facilitate the separation subsequent mask 301 of the fall 304 surrounding it; by way of example, the length of a connecting portion 300 can vary from 0.1 to 3 mm, and the length of each cut portion 302 extending between two connecting portions, can vary from 5 to 100 mm.
- the unit and demand cutting method comprises the following successive operations:
- An initialization step 100 allowing in particular the computer to verify the presence of a determined paper engaged between the drive rollers of the cutting machine;
- step 105 is repeated;
- steps 104 to 106 are replaced by a step of automatic selection of masks to be produced for the vehicle in question, according to a datum (which can be entered on the keyboard of the computer) for locating on the vehicle an impact zone suffered by the vehicle; depending on the position of the impact zone, a program determines the glazed parts close to this zone and for which a mask should be produced; - if the production of masks for another model of vehicle is desired (test 107 - branch 122), the data of the selected masks are recorded and execution is resumed at step 101;
- the command 109 for moving the blade and the paper is then carried out, until the pre-cutting of all the desired masks is obtained; in order to obtain a fast and precise cut without causing tears, the speeds of movement of the blade and of the paper drive rollers are maintained within the ranges indicated above;
- a marking 110 of each mask can be carried out before their evacuation 111 and the stopping of the machine.
