The multiple head units are mounted on a rotary table (5) which is supported on the box (1) with the help of support bars (18). The rotary table (5) rotate with the help of servo geared motor or pneumatic rotary table, (5) each of the head units is also provided with pressing cylinder (21) pneumatically or hydraulically jaw opening cylinder (22) for holding the unit at the time of receiving the unfinished rubber cot arbour, feeding of the unfinished rubber cot arbour to the grinding head and for delivering the finished rubber cot arbour to the carriage (8) or finished rubber cot arbour storage unit.
The rotary table (5) is a rotate with the help of servo geared motor or pneumatic/ hydraulic rotary table (5) in the desired manner, work performing sequential operations of the Centre Less Rubber cot arbour holding & guiding device provided with multiple holding units.
The multiple head units provided on the rotary table may be two, three, four, six, eight or even more number depending on the size and capacity of the automatic rubber cot arbour grinding/buffing machine.
1. Sequence of operations in the multiple head units used for centre less rubber cot arbour holding and guiding device given as under:- Two head units one is use for receiving unfinished rubber cot arbour from the carriage, while the other is feeding the unfinished rubber cot arbour to the grinding head. After grinding the second unit will be delivering the finished rubber cot arbour and then moving to the position of first head unit for receiving the unfinished rubber cot arbour form the carriage. Thereby increasing two times in comparison with the single head unit of the automatic rubber cot arbour grinding/buffing machine.
2. Sequence of operation of the centre less rubber cot arbour holding and guiding device having the three head units is as under:-
First head unit is receiving unfinished rubber cot arbour form the carriage
Second unit is feeding the unfinished rubber cot arbour to the grinding head
Third unit is delivering the finished rubber cot arbour to the carriage and- then replacing the position of first unit. Thereby increasing three times in comparison with the single head unit of the automatic rubber cot arbour grinding/buffing machine. 3. Sequence of operation of the centre less rubber cot arbour holding and guiding device having the four head units is as under: -
First head unit is receiving unfinished rubber cot arbour form the carriage
Second unit is waiting with the unfinished rubber cot arbour grinding/buffing to the grinding head/unit. Third unit is feeding the unfinished rubber cot arbour to the grinding head
Four unit is delivering the finished rubber cot arbour to the carriage and then replacing the position of first unit for receiving unfinished arbour from carriage. Thereby increasing four times in comparison with the single head unit of the automatic rubber cot arbour grinding/buffing machine.
4. Sequence of operation of the centre less rubber cot arbour holding and guiding device having the six head units is as under:-
First head unit is receiving unfinished rubber cot arbour form the carriage. Second, third and four units are waiting with the unfinished rubber cot arbour to be fed to the grinding head/unit. Fifth unit is feeding the unfinished rubber cot arbour to the grinding head. Sixth unit is delivering the finished rubber cot arbour to the carriage and then replacing the position of first unit. Thereby further increasing six times in comparison with the single head unit of the automatic rubber cot arbour grinding/buffing machine.
5. Sequence of operation of the centre less rubber cot arbour holding and guiding device having the eight head units is as under:-
First head unit is receiving unfinished rubber cot arbour form the carriage.
Second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth units are waiting with the unfinished rubber cot arbour to be fed to the grinding head/unit. Seventh unit is feeding the unfinished rubber cot arbour to the grinding head.
Eighth unit is delivering the finished rubber cot arbour to the carriage and then replacing the position of first unit. Thereby further increasing six times in comparison with the single head unit of the automatic rubber cot arbour grinding/buffing machine.
In the same manner by increasing the numbers of head units (16), the performance of the automatic rubber cot arbour grinding/buffing machine can be further increased.
