Definitions

  • the disclosure is directed to a method and apparatus for transverse cutting of product material via an orbital saw assembly.
  • the orbital saw assembly includes a rotating saw head with at least one rotating saw blade.
  • a linear-rotary motor drives a saw blade axially and rotationally during the cut cycle as the material is being moved (e.g., conveyed on a conveyor) toward the saw blade in a direction parallel to and offset from the center axis of the linear-rotary motor.
  • a separate motor drive assembly is used for orbital motion of the orbital saw assembly.
  • the production of consumer paper products such as bathroom tissue, kitchen (i.e., paper) towels, wet-wipes and the like involves cutting ribbon or logs or the web material into smaller sized product formats (e.g., rolls, wet-wipe flat packs) suitable for retail.
  • the saw blade(s) that is/are used to cut the material are set with a skew angle for each specific application so that the blades travel in a desired motion relative to the product as it is being conveyed through the cutting zone of the saw assembly.
  • Conventional techniques require a complex system of pivot points to handle the skew angle of the saw blade, to ensure that the machine direction motion is correct, and to handle the machine direction positioning of the blade as the head rotates.
  • conventional saw head configurations can require six pivot points, as well as a motor for driving (by way of multiple belts and gearboxes) the saw blades.
  • the blades are thus rotated by a separately mounted motor driven through a center shaft by a variety of gearboxes and belts.
  • various fasteners such as bolts, screws and/or pin settings, which reduces efficiency and increases downtime.
  • the above-noted complexity of conventional systems results in multiple wear points, which requires increased maintenance, and serves to increase mass and others stresses due to the type and/or amount of components that are needed to achieve the complex motion. For example, when a cut length change greater than 10 mm is desired, the saw must be stopped and an operator must enter the perimeter guarding to physically tilt the saw head to a new skew angle, representing both a safety concern and a production inefficiency.
  • the disclosure that follows below describes a machine and methods that avoids the above-noted problems in conventional techniques.
  • the machine and methods described herein provides for the elimination of pivot points, gearboxes, belts and the like in connection with the driving of a saw blade used in a saw assembly for paper conversion applications.
  • pivot points, gearboxes, belts, and the like can be eliminated by utilizing a linearrotary motor to perform the necessary movement of the saw blade.
  • the linear-rotary motor functions to move the saw blade both axially and rotationally, thereby serving to eliminate the pivot points, and to eliminate the multiple gearboxes and belts required by conventional systems.
  • a linear-rotary motor is mounted on a frame arm of the saw head, and is configured to control axial and rotational movement of a saw blade operatively coupled to the linear-rotary motor.
  • the saw blade may be operatively coupled to the linearrotary motor with a saw blade shaft and/or by way of a separate arbor.
  • the saw blade shaft and/or arbor may be operatively coupled to the linear-rotary motor via a coupling.
  • the saw blade shaft and/or arbor may be journaled in and configured for linear and rotary motion in a bearing housing mounted on the saw head frame arm.
  • the linearrotary motor and linear and rotary driven saw blade eliminates the need to provide for skew angles and complex pivot points.
  • the conventional machine skew angle can be replicated by moving the linear-rotary motor axially in the cut zone during cutting.
  • the saw blade rotates via a rotary function of the linear-rotary motor, thereby eliminating the need for gearboxes, belts, and the like. While the saw blade is in midst of product cutting, the motor axially moves the saw blade in a direction of conveyance of the product being cut. After the cutting is complete, the blade may continue to move at a (e.g., mathematically calculated) profile to ensure that the blade does not tug on the cut product during exit of the cut product, thereby improving the quality of the cut over conventional techniques, while also improving overall costs, efficiency and safety.

  • the saw head 104 may be a rotating saw head providing orbital motion of the saw assemblies with the saw assemblies alternatingly moving through first and second cutting cycles relative to material to be cut which is advanced toward the respective saw assembly on a conveyor 108.
  • the saw head 104 may rotate in a manner to move the first saw assembly 102a towards the material to be cut and the conveyor 108 and the second saw assembly 102b away from the material to be object and the conveyor.
  • the saw head 104 may move the second saw assembly 102b towards the material to be cut and the conveyor 108 and the first saw assembly 102a away from the material to be cut and the conveyor.
  • the rotating saw head 104 can rotate about its own shaft and center axis independent of the rotation of the saw blades 106 with a separate motor drive system (not shown).

While the drawings show a first linear-rotary motor 102a on the saw head 104 and a second linear-rotary motor 102b on the saw head spaced from the first linear-rotary motor, the saw head may have one linear-rotary motor.
  • each saw blade 106 rotates via a rotary function of the respective linear-rotary motor 102a, 102b connected thereto, and is moved axially via an axial function of the respective linear-rotary motor 102a, 102b.
  • the blade 106 may be supported by way of a separate arbor or a shaft 109 that is journaled in a housing 110 of a frame arm 1 12 of the saw head 104.

  • the coupling 122 may allow for change-out of the blade 106.
  • the saw blade 106 may also be removable from a distal end of the saw blade shaft with a blade fastener 124.
  • the saw blade shaft 109, the motor shaft 120 and the motor center axis may be co-axial.
  • the saw blade may rotate about the center axis of the saw blade shaft 109 and the center axis of the motor shaft 120 when the motor is energized. Accordingly, the motor shaft 120 may move between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the motor along the center axis of the motor.
  • the motor shaft 120 When the motor shaft 120 is in the retracted position, the motor shaft extends from the motor a first distance, and wherein the motor shaft is in the extended position, the motor shaft extends from the motor a second distance that is greater than the first distance.

Moreover, the saw blade can be coated with a material (such as a dry film lubricant or the like) to reduce the friction coefficient between the blade 106 and the product material, increase service life, improve cut quality, decrease dust and eliminate product contamination.
  • the saw blades can be positioned to be offset from one another in the axial direction, or to reside in the same plane with respect to the axial direction.

This includes, for example, setting the desired axial speed and rotational speed. These functions can all be controlled via the servo drive and controller.
