Description

FIXING DEVICE FOR ACCURATE POSITIONING OF METAL BAR-SHAPED MATERIALS OF DIFFERENT WIDTH WITH A PRECISE ADJUSTMENT
Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to measuring and keeping the length of metal bar-shaped materials while being cut in a cutting machine.
More specifically, the present invention relates to a fixing device that provides accurate positioning of metal bar-shaped materials of different widths with precise adjustment.

Prior Art
While entering the cutting machine for cutting materials such as cuttable metal alloy materials, especially hardened linear rail, induction hardened shaft, chrome-plated shaft, industrial pipe and metal bar, the distance is adjusted and fixed manually with the help of a mechanical table with its back and forth movement. While manual adjustment is made by the operator, it takes longer than automatic adjustment and is prone to errors.
In addition, since the width of the metal bar materials to be cut can vary, the holes used for fixing the bars are often non-functional. Since the said holes are located right in the middle of the bar, the horizontal back and forth position of the centering pin of the fixing mechanism needs to be adjusted accordingly.
In the patent document KR100883422B1 , a trailer length adjustment device is disclosed in order to control the trailer length in various ways, since the length at which the front extension bar is inserted into the slide hole of the fixing guide is controlled. Here, after the measurement of the material to be cut is done manually, the fixing process is completed. As a result, the absence of a system that is not open to errors, where the measurement and fixation process is done by means of sensors, and that will optimize the time to be spent for the length measurement and fixation processes, necessitated the emergence of the present solution, which is the subject of the invention.

Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention relates to a fixing device (11 ) providing the measurement of the length of the piece to be cut between the centering pin (4) and the movable support piece (8) that automatically drives the rail (9) while the metal bar-shaped materials of different widths are fed towards the cutting unit, at the same time is equipped with that allows the horizontal position of the centering pin (4) to be adjusted regarding to the width of the rail (9), thus providing the necessary centering on the rail (9) and keeping the rail (9) fixed during cutting.
The fixing device (1 1 ); allow the position of the said centering pin (4) in the x-axis to be adjusted regarding to the width of the rail (9) pieces of different widths for the metal bar-shaped rail (9) structures, which have holes (10) on them at certain intervals, can be cut precisely by adjusting their length and thus ensuring the centering of the centering pin (4) on the rail (9) and keeping the rail (9) fixed during cutting; it comprises the following components
- a linear group (L) which has the centering pin (4) on it and movable forward on the x-axis,
- a position detection sensor (6) that, by checking the rail (9) width information from a system, transmits information to the system for fixing the linear group (L) or enables at least one warning unit to warn the operator when the linear group (L) brings the centering pin (4) into line with the center position of the rail (9).
An automatic feeding system/unit is used to convey cuttable metal alloy materials, especially materials such as hardened linear rail, induction hardened shaft, chrome plated shaft, industrial pipe and metal bar to the cutting machine for cutting. The fixing device (11 ), which is the subject of the present invention, is fixed on the automatic feeding unit (7) of a cutting machine.

Subsequently, the linear group (L) carrying the centering pin (4) is moved forward or backward, automatically or manually, with the help of a motor. There is a handle (2) structure on the linear group (L) to facilitate the manual back and forth motion control of the linear group (L). The operator can easily control the linear group (L) by holding this handle (2) part. A position detection sensor (6) located on the fixing device (11 ) controls the width information of the rail (9) to be cut, coming from the machine system, in the appropriate position, that is, in case the centering pin (4) is over the middle/central point of the rail width, the linear group (L) it automatically fixes it in its position, and in its manual configuration, it warns the operator by turning on the warning light (5) or activating any other warning unit. Other warning units mentioned; may be in the form of audible or vibratory warning mechanisms or combinations of sound, light and vibration stimuli. The position detection sensor (6) mentioned here is preferably a linear potentiometer and is configured to detect the position information of the centering pin (4). The centering pin (4), which is brought to the accurate position in the manual embodiment of the invention, is fixed in its position by the operator tightening the bolt (1 )-
After determining the position of the centering pin (4) on the x-axis regarding to the width of the rail (9) to be cut; the automatic feeding unit (7) feeds the rail (9) to be cut to the cutting stone in the cutting machine by pushing it from behind with the movable support piece (8). The laser distance sensor (3) detects the first hole (10) on the piece to be cut while the automatic feeding is being made towards the cutting machine. The centering pin (4) performs the fixing of the rail (9) tightly by applying pressure to the connection hole of the part with a pneumatic work element in the vertical direction. Meanwhile, the length of the piece of rail (9) to be cut between the centering pin (4) and the moving support piece (8) that automatically drives the rail (9) to be cut is measured. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the geometry of the said centering pin (4) is conical so that the centering pin (4) can more easily fit into the hole (10) on the rail (9).
