Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a winding and roll-forming apparatus for forming rolls of material from associated continuous or interleaved webs, and more particularly to a high-speed roll-forming apparatus including improved drive systems for indexing and driving the spindles of the apparatus upon which rolls of material are formed.
  • winding and roll-forming devices are known which are configured to receive endless webs of material; effect separation into continuous or interleaved webs, and subsequent rolling of the webs into individual rolls.
  • These types of devices are advantageously employed for handling webs of material in the forms of plastic bags or the like, and can be operated to form continuous webs with the bags (or other like elements) joined end-to-end, or webs in which the bags are separated (at suitable perforations) into discrete elements, and interleaved to form a web.
  • one or more conveyor assemblies effect formation of the continuous or interleaved webs, with an intermittently indexed turret assembly employed for formation of each web into an individual roll.
  • the turret assembly includes a plurality of rotatable roll-forming spindles mounted thereon, with the apparatus configured to direct each web onto a respective one of the spindles, which are then rotatably driven so that the web of material is rolled thereabout. As the turret assembly is indexed, successive ones of the spindles are positioned for respectively receiving successive ones of the webs of material.
  • the turret assembly Upon completion of the rolling of each web of material on a respective one of the driven spindles, the turret assembly is indexed to present the completed roll to a push-off mechanism, which slides the completed roll off of the respective spindle. Continued indexing of the turret assembly again positions that spindle for receiving another web of material, and the cycle is repeated in a like fashion.
  • the rolls can be funk directly on the spindle, or on cores placed on the spindle prior to starting a new roll.
  • indexing movement of the turret assembly has been effected through a mechanical drive train connected to the conveyor which supplies webs of material to the roll-forming spindles.
  • the turret rotates at a speed proportional to the line speed.
  • such an arrangement does not offer the desired level of versatility required for optimal handling of various types of material under varying handling conditions.
  • removal of a completed roll of material is effected by a push-off mechanism which engages the completed roll as the turret is indexed to present the associated spindle.
  • This push-off mechanism displaces the rolled material axially of the spindle, but for certain materials (such as low density plastic film) the completed roll undesirably tends to adhere to the spindle. While attempts have been made to provide lubricant on the surface of each spindle, such lubricant can be messy, and can inhibit the desired adherence of the web material to each spindle during roll formation (i.e., the spindle spins freely inside of the roll).
  • the present invention is directed to a roll-forming apparatus which provides improved performance over previously known constructions for enhanced versatility, reliability and operating efficiency.
  • a roll-forming apparatus embodying the principles of the present invention has been specifically configured for enhanced efficiency and versatility in the formation of rolls from elongated webs of material, which may be either continuous, or comprise interleaved discrete elements.
  • the apparatus includes improved drive arrangements for roll-forming spindles of the apparatus, including a spindle-reversing drive for facilitating removal of completed rolls.
  • a spindle-supporting turret of the apparatus is provided with an intermittent drive arrangement, separate from other drive systems of the apparatus, thereby further enhancing the efficiency of the apparatus under varying operating conditions, and for enhanced versatility in the handling of different types of material.
  • the present roll-forming apparatus is configured for forming individual rolls of material from associated webs of the material.
  • the apparatus includes a conveyor for sequentially receiving the associated webs, and a conveyor drive operatively connected to the conveyor for continuously driving the conveyor, and for continuously advancing each web of material through the conveyor.
  • the apparatus includes a turret assembly positioned downstream of the conveyor for sequentially receiving the webs of material therefrom.
  • the turret assembly includes a rotatable turret having a plurality of roll-forming spindles mounted thereon. Each of the spindles is rotatable relative to the turret, with the turret being configured for intermittent, indexed rotation so that the spindles are successively presented to receive respective ones of the webs of material thereon for formation of the rolls.
  • the apparatus includes a transfer drive which drives one of the spindles (i.e., the transfer spindle) at substantially the same speed as the conveyor, as a leading edge of one of the webs of material is transferred onto that one of the spindles.
  • the transfer drive is mechanically driven by the conveyor drive, thus assuring that the surface speed of the spindle is the same as the speed of the conveyor which transfers the web of material to the spindle.
  • a speed-adjustable electric motor may be employed for driving the spindle onto which the web of material is transferred, with the electric motor adjusted to provide a spindle surface speed equal to the conveyor speed.
  • the winding drive comprises a torque-controlled electric motor, the output of which can be selectively varied as the roll of material is formed on the associated spindle.
  • an arrangement is provided for measuring the diameter of the roll as it is formed on each spindle, with a control arrangement provided for selectively varying the torque output of the winding drive motor in relation to the diameter of the roll of material being formed.
  • the drive for driving each spindle during web transfer comprises a transfer drive belt
  • the drive for effecting roll winding on each spindle comprises a winding drive belt.
  • the arrangement of the drive belts is such that as each spindle is moved from a transfer position to a winding position by indexing movement of the associated turret, each spindle is moved out of driven engagement with the transfer drive belt and into driven engagement with the winding drive belt.
  • This desirably straightforward drive arrangement obviates the need for driving the spindles with the typical externally toothed timing belts, and thus, each spindle preferably comprises a non-toothed driven surface (either smooth or knurled) engageable with the transfer and winding drive belts.
  • indexed movement of the turret assembly is effected by the provision of a servo-controlled electric motor, thus providing the necessary intermittent rotation of the turret assembly independently of other drive systems of the apparatus.
  • the speed of rotation of the turret is adjustable to accommodate different materials or operating modes.
  • indexing movement of the turret assembly presents the completed roll to a push-off mechanism.
  • the present apparatus preferably includes an arrangement for driving each spindle in a direction opposite to that in which it is rotated during roll-formation, to thereby facilitate removal of the roll of material from the spindle.
  • the spindle is briefly driven in a reverse direction, thus slightly “unscrewing" the roll of material prior to its axial displacement from the spindle by the push-off mechanism.
  • apparatus 10 is configured generally in accordance with U.S. Patent No. 5,197,727, to Lotto et al., and as such, the apparatus is configured to form individual rolls of material from elongated webs of material at high speed.
  • each web of material comprises a plurality of elements, such as bags.
  • reference to continuous webs of material contemplates those webs which may include individual elements joined in end-to-end relation, such as by perforated portions.
  • the present apparatus can be employed for handling webs of material which comprise a plurality of discrete, interleaved elements. For either application, the webs of material are formed from an endless web supplied to the apparatus.
  • the present winding apparatus can be configured for roll-formation of a wide variety of goods, including folded banners, signs, bumper stickers, pre-cut tape segments, tubes of plastic or other material, woven products such as pre-cut bandages, as well as bags of widely varying sizes.
  • Roll-forming apparatus 10 includes a frame 12 which carries an infeed conveyor 14, a slow-down conveyor 16 positioned downstream thereof, and a turret assembly 18 positioned downstream of the conveyor 16.
  • the turret assembly includes a rotatable turret 19 driven for intermittent, indexed rotation, and a plurality of spindles 20, respectively designated 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d, with respect to the indexed positions of the spindles.
  • spindle 20a is positioned for transfer of a web of material from slow-down conveyor 16, and thus, is referred to as the transfer spindle. After transfer is effected, the spindle is rotatably indexed (clockwise, referring to the orientation of FIG.
  • spindle 20b 1) to position of spindle 20b, where driven rotation of the spindle effects winding of the web of material, and roll-formation.
  • the spindle in the position of 20b is the so-called winding spindle.
  • indexing rotation of turret 19 positions each spindle in the position of spindle 20c, at which push-off of the completed roll is effected.
  • each spindle is positioned in an inactive position, represented by spindle 20d, prior to further indexing of each spindle to the position of spindle 20a for effecting web transfer.
  • an endless web of material is first received by infeed conveyor 14 between a pair of opposed infeed nip rolls 26.
  • the endless web of material is directed from nip rolls 26 to a pair of opposed separator rolls 28, which can be selectively moved toward each other for operative engagement with the endless web.
  • Separator rolls 28 are operated at a peripheral speed greater than the peripheral speed of infeed nip rolls 26, with engagement of the separator rolls with the endless web effecting subdivision of the web.
  • separator rolls 28 are operated so as to separate each "connected" web of material from the endless web being supplied to the apparatus. Perforations in the endless web, such as between the individual bags or other elements, facilitate separation of the webs of material, which are then directed through the apparatus to slow-down conveyor 16.
  • the infeed conveyor 14 may include one or more upper and lower conveyor belts or relatively narrow "ropes", with the infeed conveyor driven by an associated infeed conveyor drive 32.
  • the slow-down conveyor 16 includes a pair of opposed slow-down nip rolls 36 at the upstream end of the conveyor, with a nose roll 38 positioned at the downstream end of the conveyor for cooperation with winding spindle 20b, as will be further described.
  • slow-down conveyor 16 may include one or more upper and lower conveyor belts or ropes 40 for conveyance of the web material therethrough.
  • Interleaving of individual elements is effected by the provision of a blow-down tube 42, a blow-up tube 44, and a vacuum box 46.
  • Interleaving i.e., overlapping of the discrete elements
  • Interleaving is effected during transfer of a discrete web element from conveyor 14 to conveyor 16.
  • blow-down tube 42 is operated to direct pressurized air against the upper surface of the web element.
  • slack created in the web element results in a trailing portion of the element moving downwardly under the influence of the air from blow-down tube 42.
  • pressurized air from blow-down tube 42 urges the trailing portion of the element onto vacuum box 46.
  • the vacuum box includes a foraminous surface which acts to hold the trailing portion of the web element in sliding disposition on the vacuum box.
  • Slow-down conveyor nip rolls 36 continue to draw the web element into the slow-down conveyor, even as it is held downwardly by the vacuum box 46. Concurrently, the next successive web element is being moved out of infeed conveyor 14 toward the slow-down conveyor 16. Because the trailing portion of the previous web element is held downwardly on vacuum box 46, and by virtue of the speed differential of the infeed and slow-down conveyors, overlapping or interleaving of the leading and trailing portions of the successive web elements is effected. The desired interleaving is enhanced by direction of pressurized air from blow-up tube 44 against the lower surface of the leading portion of the successive web element, with the flow of air from blow-down tube 42 interrupted. As the overlapped portions of the successive web elements are drawn into slow-down nip rolls 36, the cycle of interleaving is repeated through the coordinated action of blow-down tube 42, vacuum box 46, and blow-up tube 44.
  • conveyor drive 48 comprises a speed-adjustable electric motor, preferably comprising a variable frequency AC drive such as comprising a Saftronics Model No. PCU40P701, available from Saftronics of Fort Meyers, Florida, and a standard AC induction motor.
  • the reference speed input to the variable frequency AC drive is selected by a relay that is controlled by an associated programmable logic controller of the apparatus, a General Electric/Fanuc Series 90-30.
  • an associated programmable logic controller of the apparatus a General Electric/Fanuc Series 90-30.
  • the selector switch of the controller is turned to the "interleaf mode”
  • the speed reference comes from a potentiometer mounted on the operator panel.
  • the amount of interleaf is controlled by the potentiometer by dialing down the speed of the variable frequency AC drive, and therefore the speed of the slow-down conveyor. This adjustment arrangement is infinitely variable for selecting the degree of interleaving of the web elements.
  • the logic controller switches a relay so that the slow-down conveyor drive 48 gets its speed reference from the infeed conveyor drive 32 through an output on the infeed drive which is proportional to its speed.
  • the infeed drive 32 may include components as those described above for the slow-down conveyor drive.
  • the slow-down conveyor drive 32 follows the infeed drive exactly, or can be offset slightly through drive parameter settings, a fraction of a percent or higher or lower. This speed differential can be desirable for some specific film composition or thickness applications, but is ordinarily not necessary. While the use of variable frequency AC drives is presently preferred, it is to be understood that other types of drives capable of being coordinated within one-tenth of one percent could be alternately employed.
  • transfer of the leading edge of each web of material from the slow-down conveyor 16 to the transfer spindle 20a is effected by the cooperating action of a movable air horn 52, and a movable kick roll 54.
  • the spindle 20a i.e., the transfer spindle
  • the spindle 20a is positioned as shown, with indexed rotation of turret 19 stopped so that the spindle is held in position.
  • the spindle 20a is driven to rotate at a speed which is the same as the speed of the slow-down conveyor 16, thus facilitating transfer of the leading edge of a web of material to the transfer spindle.
  • the air horn 52 is rotated to a position to generally cover the transfer spindle.
  • the kick roll 54 is moved upwardly to urge the conveyor belt 40 of the slow-down conveyor 16 upwardly toward the transfer spindle 20a.
  • pressurized air is directed from the air horn onto the conveyor belt, thereby blowing the leading edge of the web of material generally upwardly onto the transfer spindle, with the vacuum drawn therethrough facilitating gripping of the leading edge of the web.
  • rotation of the transfer spindle effects initiation of roll-formation, with subsequent indexing movement of the turret 19 moving the transfer spindle to the winding spindle position for winding of the web of material received from slow-down conveyor 16.
  • the present invention employs a drive arrangement for the transfer spindle which acts to drive the spindle at substantially the same speed as the slow-down conveyor, as the leading edge of the web of material is transferred onto the spindle. While it is presently preferred that the transfer spindle be driven at the same speed as the slow-down conveyor, some applications may call for the speed of the spindle to vary slightly from the conveyor speed.
  • this drive arrangement for the transfer spindle comprises a transfer drive belt 56 driven via a jackshaft 58 and an intermediate drive belt 60, which in turn are driven by the slow-down conveyor drive 48.
  • the speed of transfer drive belt 56 is directly proportional to the speed of conveyor drive 48, thus effecting coordination of the speed of the transfer spindle with the speed of the slow-down conveyor 16.
  • the transfer spindle 20a is in driven engagement with the transfer drive belt 56 when the spindle is in the transfer position.
  • driven rotation of the transfer spindle is preferably effected mechanically from the conveyor drive 48
  • a speed-adjustable motor for effecting driven rotation of the transfer spindle.
  • This can be effected by the use of a variable frequency AC drive system, operated to control the speed of the transfer spindle by following the speed of the slow-down conveyor 16. Again, it is desired to effect control of the transfer spindle such that its peripheral or surface speed is the same as the surface speed of the slow-down conveyor 16.
  • Indexing movement of turret assembly 18 is effected to move the transfer spindle to the position of winding spindle 20b. Driven rotation of the winding spindle effects roll-formation as the web of material is received from slow-down conveyor 16.
  • the present apparatus includes a drive arrangement for the winding spindle which is separate from the slow-down conveyor drive 48, as well as separate from other drives of the apparatus.
  • the drive arrangement includes a winding drive belt 64, and a winding drive motor 66 which effects driven movement of the drive belt 64, and thus driven rotation of the winding spindle 20b.
  • Idler 68 maintains the desired level of tension in the winding drive belt 64.
  • indexing movement of each spindle moves each spindle out of driven engagement with transfer drive belt 56, and into driven engagement with winding drive belt 64.
  • this preferred arrangement obviates the need for use of externally toothed timing belts, thus permitting the spindles to be provided with non-toothed driven surfaces. Smooth, or knurled, drive surfaces for the spindles can be employed.
  • Drive of the winding arrangement can be effected through the use of a suitable electronic torque-controlled electric motor drive, such as a servo-drive operated in torque mode.
  • a suitable electronic torque-controlled electric motor drive such as a servo-drive operated in torque mode.
  • a Danfoss Model 176B4000, DC 4 quadrant drive operating in torque mode available from Danfoss Corp., of Rockford, Illinois.
  • the motor is a one-third horsepower Bodine DC motor.
  • a control arrangement is preferably provided for measuring the diameter of the roll of material being formed on the spindle 20b as the spindle is driven by winding motor 66, with the control arrangement preferably selectively varying the torque output of the drive motor in relation to the diameter of the roll of material being formed.
  • nose roll 38 of slow-down conveyor 16 is mounted on an elongated pivot arm 70 which in turn is operatively connected to a slide control potentiometer 72.
  • a potentiometer is employed for setting the starting level torque of the motor 66, with the slide potentiometer 72 provided to measure the diameter of the roll being formed as the potentiometer is operated by movement of pivot arm 70. As the roll being formed gets larger, the torque level goes up from the additional input. The amount of influence that the slide potentiometer 72 effects is adjusted by an associated potentiometer on the operator panel.
  • Indexing movement of the turret assembly 18 is preferably effected by a drive arrangement separate from the slow-down conveyor drive 48.
  • an indexing motor 74 operates through a primary drive 75, a jackshaft 76, and a secondary drive 78 to intermittently rotate turret 19 so that spindles 20 are indexed in 90° increments between their various operating positions.
  • an Indramat DKC servo-drive module with an Indramat style MKDO70 motor, available from the Indramat Division of the Rexroth Corporation, of Wood Dale, Illinois have been employed.
  • the DKC series drive allows pre-entered motion profiles to be executed from simple logic level inputs.
  • the notable advantage of using a servo-motor is that no additional mechanical clamping of the turret 19 is required when the turret is in its stopped position.
  • the current control system permits selection of one of three different turret index speeds via a selector switch. The possible turret index speeds are unlimited.
  • the precise positioning capabilities of the servo-drive assures that the indexed position of the turret is exact, and repeated as the spindles are intermittently rotated.
  • the turret assembly 18 is indexed so that the completed roll is presented to push-off palm 22.
  • the completed roll of material is axially displaced from the spindle by the push-off palm 22.
  • the present apparatus is configured to effect reverse rotation of the spindle 20c, thus acting to "unscrew" the completed roll from the spindle.
  • This driving of the spindle in a direction opposite to that in which the spindle is rotating during roll-formation is effected by spindle reversing motor 82 operating through spindle reversing drive belt 84.
  • spindle reversing drive belt 84 is positioned to drivingly engage each spindle as each spindle is moved into position of spindle 20c.
  • the spindle reversing motor 82 is operated intermittently, and for only a brief period of time, in order to effect slight reverse rotation of the spindle 20c. Ordinarily, no more than several reverse rotations of the spindle 20c are required for facilitating removal of the roll of material therefrom.
