Zverovshchikov UDC 621.93.022-272 The operation of cutting the ends of springs wound from wires larger than 8 mm diameter is time consuming and low in productivity. For example, manual oxygen cutting was formerly used at the Blago- veshchensk Fittings Plant for cutting the ends of springs. The Penza branch of the Central Design Bureau for Fittings has designed, manufactured, and in- stalled a special machine at this plant for cutting the ends of springs. This machine can process springs with ends sheared on a press as well as springs with unfinished ends. The machine {Fig. 1) consists of a welded frame 1 on which a self-centering chuck 3 and flywheel 4 are mounted. These parts are used for initial diameter setting and clamping of the springs. The electro- magnetic valve assembly 9 automatically controls the oxygen input. The supports 5, 6 carry slides on which two machine cutting blowpipes 11 are mounted. The blowpipes are positioned to suit the spring di- ameter by means of a rack drive and a knob 10. An electric drive system consisting of an input block 8, control system for rotation speed, and a dc electric motor 2 TI - Machine for cutting the ends of springs JF - Chemical and Petroleum Engineering DO - 10.1007/BF01145607 DA - 2005-01-27 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/machine-for-cutting-the-ends-of-springs-ewdaESZaBA SP - 270 EP - 271 VL - 10 IS - 3 DP - DeepDyve ER -
