Rod Chamfer

Photo's and Video are available for this project.  CLICK HERE

Through a hopper, this machine takes plastic rods of various diameters and shapes and creates a chamfered (tapered) tip.

   

Here is a view of the feeding and clamping mechanism.  Once chamfered, the rod drops through the machine to a bin.  Further automation will have the hopper fed by a conveyor from an upstream process and completed rods would be carried off to packaging by a secondary conveyor.

   

Pictured here is the cutter which is attached to a guided cylinder.  The cutter is driven by a 1/2 H.P. brushless DC motor while the power transmission is handled by a recirculating ball spline.
