Abstract

Abstract A mandrel cleaning device capable of automatically performing cleaning operation in an extrusion press of the type which has a pressurizing stem for pressing a billet in a container toward a die and a mandrel axially slidable in and relative to the pressurizing stem for determining the internal shape of a hollow extruding material, the mandrel cleaning device having a rotary mechanism for rotating the mandrel about its axis, a grinder mechanism adapted to grind a tip portion at the fore end of the mandrel, and a transfer mechanism for moving the grinder mechanism toward and away from the mandrel.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 97 words
A mandrel cleaning device for an extrusion press including a pressurizing stem for pressing a billet in a container toward a die and a mandrel axially slidable in and relative to said pressurizing stem for determining the internal shape of a hollow extruding material, comprising: rotary drive means for rotating said mandrel about the axis thereof; grinder means for grinding an exterior tip portion at the fore end of said mandrel simultaneously with rotation of said mandrel by said rotary driven means; and transfer means for selectively moving said grinder means toward and away from said mandrel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 97 words
A mandrel cleaning device for an extrusion press including a pressurizing stem for pressing a billet in a container toward a die and a mandrel axially slidable in and relative to said pressurizing stem for determining the internal shape of a hollow extruding material, comprising: rotary drive means for rotating said mandrel about the axis thereof; grinder means for grinding an exterior tip portion at the fore end of said mandrel simultaneously with rotation of said mandrel by said rotary driven means; and transfer means for selectively moving said grinder means toward and away from said mandrel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 118 words
A mandrel cleaning device for an extrusion press including a pressurizing stem for pressing billet in a container toward a die and a mandrel axially slidable in and relative to said pressurizing stem for determining the internal shape of a hollow extruding material, comprising: rotary drive means for rotating said mandrel about the axis thereof; grinder means for grinding an exterior tip portion at the fore end of said mandrel simultaneously with rotation of said mandrel by said rotary drive means; a scalping ring axially slidably fitted on said mandrel; a back-up mechanism for backing up said scalping ring; and transfer means for selectively moving said grinder means and said back-up mechanism toward and away from said mandrel.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 118 words
A mandrel cleaning device for an extrusion press including a pressurizing stem for pressing billet in a container toward a die and a mandrel axially slidable in and relative to said pressurizing stem for determining the internal shape of a hollow extruding material, comprising: rotary drive means for rotating said mandrel about the axis thereof; grinder means for grinding an exterior tip portion at the fore end of said mandrel simultaneously with rotation of said mandrel by said rotary drive means; a scalping ring axially slidably fitted on said mandrel; a back-up mechanism for backing up said scalping ring; and transfer means for selectively moving said grinder means and said back-up mechanism toward and away from said mandrel.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 52 words
A mandrel cleaning device as set forth in claim 2, further comprising an electric control circuit including a preset counter for actuating said rotary drive means, said grinder means, said back-up mechanism and said transfer means at predetermined time intervals of a predetermined number of cycles of operation of said extrusion press.
