Latest Patents
Kofler's latest patents include a winding machine designed for winding and/or unwinding web-like guided materials. This invention aims to simplify and accelerate the chucking of a journal-free beam or roll mandrel in a winding machine. It also automates and speeds up the alignment of the winding machine and the journal-free beam or roll mandrel in relation to a creel middle plane or centerline. A displacement device is connected to an auxiliary side stand by at least one first extension link or hollow spindle, and it is also connected with a displaceable support by at least one second extension link or solid spindle. The first and second extension links or spindles are moved or positively controlled in opposite displacement directions through equal distances relative to a spatially fixed plane, which extends transverse to the direction of displacement of the winding machine.
Another patent by Kofler describes a winding machine that comprises a driving-side stand, an auxiliary-side stand, a support positioned between the two stands, and a beam containing journals or pins clamped between the driving-side stand and the support. These journals or pins are equipped with replaceable or exchangeable clamping or chucking cones. The driving-side stand and the support each possess a mating or counter-cone that engages with the associated clamping or chucking cone.
