Abstract
The apparatus and method for making a resin caulker 10 begins with continuous extrusion of a resin cylinder 15. A multimandrel indexing machine 20 has a receiving station 22 positioned to align an empty mandrel 21 with extruded cylinder 15 so a leading end 18 of extruded cylinder 15 advances onto empty mandrel 21. A cut off device 19 cuts cylinder 15 at a predetermined length to form a resin caulker barrel 11 supported on mandrel 21. Indexing machine 20 then moves cut off barrel 11 to an assembly station 23 and brings another empty mandrel 21 to receiving station 22. An end closure 12 is joined to cut off barrel 11 at assembly station 23; and successive stations 24-29 of the indexing machine finish, print, and dry the assembled caulkers while supported on mandrels 21.
