CA 2297478

A roll forming machine or tube mill comprises multiple mill stands defining a material pass line through the mill stands. The mill stands include rotating arbors (22, 24) carrying tooling which are supported between a drive bearing housing and a rotatable bearing housing (44). Inactive rollers (33, 34) extend outwardly from the rotatable bearing housing, such that upon rotation of the rotatable bearing housing (44) the inactive arbors can be moved to the active position and the formerly active arbors (22, 24) can be moved to an inactive or retooling position on the outside of the mill stands. A change cart includes rails on the upper surface thereof that are brought into registry with corresponding rails on the housing support upon which the rotatable bearing housing is mounted. The rotatable bearing housing (44) is then slid off onto the cart (74), rotated, and then moved back onto the bearing housing support. The cart (74) then can be disengaged and moved along rails supporting the cart to a position adjacent a succeeding mill, to enable changeover of the succeeding mill.

La présente invention concerne une profileuse ou un broyeur tubulaire qui comporte plusieurs postes d'usinage définissant une ligne de passe de matière traversant les postes d'usinage. Les postes d'usinage comportent des arbres de rotation qui supportent l'outillage et qui sont maintenus entre un carter de palier moteur et un carter de palier tournant (44). Des galets passifs (33, 34) débordent du carter de palier tournant de façon qu'avec la rotation du carter de palier tournant (44) les arbres passifs peuvent être amenés en position active, les arbres initialement actifs pouvant être ramenés en position passive ou en position de réoutillage, extérieurement par rapport au poste d'usinage. Un chariot changeur comporte sur sa face supérieure des rails se calant sur des rails correspondants équipant le support de carter sur lequel est monté le carter de palier tournant. Le carter de palier tournant (44) est alors éloigné par glissement et amené sur le chariot (74), mis en rotation, puis reculé sur le support de palier passif. Le chariot (74) peut alors être dégagé et transporté sur les rails portant le chariot et amené en une position adjacente d'un poste d'usinage suivant, et ce, pour permettre le changement concernant le poste d'usinage suivant.
