SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LONGITUDINAL SCORING OF ROLL-FORMED CONTAINERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17932541 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LONGITUDINAL SCORING OF ROLL-FORMED CONTAINERS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems and methods for longitudinally scoring roll-formed containers using a scoring device with rolling dies and arms that can adjust distance and rotate to score ends of packaging material.
- The system includes a first scoring device with rolling dies and arms that can adjust distance and rotate to score ends of packaging material.
- The arms slide along a support member to adjust the distance between the rolling dies and rotate to move the rolling dies into scoring position.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the manufacturing industry for scoring and cutting packaging material in roll-formed containers.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently and accurately scoring the ends of roll-formed containers during the manufacturing process.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include increased efficiency, precision, and consistency in scoring roll-formed containers, leading to improved product quality.
Potential Commercial Applications
A potential commercial application of this technology could be in the production of various types of containers, such as cans, tubes, or cylinders, where scoring the ends of the packaging material is necessary.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of manual scoring devices or machines with fixed scoring dies that do not offer the same level of adjustability and flexibility as the system described in the patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology compare to existing scoring devices in terms of speed and accuracy?
The patent application does not provide specific details on the speed and accuracy of the scoring process compared to existing devices.
What materials are suitable for scoring using this technology, and are there any limitations in terms of material thickness or composition?
The patent application does not mention specific details about the types of materials that can be scored using this technology or any limitations related to material thickness or composition.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods are disclosed for longitudinal scoring of roll-formed containers. In one embodiment, an example system may include a first scoring device having a first rolling die, a first arm coupled to the first rolling die, a second rolling die, a second arm coupled to the second rolling die, and a first support member configured to support the first arm and the second arm. The first arm and the second arm may be configured to: (i) slide along the first support member, such that a distance between the first rolling die and the second rolling die is adjusted, and (ii) rotate about the first support member from a first position to a second position, such that the first rolling die and the second rolling die move from the first position to the second position. The first scoring device may score ends of the packaging material.
