SCARFING MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025015 titled 'SCARFING MACHINE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a scarfing machine that consists of a base and a pair of platens. The upper platen is fixed to the base, while the lower platen is adjustable. At least one of the platens is hollow and has an inlet port and an outlet port. The machine also includes a scarfing tool that extends along the length of the platens to scarf a member supported between them. Additionally, there is a cooling circuit connected to the inlet and outlet ports of the hollow platen.
- The scarfing machine has a base and a pair of platens, with one fixed and the other adjustable.
- At least one of the platens is hollow and has an inlet and outlet port.
- The machine includes a scarfing tool that extends along the platens to scarf a supported member.
- A cooling circuit is connected to the hollow platen to provide cooling.
Potential Applications:
- Metalworking industries: The scarfing machine can be used in industries that involve metal fabrication, such as automotive, aerospace, and construction.
- Welding and pipe manufacturing: The machine can be utilized in welding processes and pipe manufacturing to remove excess material and create smooth joints.
Problems Solved:
- Efficient scarfing: The machine provides a convenient and adjustable platform for scarfing operations, ensuring precise and consistent results.
- Heat management: The cooling circuit helps dissipate heat generated during scarfing, preventing damage to the member and tool.
Benefits:
- Versatility: The adjustable lower platen allows for accommodating various sizes and shapes of members to be scarfed.
- Improved quality: The machine's design and cooling system contribute to achieving high-quality scarfing results.
- Time and cost savings: The efficient scarfing process reduces labor and material costs, increasing overall productivity.
Original Abstract Submitted
a scarfing machine includes a base and a pair of platens adjustably positioned on the base. the pair of platens are configured as an upper platen and a lower platen such that the upper platen is fixed to the base and the lower platen is adjustably positioned on the base, to receive and support a member for scarfing. also, at least one platen of the pair of platens is hollow and is defined with an inlet port and an outlet port. the scarfing machine further includes a scarfing tool, extending from either side and along a length of at least one of the pair of platens, to scarf the member supported between the pair of platens. the scarfing machine also includes a cooling circuit, fluidly connectable to the inlet port and the outlet port of the at least one platen of the pair of platens.
