- the roll may be finish ground. Then the grinding wheel is removed and a grooving cutter attachment substituted therefor. The wheel head carrying the grooving cutter is then synchronized in longitudinal motion along the length of the roll with rotation of the roll itself.
- An object of this invention is to provide new and improved apparatus for grooving the face of a calender roll.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a new and improved grooving attachment which may be substituted for a grinding wheel.
- a further object of this invention is to provide new and improved means for longitudinally moving a grooving cutter along the face of a calender roll in synchronizing with the rotation of the roll.

- Each motor 70 has a pulley 71 on the shaft thereof and idler pulleys 72, 73 and 74 define a path for a drive belt 75.
- the belt 75 passes about a pulley 7-6 at one end of the grinding wheel spindle 77 and the grinding wheel 78 is mounted to the other end of the spindle.
- Each grinding wheel is received within a housing 79 which is shown in FIG. 2 with its cover removed.
- the grinding wheel end of spindles 77 are tapered (FIG. to receive the grinding wheel thereon.
- the wheel guard cover (not shown) is removed from the grinding wheel housing 79 and then nut 81 is removed from the threaded end of the spindle and the grinding wheel removed.
- a cutter head assembly 82 (FIGS. 4 and 5) is mounted to grinding wheel head 26 and is adapted to be driven through spindle 77.
- Cutter head assembly 82 comprises a housing member 83 which rotatably mounts therein a shaft 84.
- Mounted to shaft 84 are pulleys 85 and 86.
- Assembly 82 is mounted directly to grinding wheel guard or housing 79 as by means of a plurality of bolts 82a which are received through mounting arms or flanges 82b extending from housing in the existing bolt holes for the removed cover plate.
- a spindle pulley 87 is placed on the tapered end of spindle 77 and pulleys 85 and 87 are connected by an endless timing belt 88.
- motor 70 drives spindle 77
- pulley 85 drives shaft 84 and in turn pulley 86.
- Housing 83 and included within assembly 82 is a housing 89 for a cutter spindle 90.
- Spindle 90 receives on the end thereof a timing pulley 91 which is connected to timing pulley 86 by means of an endless timing belt 92.
- the back side of belt 92 passes beneath a tension-adjusting pulley 93 carried on an adjustable arm 94 extending from a bracket 95 adjustably mounted to housing 83.
- Spindle housing 89 is secured to housing 83 by a plurality of bolts 96 received in oversized passages 97 in the flanges 98 on housing 89.
- the cutter head is mounted to spindle 90 as by means of a collar 99 and nut 100 threadably received on the end of spindle 90.
- the cutter head may carry a plurality of cutters 101 adapted to groove the surface of roll R.
- pulley 85 drives shaft 84 which in turn drives pulley 86, timing belt 88 and timing pulley 91.
- the cutters are then rotated and will cut into the surface or rubber coating on roll R as carriage 17 moves along the length of bed 11.
- the carriage moves at a speed synchronized with rotation of the roll so that the grooves defined in the surface of the roll have a predetermined pitch.
- Spindle housing 89 has an annular projection 102 thereon which is received in a mating socket 103 defined in an adjusting block 104 having upper and lower inclined surfaces 105 and 106 defining a longitudinal slot in housing member 83. This longitudinally extending slot provides a mounting means for housing 89. Adjusting block 104 is received in housing 83 as shown more clearly with respect to housing 83 by means of a bolt 109a car-.
- Bracket 108 is carried on block 104 by means of bolts 109.
- Block 104 is so positionable to allow the introduction of the grooving cutters at the proper lead position into a previously grooved roll.
- Spindle housing 89 together with spindle therein is adapted to have limited rotational movement about the axis of projection 102 in socket 103.
- Such rotational motion is provided as a means for inclining the angle of the cutter blades 101 to give a predetermined degree of lead to the spiral grooves defined on a roll R.
- the bolts 96 are loosened in their oversized apertures.
- the spindle head may now be tilted to a calibrated position by means of an assembly shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
- An adjusting screw or bolt 110 having a cylindrical shank portion 111 is received in flanged bearings 112 disposed within a bushing 113 in a bore in adjusting block 104.

- the threaded portion 114 is further received in an adjusting nut 115 which is connected as by means of a pin 116 to a block 117 secured to the underside of spindle head 89 as by means of bolts 118.
- adjusting bolt 110 When adjusting bolt 110 rotated, it will produce longitudinal motion in adjusting nut 115 inasmuch as nut 115 cannot rotate because of the pin connection to block 117. Such longitudinal motion of nut 115 produces similar longitudinal motion of block 117 which results in a torque on spindle head 89 about the center of projection 102.
- the head of nut 110 may-be calibrated as shown in FIG. 6 in degrees or fractions thereof to permit the operator to set the desired pitch of the spindle head 89 and hence the cutter blades 101.
- the cutter head assembly may be mounted to the grinding machine in place of a grinding wheel with great facility and driven directly from the grinding wheel spindle.
- the spindle itself may be adjusted longitudinally with respect to the cutter head assembly as by means of bolt 109a, and may be pitched by means of the pitch or helix adjusting mechanism of FIG. 6.
- clutches 53 and 62 are controlled by their coils 53d and 62d, respectively, which may be selectively energized through lines 120 and 121 (FIG. 8) and commutator and brush assemblies (not shown).
- the energization of the clutches is controlled by relays 53a and 62a which are also connected across lines 120 and 121.
- switch 122 When switch 122 is in a first position indicated at G, relay 53a in line 123 is energized.
- relay 53a When relay 53a is energized it drops out its contact 53b in line 124 to prevent energization of clutch 67 and picks up its contact 53c in lines 120 and 121 to energize coil 53d.
- the apparatus may also include mechanism for imparting curvilinear motion to the grinding wheel heads 26 and 27 as they travel along the length of a roll.
- each grinding wheel head is pivotally mounted to its carriage at 28.
- the rear end of wheel heads '26 and 27 are supported through a cam follower 120 on an eccentrically adjustable crowning cam 121.
- Cam 121 has rotatably secured therein substantially diametrically thereacross a lead screw 122.
- Screw 122 carries a cOllar 123 having dimensional graduations thereon, and is threadably received through shaft 124.
- One end 125 of screw 122 is hexagonally formed to allow it to be rotated by a wrench or similar device.
- Cam 121 is retained in place by a clamping disc 126 and nut 127.
- a groove cutting assembly comprising a first housing member rotatably mounting a shaft therein, at least one grooving cutter thereon, a
- second housing member mountable to said wheel head, said second housing having power transmission means for connecting said shaft to the spindle, said second housing member having mounting means adapated to movably mount said first housing member so as to allow selection of the longitudinal position of said at least one grooving cutter along a roll on the grinding machine.
