Abstract (en)

The workpiece feeding means comprises a conventional hammer-and-anvil arrangement driven at a speed under operator control (T) and with variable feed length for "normal", "snipping" and "pleating" operations. For each workpiece shape a set of settings of these three feed lengths (SS1, SS2 and SS3) is stored in computer memory under an identification (SS4) by which such set can subsequently be accessed. The set may also include other style-sensitive settings, e.g. rate of adhesive flow (SS9), delay in supplying adhesive (SS5), "density" of snipping (SS6), for subsequent recall with the feed length settings. Provision is also made for certain operator-sensitive settings, e.g. maximum feed speed for the particular operator (SS7) as a proportion of the overall maximum for the machine; this enables the operator control (T) to be fully used over its whole range and thus to maintain the sensitivity of control it provides regardless of the maximum speed set. Provision is also made for certain adhesive-sensitive settings, e.g. creaser foot temperature (SS8). The operator- and adhesive-sensitive settings do not form part of the set of settings for a particular workpiece.
