Abstract (en)

A machine for roughing the side edge portions (15, 16) of a footwear upper (14) which are folded against the base of the last (13) on which the upper is fitted, comprising means (31, 53, 55) for supporting the last (13) with its base facing upwards, means (10) for supporting a pair of rotary roughing tools (2, 3) with their operative peripheries facing the base of the last (13), each tool being intended to roughen a respective edge portion (15, 16) of the upper (14) which extends beside the longitudinal toe-to-heel axis (PT) of the last, guide means (24, 25) for the movement of the support means for the last relative to the roughing tools (2, 3), drive means (40, 46, 30) for moving the support means for the last on the guide means, drive means (4, 5) for rotating the rotary roughing tools, and electronic means (63) for detecting the size and shape of the last (13), for processing them, and for sending corresponding control signals to the drive means. The support means (31, 53, 55) for the last are movable only rectilinearly and angularly in a plane parallel to the vertical plane containing the toe-to-heel axis (PT) of the last (13), whereas the means (10) for supporting the pair of rotary roughing tools (2, 3) can be moved rectilinearly transverse the toe-to-heel axis (PT) of the last (13). The advantage achieved is a simple mechanical structure, which can be controlled and operated easily in order to carry out the roughing cycle. <IMAGE>
