Subject field(s)
  • Equipment and Plant (Metallurgy)
CONT

Common four-sided shaped wire, such as squares, oblongs or keystone shape, are frequently produced on cold-rolling equipment known as "Turks-head" machine. This consists of four hardened-steel rolls set in planes at right angles to each other. The narrow face of the rolls, as set in the framework, is adjustable on the same plane so that the assembly of the overlapping roll edges facing each other will project the contour of the opening so formed, into the desired shape of the cross-section of the wire to be made. The process wire, of a size somewhat larger than the finished size desired, is pointed and pulled through the Turks-head, being thus rolled to shape and size, after which it is coiled on a regular wire-drawing take-up block.

CONT

The Turks Head is a metal forming machine. It may be compared to an adjustable draw die but is actually infinitely adjustable within its limiting dimensions. ... The Turks Head utilizes two pair of rolls, one pair is arranged vertically and the other pair horizontally. In all types of Turks Heads, the rolls are infinitely adjustable.

The wire runs over a breast roll under or adjacent to the headbox, over a series of tube or table rolls or more recently drainage blades, which maintain the working surface of the wire in a plane and aid water removal.

Similarly, the drainage blades create a vacuum on the downstream side where the wire leaves the blade surface, but also performs the function of a doctor blade on the upstream side.

When you have applied burlap to all the inside openings, the next operation is to place fox edging(roll edging) along the edge wire wherever weight will be placed on the edge.

On a center unit of a sectional the edging would go all around the springs except at the back. The purpose of the edging is to protect the covering from a sharp bend over the edge wire and cushion it.

The straight-through press is the oldest and simplest press arrangement, and is still used on pulp and board machines. Originally, each press within the series arrangement consisted of a smooth top roll and a bottom felted roll(Figure 16-79), so that only the top surface of the sheet received smooth roll contact. Later, an inverse second press(smooth roll on bottom) was utilized so that the wire side of the sheet also contacted a smooth surface.
