Abstract:
An automatically adjusting auto gauge system comprises a servo motor that provides rotational motion; at least one of a gearbox and linear actuator driven by the one or more servo motors to transfer the rotational motor of the servo motor to linear motion; a group of roll former passes, each including a cam arm, an eccentric cam, a push rod, a top set of roll tooling, a bottom set of roll tooling; a bar operably coupled to the gearbox and the cam arms of the group of roll former passes, the bar driven by the gearbox to impart linear motion to the cam arms, which in turn imparts rotational motion to each eccentric cam, which in turn imparts linear motion, raising or lowering the top set of roll tooling via the push rod, adjusting a gap between the top and bottom sets of roll tooling.
