Abstract:
It is presented a method for producing a cured polymer structure from a polymer compound which is UV curable and partly UV transparent. The method comprises injecting the polymer compound into a mold (2), which mold (2) has at least one wall (7) defining a mold space (6) for receiving the polymer compound in the mold space (6). The at least one wall (7) of the mold (2) is UV transparent and comprises a thermoplastic polymer. The polymer compound is then irradiated through the at least one wall (7), by means of at least one UV semiconductor light source, thereby curing the polymer compound to form the cured polymer structure. An assembly for producing a polymer structure and a mold (2) is also presented herein.

Abstract:
An arrangement for reducing a rotational speed of a rotating member includes a first and second pressure member arranged at a distance from each other and an opposite sides of the rotating member for movement relative to each other between a retracted position and a forward position engaging the rotating member. The arrangement includes an adjustment device including a friction structure forming a friction joint with one of the pressure members for maintaining a position relative to one another provided a maximum friction force is not exceeded. The arrangement further includes a spring acting on the friction structure for separating the pressure members after having been compressed. The spring has a gradually increasing spring force between a non-compressed state and a totally compressed state. An intermediate spring force value of the spring, which corresponds to compression of the spring to an extent less than the totally compressed state, equals a maximum friction force of the friction joint so that the friction structure is forced to move relative to the pressure member, with which it forms the friction joint, when the maximum friction force is exceeded.
Abstract:
A fusion welding socket (18) for coupling together plastic pipes, is adapted to receive the pipe parts to be coupled together with a tight fit. The diameter of the ends (19) of the socket is greater than the diameter of the socket along an intermediate part (20) and the diameter at the ends is adapted to receive with a tight fit an outer pipe (1) and the diameter of the intermediate part is adapted to receive with a tight fit an inner pipe (2) of a double-pipe conduit which includes two coaxial pipes and a leakage detection space (3) therebetween. The socket includes coils (24-27) having resistance wires or filaments which enable the socket material to be fused locally together with the material in both the outer pipes and the inner pipes of two double-pipe conduits that are to be coupled together with the aid of the socket. The socket also includes at least one passageway (21) which interconnects the spaces in the socket on both sides of the intermediate socket part.

A passageway includes an annular space is arranged to connect the annular spaces of the first and second conduit after fusion.
Abstract:
An apparatus for revealing the geometry of operative cylinders, in particular during the grinding operation of the same, includes a pair of movable clamps which can be moved away from and towards each other with respect to a fixed intermediate structure, the clamps having tilted surfaces in opposite directions to each other according to a swallowtail arrangement with respect to a cylinder being measured, positioned between them and between a surface of the fixed intermediate structure, the surfaces of the movable clamps and the surface of the fixed intermediate structure always being kept in contact with the cylinder, whether still or rotating, wherein the fixed structure also has, in its interior, parts of a group which interact with each other to correlate the movement of the clamps.
Abstract:
A method for positioning operative cylinders, for example of rolling-mills or paper-mills on a grinding machine, includes at least the following steps: A—positioning the transversal, longitudinal center-line plane of the cylinder in correspondence with a reference point situated between a movable piece-holder head and tailstock center of the machine; B—moving the piece-holder head and the tailstock center in the direction of the cylinder until there is a reciprocal coupling. The present invention relates also to a machine for implementing the above method.
