This invention provides an auxiliary
machine-side feeding device and method. The auxiliary
machine-side feeding device includes: a frame, a
tread feeding template, a zero-track feeding template, and a
tread / zero-track drive mechanism. The
tread feeding template is movably connected to the frame; the zero-track feeding template is movably connected to the frame and moves synchronously with the tread feeding template in at least one direction; the tread / zero-track drive mechanism is driven by both the tread feeding template and the zero-track feeding template, and is capable of driving both the tread feeding template and the zero-track feeding template to move synchronously in at least one direction. This invention solves the problems of complex structure and high cost of existing auxiliary
machine-side feeding devices.
