AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0038] Less investment in machinery. This new apparatus and manufacturing process doesn't require some of the machines used in the traditional pole manufacturing industry. These machines are replaced by this new apparatus at a lower cost.
[0039] Less investment in plant. Traditional process for pole manufacturing requires large foundation works to place the press brakes. The new machinery saves costs in plant construction since it's foundation is smaller.
[0040] Lead time. Normal lead time for traditional break press ranges from 12 to 15 months; lead time for the new machinery is 3 to 6 months. This reduced lead time translates into a faster return on investment since production can begin earlier.

Problems solved by technology

The new machinery saves costs in plant construction since it's foundation is smaller.

Embodiment Construction

[0043] Referring to the figures, FIG. 1. is a schematic, front view of the tension positioning apparatus (10) which is generally made up of a top assembly (4) and a bottom assembly (6). The tension positioning apparatus (10) does not include the pole strips (2). The top assembly (4) and the bottom assembly (6) work in conjunction with each other from opposite sides of any attached pole strip(s) (2) in order to position, place tension upon, and hold the pole strip(s) (2) in place for pole construction.

[0044] The top assembly (4) is generally comprised of a top support (32), a tensioning device (30), a top head (26), a top clamping device (18) and a top positioning device (22). While the bottom assembly (6) is generally comprised of a bottom support (12), a bottom head (14), and a bottom clamping device (20). It is also anticipated that the bottom assembly may include a bottom positioning device (16).

[0045] The clamping devices (20&24) are mounted on, or in conjunction with, the pos...

Abstract

The present invention provides for an apparatus and method that allows manufacturing of steel poles and steel honey comb columns. It consists of vertically placing previously cut strips of a desired substance, generally anticipated to be metallic in nature, in a tension positioning apparatus that applies vertical, or longitudinally along the length of the strips, tension to the strips. When each of the strips are in tension, they are positioned into a desired polygonal, generally cylindrical, shape. The adjoining sides of the strips can then be fused together, generally anticipated to be by welding if the strips are metallic, to form the pole or column.

Description

[0001] This application is based upon and claims priority from U.S. Provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 755,116, which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Background Information [0002] The “Tension positioning apparatus and method, that permits the manufacturing of steel poles and steel honeycomb columns”, produces steel poles and steel honeycomb columns. [0003] Steel poles and honeycomb columns are cylindrical structures that can be built in many different lengths, diameters and sizes, depending on the type of application for which it will be used. [0004] Poles and honeycomb columns are made with high—strength low—alloy steel conforming to ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials). Trapezoidal or triangular steel plaques are welded to form a multi-sided cylindrical structure. Welding should comply with the American Welding Society (AWS) standards. Poles normally have a finishing coating to protect them from corrosion; the different types of finis...
