Occupations | Recovers and reconditions used printing-press rollers, using handtools and such equipment as melting pot and chopping machine: Strips cover from roller manually or with knife, separating meltable from nonmeltable materials. Feeds meltable scrap into chopping machine and dumps chopped material into heated melting pot. Weighs out, mixes, and melts ingredients to form molding compound in mixing kettle, according to formula. Paints roller cores, using brush. Winds twine around roller ends and other areas needing packing. Fits stars (centering devices) in position on cores and molding cylinder. Oils cylinder, using oilcan, and inserts cores in cylinder. Attaches bottom plate, water, and drain lines to molding cylinder, using wrenches. Couples lines from compressor to kettle containing molding compound and to pressure gun used to force molding compound into cylinder. Controls flow of compound according to signals from another worker observing operation from raised platform. Pours cold water over surface of cylinder to congeal molding compound. Inspects finished rollers for imperfections, trims excess molding compound from edges, and directs steam over surface of roller covers to remove wrinkles, using steam hose. (references) |
| Tends machine that applies layers of vulcanized rubber onto metal rollers to fabricate or recondition rubber rollers used in industrial machines: Reviews work order to identify type of roller to be covered and type, color, and thickness of vulcanized rubber to be applied onto metal roller. Measures metal roller, using tape measure, to verify dimensions with work order. Transports and mounts roller between holding devices of roller building machine, by hand or using overhead crane, working as team member. Carries, mounts, and loads roll of vulcanized rubber stock onto feed mechanism of machine. Depresses floor pedals to start feed mechanism and to start building machine that applies layers of vulcanized rubber around metal roller. Observes application of rubber around roller to detect air bubbles. Releases floor pedals to stop application of rubber, punctures air bubbles using knife, and applies pieces of rubber to airholes to seal holes. Measures thickness of rubber application, using calipers. Cuts rubber between roller and feed mechanism, using hot knife, and seals seam to roller, using stitching wheel. Trims rubber that laps over edges of roller, using knife. (references) | |
| Operates buffing machine to recondition drawing, spinning, or roving frame rollers: Cuts worn cot (rubber, cork, or leather covering) from roller arbor and cleans arbor with solvent. Screws arbor guides to handpress and turns knob to adjust press stroke according to length of roller. Dips new cot into water to soften glue. Positions arbor and cot in press and pulls lever to press cot onto arbor. Positions assembled roller between centers on buffing machine carriage. Turns carriage-stop adjustment screw to adjust machine to reduce cot diameter to specified size. Starts machine and turns handwheel to feed revolving roller against buffing wheel. Measures buffed roller with calipers to verify accuracy of diameter and places roller in gauge to ensure that cot is not tapered. Cuts leather to specified size and glues edges to make leather cots. Presses leather cot onto arbor, using arbor press. Presses wooden tool against ends of leather cot as roller turns in lathe to shrink cot onto arbor. Cuts cloth covering and glues it onto $T3clearer rollers$T1 that clean lint from drawing rollers. (references) | |
