ABSTRACT:
A loading apparatus (14) loads a workpiece (16) into a through-feed mechanism (20, 22, 24) which advances the workpiece (16) through a processing device (12) at an advancement speed. The loading apparatus (14) includes a roller assembly (30, 32) which grips the workpiece (16), and further includes a motorized drive train (34) which drives the roller assembly (30, 32) to urge the workpiece (16) toward the through-feed mechanism (20, 22, 24) at a speed greater than the advancement speed. The drive train (34) includes a slip clutch (86) which permits slippage in the drive train (34) under resistance transmitted through the workpiece (16) from the through-feed mechanism (20, 22, 24) to the roller assembly (30, 32). The roller assembly (30, 32) loads the workpiece (16) against the resistance of the through-feed mechanism (20, 22, 24) at a speed not greater than the advancement speed.
