ABSTRACT:
A centerless turning lathe refinishes multiple laser printer rollers, mags and PCRs simultaneously. The apparatus includes a housing having two members connected by multiple rods. Multiple spindles extend inward from the members. Each spindle has recesses for carrying an O-ring. The O-ring is easily moved from recess to recess along the spindles to accommodate any length of roller. Adapters may be placed over the ends of the spindles for securing and rotating shorter rollers, mags and PCRs. The spindles extending from the members are power-driven by a speed controlled motor. Finely adjustable T-shaped fences extend through holes in the members above the spindles and hold the rollers longitudinally. An applicator assembly for applying chemicals to the rollers includes a guide positioned on and extending between the members of the housing, a movable carriage that travels along the guide, and a multiple treatments foam applicators extending from the carriage. The applicator can be manually operated or automatically driven. For refinishing applications, rollers are positioned in the housing between the two members and are laid on the spindle O-rings. The motor is activated, causing the spindles and rollers to rotate. Chemicals are applied to the surfaces of the rotating rollers either manually or automatically to clean and then to coat the rollers using the multi-pronged applicator.
