ABSTRACT:
Clamping and cutting apparatus to be incorporated with a heading machine comprises a carriage having a shearing cutter mounted thereon and movable between a cutting position where rod-shaped work is cut to a predetermined length and a transfer position where the cut piece of work is transferred to the subsequent processing station. A clamp lever mounted on the carriage is connected via a toggle joint to a slider also mounted thereon, which slider is slidable either to a positive clamping position for causing the clamp lever to positively clamp the work against the cutter, a loose clamping position for causing the clamp lever to loosely clamp the work, or an unclamping position for causing the clamp lever to release the work. When the carriage is in the cutting position, the slider can be locked in the positive clamping position by a pivotal locking pawl via blocks of elastomeric material, and as the carriage travels to the transfer position upon completion of each cutting operation, the locking pawl is cam operated to permit the slider to be moved to the loose clamping position and thence to the unclamping position.
