ABSTRACT:
A head assembly for a pultrusion process for pultruding pultrudable material is provided. The head assembly includes a floating adjustable assembly carrying a pultrusion die. The die has a center line disposed proximate the center line of the process and an entrance, and an exit. The material passing from the entrance to the exit of the die in forming an acceptable finished shape is maintained when formed with the center line of the exit of the die always remaining stationary and disposed proximate the center line of the process. In order to ensure this position the pultrusion die is movably affixed with respect to a fixed frame by an adjustable head assembly to provide for adjustment of the entrance of the die with respect to the exit of the die, wherein should the center line of the form of the pultrudable material exiting the die be out of line with the predetermined limits from the center line of the process an adjustment of the head assembly will adjust the position of the entrance of the die with respect to the center line of the process and the exit of the die sufficiently until the center line of the pultrudable material is substantially in line with and within acceptable limits from the center line of the process and the exit from the die.
