ABSTRACT:
A workstock forming apparatus and method for forming both ends of workstock blanks without the necessity of reversing the ends of the workstock blanks. The apparatus and method include a loading servo or cylinder for successively loading individual workstock blanks such as pipe nipple blanks onto a turntable which initially receives and positions a first nipple blank to be threaded on one end by a first threading spindle. The turntable then sequentially rotates back into alignment with the loading cylinder and successively receives additional nipple blanks, which are rotated in sequence with the turntable and first nipple blank for threading on one end by the first threading spindle, while the first and succeeding nipple blanks are sequentially linearly displaced in a guide on the turntable and the unthreaded ends of the first and succeeding nipple blanks are simultaneously threaded by a second threading spindle. The rotating turntable operates to sequentially deposit the dually threaded nipples in a hopper or at an inspection station as each succeeding nipple blank is received from the loading cylinder. The loading cylinder, turntable and threading spindles may be operated and controlled by a programmable controller and a computer.
