A roll grinding apparatus may comprise a frame, first and second rolls rotatably mounted on the frame in proximity to each other to grind materials passing between the rolls, and first and second motors to rotate the first and second rolls respectively. A control apparatus controls operation of at least one of the motors. The control apparatus may be configured to control the speed of the second roll by providing power to the second motor or braking the second motor through regeneration of energy from the second motor.

An automated rover device removes material from opposite surfaces of an elongate part, such as a composite stiffener. The device includes a pair of material removal tools along with a vacuum assembly for vacuuming away material removed by the tools.

A stoning or honing device for automatically applying an essentially constant and uniform pressure of an abrasive hard component onto a suspended portion of a continuously moving metal strip surface, for the purpose of defect visual inspection, includes: a main frame supporting at least one carriage bearing a hard component, the carriage being connected to a drive system for moving the hard component towards the metal strip and to apply a controlled contact pressure thereof on the metal strip surface; and a means for moving transversally and back and forth at a defined speed the hard component bearing carriage with respect to a continuous motion direction of the strip. The device includes, on each strip side, a plurality of hard component bearing carriages having each a defined width stroke and arranged according to at least three different locations respectively associated with three separate rails including drive and control systems.

A process for polishing and grinding a copper foil surface comprises implementing a main roller made of soft, porous, fibrous and compressible materials, and placing a plurality of metallic-glass particles injected, impinged or applied to the peripheral surface of the main roller, whereby upon rotation of the main roller to contact and brush the copper foil surface, each metallic-glass particle as cushioned by the main roller may simultaneously polish and grind the copper foil surface for efficiently reducing roughness of copper foil.

Disclosed herein are an apparatus of manufacturing a panel for home appliance by performing uniform surface processing on the panel and a method of manufacturing a home appliance by performing uniform surface processing on a panel. The apparatus of manufacturing a panel for home appliance includes a contacting roller configured to perform surface-processing on a panel that is to be processed; a pressing roller configured to press the panel toward the contacting roller; and a supporting roller configured to support a center middle portion of the contacting roller.

The present invention provides an apparatus for resurfacing a rotating elastomer substrate. The apparatus utilizes a motorized grinding wheel, said motorized grinding wheel rotating in a direction counter to the rotating elastomer substrate and having an axis of rotation parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotating elastomer substrate, wherein the perpendicular distance between the motorized grinding wheel and the rotating elastomer substrate is adjustable so as to control the amount of elastomer substrate that is removed; and a mount for said motorized grinding wheel, wherein said mount is located proximal to the rotating elastomer substrate that comprises a part of a production line and wherein the mount is capable of traversing parallel to the rotating elastomer substrate.
