Abstract:
1. A process for automatically performing cutting and milling operations on a used core and a core remnant to provide mating milled surfaces on the adjacent ends of the used core and core remnant and placing the mating surfaces into engagement with each other to produce a conjoined core, such process including the steps of: positioning a used core proximate an infeed cutting blade and infeed milling bit and positioning the adjacent end of a core remnant in a position proximate an outfeed cutting blade and an outfeed milling bit; cutting the used end of the used core with the infeed cutting blade to produce a clean end and cutting the used end of the core remnant with the outfeed cutting blade to produce a clean end; milling the clean end of the used core with the infeed milling bit to produce a mating surface and milling the clean end of the core remnant with the outfeed milling bit to produce a mating surface; applying glue to at least one of the mating surfaces; and joining the mating surfaces of the used core and core remnant to produce a conjoined core.
