Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods and apparatuses for positioning boards and other wood pieces in preparation for sawing/trimming. In embodiments, a continuous track loop conveys board stops slideably mounted to board stop guides positioned perpendicular to the direction of flow. A horizontal frame member provides a series of positioning guides through which a cam follower coupled to a board stop is diverted, thus adjusting the position of board stops in a direction perpendicular to the direction of flow without the use of braking devices or other added sources of mass, friction or vibration.

Abstract: Embodiments provide methods, systems, and apparatuses for loading workpieces in a flow direction into the spaced apart lugs on a lugged conveyor with the workpieces oriented transverse to the flow direction. The lug loader includes an array of pairs of endless conveyors configured to convey workpieces toward a lugged conveyor. The first and second endless conveyors of each pair are spaced laterally apart across the flow direction and aligned substantially in the flow direction. The array can form a continuous or discontinuous transport surface. Some pairs of endless conveyors in the array may overlap one or more other pairs of endless conveyors in the array. At least one pair of endless conveyors in the array may include two or more endless conveyors that are independently driven at different speeds and/or in different directions to de-skew a workpiece.

Abstract: A lumber sorter using a conveyor system with hooks that pick up, move and drop lumber. The lumber sorter includes limiters attached to the hooks that restrict the rotation of the hooks while the limiters are running in raceways. The limiters restrict the rotation of the hooks between a first and second orientation through the use of opposing contact points that contact with opposing walls of the raceways. The limiters maintain the hooks in a substantially vertical position while they carry lumber, but permit the hooks to be pivoted to drop the lumber at a designated position. The use of limiters having first and second contact points allows for the pivot direction and degree of rotation to be configurable and predetermined by the position and placement of the contact points.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method of a sorter and a method for sorting wood pieces and for guiding them to a conveyor. This type of sorter comprises a lower frame, a receiving deck for wood pieces, and a feeder for detaching a wood piece from the receiving deck. Said feeder comprises a controller for supporting the wood piece during movement directed to it and transferring it substantially vertically from the receiving deck. In that case the control means is traversed by at least two bearers controlled by an actuator for producing the vertical movement of the wood piece. The bearers are arranged to project from an outer surface of the controller by an amount of projection that is adjustable during lifting. The feeder further comprises a measuring unit for detecting a wood piece of a given diameter (e.g., the largest or larger cross-sectional diameter) on the bearers and for controlling the projection of the bearers to a position corresponding to this given diameter.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing spaced boards is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a receiving section, a spacing section and a delivery section. The apparatus is characterized by the presence of overlapping providing means and conveying means, releasable stopping means and vertical pushing means which are operatively connected for releasing one board at a time. Repeated stopping and releasing of boards result in a continuous and regular flow of evenly spaced boards.

Abstract: Several devices are used in safely moving lumber and restocking lumber storage/display racks, and a method for restocking lumber in the storage/display rack is used to safely removed and replace partial lumber bundles over new bundles or lumber. As lumber is sold and taken from the rack, it has to be replaced. The remaining pieces of a stack bundle, a partial bundle, is removed by a fork lift using pull arms attached at each end of the forklift carriage/backrest. The pull arms assure that all of the remaining pieces of the stacked bundle can be safely picked up by the forklift to be set aside. A bundle of lumber is then placed on the rack. The partial bundle is then picked up and placed on the new bundle.
