A wood board feeding system for positioning in a parallel orientation longitudinal pieces of lumber. It comprises a feeding conveyor assembly configured to receive and convey the longitudinal pieces of lumber over a conveying area in a conveying direction. The feeding conveyor assembly comprises a first conveyor sub-assembly and a second conveyor sub-assembly, both comprising a conveyor for conveying the longitudinal pieces of lumber about one of their ends and a motor driving the conveyor at a conveying speed. The first conveyor and the second conveyor are disposed side-by-side with respect to the conveying direction, thereby the first conveyor sub-assembly and the second conveyor sub-assembly position a respective one of the two opposite ends of the longitudinal pieces of lumber.

A hand-held saw with a rigid saw frame is disclosed. The rigid frame of the hand-held saw allows a saw blade to remain highly tensioned during the cutting process. The rigid saw frame has a “C-shape,” is unbent, and contains openings that make up a truss-like structure, which distributes an external force that is focused on one portion of the saw frame across other portions of the saw frame.
摘要:
A method for automatically cutting a workpiece by moving a workpiece along its longitudinal axis, positioning a cutting blade by rotating the blade about a vertical axis, positioning the cutting blade by rotating about a bevel axis, and moving the blade into cutting contact with the workpiece, thereby cutting the workpiece at a compound angle. The method may also include positioning the blade along a transverse axis. Further steps may include moving the cutting blade along a transverse axis simultaneous to moving the workpiece along its longitudinal axis, thereby creating a scarf cut; sorting a finished workpiece; and marking the workpiece.

A timber-working head comprises a first motor, a second motor, a feed wheel, and an adaptor plate. The first motor comprises a first rotary output element. The second motor comprises a second rotary output element. The feed wheel is fixed to the first rotary output element for rotation therewith. The adaptor plate fixed to the second rotary output element for rotation therewith. The adaptor plate comprises radial projections arranged about the periphery of the adaptor plate and received respectively within corresponding axially recessed portions of the feed wheel so as to provide an operational interface between the adaptor plate and the feed wheel.

A sawmill for milling a length of sawbolt includes a frame and a plurality of saws movably mounted to the frame. The plurality of saws include bandsaws, edging saws, and chain saws for making various cuts necessary in the milling process. A saw positioning system is coupled to the plurality of saws for positioning the saws relative to the frame. A controller is coupled to the saw positioning system. The controller provides a saw position signal and the saw positioning system positions the saws in response to the saw position signal. A number of log positioning mechanisms are also provided.

A mechanism for elevating and/or shifting a log infeed table to position a log received on the infeed table for a subsequent operation. The mechanism has sets of opposed paired crank arms pivotally mounted on supports. The infeed table is mounted on supporting shafts extending between the crank arms with the supporting shaft offset from the pivot axis of the crank arms. The crank arms are pivoted by an actuator coupled to a beam extended between one pair of the crank arms. All of the sets of paired crank arms have their beams coupled together by flexible couplings such that all of the sets of crank arms will pivot in unison. As the crank arms are pivoted by the actuator, the infeed table is raised or lowered. The supporting shafts are slidably movable in the cranks arms. Separate actuators are provided to move the supporting shaft in the crank arms to shift the infeed table transverse to the flow path of the infeed table.

Procedure and apparatus for sawing a square timber, the apparatus comprising a feed mechanism (1), a chipper (2) and a sawing apparatus (3) in such manner that .the feed mechanism has been arranged to feed the square timber into the chipper, the chipper has been arranged to remove from the square timber its curved surface portions, and the sawing apparatus has been arranged to cut up the spar arriving from the chipper. As taught by the invention, the feed mechanism (1) is connected with a pivot (4) with vertical axis to the chipper, and the chipper is connected with a second pivot (5) with vertical axis to the sawing apparatus which is carried on the frame of the apparatus, and that the apparatus comprises a feed table (6) for feeding the square timber in controlled manner into the feed mechanism.
摘要:
In a through feed molder, each tool is mounted to a slide and provided with a dust hood that also carries two conventional hold-down guides, rigidly attached, one on each side of the hood. A mechanism operating between the hood and the slide permits matching of the clearance between the hood and the horizontal bed of the molder to a given tool reference diameter. The hood is also interconnected with the bed by a measuring device which verifies the clearance of the entire tool assembly according to the thickness of the work. Displays are used to indicate the tool reference diameter and the distance of the hood from the bed.
摘要:
A system for processing a log or cant including chippers, profiling heads, and saws arranged as a sequence of coupled operations. Scanners and computers determine the log configuration and projected configuration of lumber pieces to be derived. One scanning function is the determination of the wane area configuration in the region of the projected side board edges. This enables a determination of the side board edges including acceptacle wane area and the desired orientation (incline or decline) of the boards relative to the path of conveyance. The profiling heads are adjustable in response to computer calculations to edge the established side boards. Stabilizing is provided and includes guide anvils positioned at the board edges following the edging operation.
