Function description
The trimmer is intended for blades that are to module-cut timber. The timber is transported past the blades by a chain conveyor with wide carriers between each blade. The timber slides onto plates and once in the cutting position is held down by spring-loaded holders. All of this ensures the timber is enclosed on all sides during sawing, which optimises the cut conditions during the sawing motion. The blades are attached to blade-arms that are raised by an eccentric mechanism via a link rod and air cylinders. A gear motor drive motor drives the eccentric mechanism, the conveyor through the trimmer and the in-feed and out-feed conveyors. The mechanical synchronisation of the blade-arms’ lifting motion and the conveyor ensure the cutting motion. Those blades that are not cutting the timber piece in question are held upright by each blade’s air cylinder. The blades cut the timber pieces in a sinus-shaped movement. This enables a shorter carrier division, which gives a lower throughput speed of the timber with maintained capacity. As the blades rotate towards the carriers the chippings and sawdust are sent backwards/upwards.
