Abstract
A log marking device (1) comprising a log marking tool (2) with a striking head (10) provided with adjustable marking members, and a setting unit (3) with setting members for setting the marking members in desired positions or states. The setting unit also comprises: —a housing (30) with a seat (31) for receiving the striking head; —actuators for controlling the movements of the setting members; and—an electronic control unit for controlling the actuators. The striking head (10) is moveable into a setting position, in which the striking head is received in the seat (31) of the setting unit with each marking member in contact with the associated setting member so as to allow the setting unit (3) to set the positions or states of the marking members by operation of the actuators.
Claims20
A log marking device for applying a marking on a log, the log marking device (1) comprising:
- a log marking tool (2) with a striking head (10), wherein
- the striking head (10) is provided with adjustable marking members (12), the adjustable marking members (12) are configured to leave the marking on the log when the striking head (10) hits against the log, wherein the log marking device (1) further comprises a setting unit (3), by which the marking members (12) are shiftable between different positions or states to allow a variation of the marking to be applied by the log marking device, the setting unit (3) having:
- a housing (30),
- a seat (31) arranged in the housing (30) and configured to receive the striking head (10),
- setting members (32) moveably arranged in the housing (30) and connectable to a respective one of the marking members (12),
- actuators (33) mounted to the housing (30) and configured to control a movement of a respective one of the setting members (32) in relation to the housing (30) and
- an electronic control unit (34) for controlling the actuators (33);
- and
- the log marking tool (2) is moveable in relation to the setting unit (3) to allow the striking head (10) to be moved between a released position, in which the striking head (10) is disengaged from the setting unit (3) to hit against the log to apply the marking on the log by the marking members (12) when the striking head (10) hits against the log, and a setting position, in which the striking head (10) is received in the seat (31) of the setting unit (3) with each of the marking members (12) in contact with the associated of the setting members (32) to allow the setting unit (3) to set the different positions or states of the marking members (12) by operation of the actuators (33).
