Abstract
A deviation detecting apparatus for a bandsaw blade in a bandsaw machine has an arm pivotally mounted at a location adjacent to the linear path of travel of the blade through the cutting zone. The arm is yieldably urged into slidable contact with one side of the blade, and is thus pivotally movable in response to lateral deviations of the blade. A control device is responsive to pivotal movement of the arm. The control device generates a control signal indicative of blade deviations.
Claims4
A deviation detecting apparatus for a bandsaw blade in a bandsaw machine comprising:
- arm means pivotally mounted at a location adjacent to the linear path of travel of the blade through the cutting zone;
- biasing means consisting of a spring-loaded axially movable rod yieldably urging said arm means into slidable contact with one side of said blade, said arm means thus being pivotally movable in response to lateral deviations of said blade from said path;
- and control means responsive to pivotal movement of said arm means for generating a control signal indicative of said blade deviation.
