Abstract
In order to be able to cut short workpieces by means of a multiple blade circular sawing machine a separate depresser member is provided for each saw blade. This depresser member has a slot which extends in the longitudinal direction of this member and through which the respective saw blade projects. A depresser member is so connected to an associated displacer head that together therewith it is displaceable to a defined position and is fixable in this position. Furthermore, at least one presser roller is provided in each depresser blade on both sides of the saw blade in the sawing region and the workpiece to be sawn is pressed thereby against a conveyor chain.
Claims7
A multiple blade circular saw machine comprising
- (a) conveyor means for continuously advancing a workpiece in a given direction;
- (b) a driving shaft extending transversely to the advancing direction, above the conveyor means;
- (c) at least two circular saw blades coaxially mounted on the driving shaft at spaced-apart positions, the saw blades rotating with the shaft;
- (d) at least two elongate depresser members extending parallel to the advancing direction, between the driving shaft and the conveyor means, each depresser member having a longitudinal slot through which a respective one of the saw blades extends, at least one presser roller being mounted on the depresser member upstream of the shaft with respect to the advancing direction, and at least one presser roller being mounted on the depresser member downstream of the shaft, the presser rollers extending beneath the depresser member adjacent the respective saw blade so as to press the workpiece against the conveyor means;
- and
- (e) at least one displacer head defining the location of a respective one of the saw blades along the shaft, the displacer head being movable along the shaft together with the respective saw blade and being fixable at a given position, the respective depresser member being mounted on the respective displacer head.
