Abstract
An apparatus for finishing wood (cants) comprises a circular saw (6) which can be reciprocated (double arrow 7) in the cutting plane (11), and several clamping trestles (1) for holding the piece of wood to be divided, these trestles being adjustable perpendicularly to the cutting plane (11) in order to set the cutting position. Furthermore, supports (3) are provided for the wood, wherein the lower clamping jaws (2) of the clamping trestles (1) can be lowered underneath the supports (3). The saw (6) is designed for forward and rearward cutting so that, with each stroke of the saw, a cut can be executed. For feeding the pieces of wood to be divided, inclined conveyor belts (13) are provided which deposit the pieces of wood on lifting tables (12), the latter then placing such pieces onto the supports (3) for the wood.
Claims14
Apparatus for dividing elongate wood comprising:
- a device for holding the wood, a saw unit displaceable in parallel to the longitudinal extension of the wood for executing the dividing work, and means for feeding the wood to be divided in a direction transverse to the direction of motion of the saw unit;
- said device for holding the wood being adjustable transverse to the direction of movement of the saw unit in order to set the cutting position, and including clamping trestles, each clamping trestle having upper and lower clamping jaws engaging the wood from above and from below, slideways from the clamping trestles and supports for the wood, said supports having cutouts for lowering the lower clamping jaws supported at the clamping trestles through said cutouts below the supports;
- said saw unit being guided on a stationary guide means and being effective toward two sides;
- said means for feeding the wood comprising a longitudinal conveyor and at least two transverse conveyors extending from the longitudinal conveyor obliquely over the clamping trestles, and lifting tables arranged beside each support, said tables being raisable from a ready position wherein they are lowered beneath the supports into a transfer position, wherein they are arranged beside the ends of the transverse conveyors on a delivery side.
