Abstract
A flexible mounting system principally developped for ring-type log debarkers comprises a combination of freely oscillating supporting links and weight compensating pneumatic devices, arranged in such a way as to allow the working tool assembly of the debarker to move in any direction in response to external forces exerted upon it by the longitudinal feed motion or the shape irregularities of the log.
Claims16
A flexible mounting system for log debarking equipment such as ring-type log debarking units and log guiding units associated with said log debarking units, each said unit having a separate frame structure, said system comprising:
- support means mounted to a stationary base;
- and
- oscillating means connecting said support means to said frame structure allowing said frame structure to float freely with respect to said stationary base upon impact from incoming logs and as a result of off-centering pressures generated by logs being processed.
