Abstract
The problem in previously known stay log-type veneer slicers in which a large block of wood is directed in an eccentrically rotating manner past a knife consists of the fact that a remaining block that cannot be sliced has to be removed by hand from a girder structure on which the block is mounted. Hence, the downtime for removing the remaining block and mounting a new block of wood is relatively long. The aim of the invention is therefore to create a stay log-type veneer slicer that has a reduced downtime. Said aim is achieved by disposing means for discarding the block of wood (16) and a device for automatically conveying away the discarded block of wood on the girder structure (12).
Claims8
A veneer-slicing machine comprising:
- a frame;
- a log beam extending along and rotatable on the frame about an axis and having a generally planar and longitudinally extending support face;
- means for securing an elongated flitch to the support face;
- a blade on the frame having a cutting edge extending substantially parallel to the axis and displaceable on the frame transversely of the axis, whereby, when the log beam is rotated to orbit the flitch about the axis and the blade is displaced into the orbit of the flitch, the blade slices veneer from the flitch;
- means on the beam for, when the securing means has released the flitch, knocking the flitch off the face;
- and
- means adjacent the beam for transporting away a flitch knocked off the face.
