Abstract: The present invention includes an apparatus for preparing a flitch for slicing where the flitch includes a veneer-producing zone and a staylog-engaging zone. The apparatus comprises a drill mechanism for drilling a plurality of holes in the flitch and a mechanism for holding a flitch in a predetermined orientation relative to the drill mechanism. The holes are arranged in a predetermined pattern and extend from a flitch mounting surface to the veneer-producing zone so as to define a boundary between the veneer-producing zone and the staylog-engaging zone. A method for preparing a flitch for slicing comprises the steps of positioning the flitch in a preparing position and forming a plurality of dog-receiving holes in the flitch in a predetermined pattern so that each hole extends through the staylog-engaging zone to the veneer-producing zone. The flitch is mounted on the staylog by aligning the plurality of dog-receiving holes with a plurality of dogs coupled to the staylog and inserting the dogs into the dog-receiving holes and moving the flitch into engagement with the dogs.

Abstract: A vacuum valve includes a valve body with a cylindrical sidewall having a vacuum inlet coupled to a vacuum source and a vacuum outlet. A piston is disposed within the valve body for movement between an open position and a closed position and provides a vacuum port that extends between the vacuum inlet and the vacuum outlet when the piston is in the open position. The valve also includes means for cooperating with a vacuum source to remove material from the vacuum valve as the piston moves between the open and closed positions. The vacuum port of the piston includes a reduced diameter portion that provides a passageway for vacuum and debris. A sharp edge, preferably an annular knife edge, circumferentially surrounds the piston adjacent, and extending into, the reduced diameter portion. The annular knife edge is oriented to provide a cutting stroke during movement of the piston from the open position to the closed position. As the piston moves from the open position to the closed position, the annular knife cuts any debris remaining in the vacuum inlet or outlet and retains the debris in the reduced diameter portion until the piston moves back to the open position, whereupon the vacuum from the vacuum source sucks the debris out of the valve.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method and apparatus for cutting veneer from a tapered flitch so as to minimize the amount of waste veneer taken from the outside, or veneer-producing zone, of a flitch. A flitch is mounted to a staylog and oriented so that the veneer-producing zone is parallel to the veneer-slicing knife and the staylog is rotated to move the flitch past the veneer-slicing knife. In some embodiments, the flitch is mounted to the staylog so that the flitch mounting surface is in a non-parallel relation to the staylog mounting surface. In alternative embodiments, the flitch mounting surface is positioned adjacent the staylog mounting surface, and the staylog, or just the staylog mounting surface, is oriented to position the veneer-producing zone in a parallel relation with the veneer-slicing knife.

Abstract: A system permits the apparatus for slicing veneer from a flitch to be initially adjusted and to be operated efficiently and reliably. The system includes an improved pressure plate adjustment means as part of the apparatus, including an electric drive for each end of the pressure plate to quickly and accurately position the pressure plate relative to the edge of the veneer cutting blade. By simply pressing push buttons controlling the two electric drives, each end of the pressure plate can be caused to move forward or backward in precise increments of less than 0.001 inch and to be quickly and accurately vertically aligned with the cutting blade edge. Thereafter, the desired spacing can be set on a control console by means of thumbwheel switches and a computer means will automatically position the pressure plate to achieve the desired spacing. The system further includes a blade advance means which effects both the movement of the cutting blade away from the flitch prior to each return stroke of the flitch table, and toward the flitch table to be positioned for accurate slicing of each layer of veneer during each slicing stroke. The blade advance means includes a separate electric motor drive coupled to the carriage and controlled from the control console from which veneer thickness can also be set. By simply setting the veneer thickness on the console, the electric motor drive will automatically advance the carriage, and the cutting blade supported thereon, forward by the desired distance following each slicing operation to position the blade relative to the flitch for the next slicing operation.
