Abstract:
The method of the present invention realizes accurate control of the feed rate in a veneer lathe under a centerless condition and improves the productivity of the veneer lathe. After spindles (8a) are moved away and disengaged from the axial ends of a log (11), that is, under the centerless condition, the method of the invention controls the feed rate of a knife carriage (9) based on the current rotating speed of the log (11), which is measured by a speed measuring device (7) engaged with the periphery of the log (11). When a difference between the current rotating speed of the log (11) measured by the speed measuring device (7) and a theoretical rotating speed of the log (11) driven by a peripheral drive system (2) exceeds a preset level, the method of the present invention stops the feeding operation of knife carriage (9) and thereby the veneer peeling operation of the veneer lathe. This structure effectively prevents the lowered productivity of veneers and keeps the veneers free from obvious or conspicuous traces of engagement with the peripheral drive system or cracks due to the insufficient synchronism of the veneer lathe with a subsequent veneer processing apparatus.
Abstract:
Helical protrusion portions are formed on a peripheral side surface face of a bobbin, and a helical element is screwed into the helical grooves formed between the helical protrusion portions. The lower end of the bobbing is screwed onto an attachment fitting provided with a first collar portion at an intermediate portion and a second collar portion at the end. The depth of the helical groove portions becomes gradually shallower toward the leading end of the helical protrusion portions, and the helical protrusion portions formed on the lower end of the bobbin are formed higher, so that the position of the helical element is stabilized. Thus, deviation of the resonance point of the helical element can be prevented.
Abstract:
A method of controlling the clearance angle of a veneer knife in a veneer lathe under a spindleless condition is applied to a veneer lathe that includes the veneer knife, at least three rollers, feed mechanisms coupled to at least two of the rollers for feeding the rollers, and a drive system coupled to at least one of the rollers for rotatably driving thereof, wherein the rollers to which the drive system is coupled supplies all the driving force required for rotating the log while each roller to which the feed mechanism is coupled are fed to hold the log while the log is peeled by the veneer knife. The method comprises the steps of setting a shifting amount based on a predetermined reduction in the diameter of the log from a predetermined first diameter to a predetermined second diameter and automatically shifting the rotational axis of the log in the direction perpendicular to the plane extending between the rotational axis of the log and the cutting edge of the veneer knife by the shifting amount during veneer peeling.
Abstract:
Veneer handling apparatus having a veneer clipper at one end thereof and a veneer sheet stacker at the other end is disclosed. Veneer sheets cut into a format size by the clipper are sorted so as to allow defective sheets to be discharged from the apparatus. Sound veneer sheets sorted from the defective sheets are distributed selectively into two ways alternately. Two conveyors arranged one above the other and converging at a position adjacent their downstream ends are provided in the apparatus, and one sheet is distributed to the upper conveyor and stopped at a predetermined position thereon until its succeeding sheet distributed to the lower conveyor is moved to another predetermined position. The sheet on the upper conveyor is allowed to move again at such controlled time that it is combined at the converging position with the succeeding sheet moving on the lower conveyor into a pair with one sheet placed over the other. This pair of combined veneer sheets is fed into the stacker with sufficient space formed between another pair of similarly combined sheets that follows.

Abstract:
A method of controlling the feed of the backup rolls of a log backup apparatus for use in a veneer lathe for preventing a log from bowing while veneer is peeled from the log. The method comprises the step of centripetally feeding the backup rolls from a control-start diameter .PHI. at a provisional feed rate f which is higher than a predetermined feed rate F by a feed rate of a pre-selected correction value .alpha. per log rotation. The aforementioned control-start diameter .PHI. is slightly larger than the diameter of the log at which the backup rolls are brought into contact with the log. The method further comprises the steps of stopping the centripetal feeding of the backup rolls at the provisional feed rate f when the bowing is eliminated from the log and thereafter centripetally feeding the backup rolls at the predetermined feed rate F, thereby eliminating the bowing that occurs during the veneer peeling from the log.
