What is the working principle of the cardless rotary cutting machine
The working principle of the cardless rotary cutting machine is as follows:
Raw wood placement and driving:
Place the logs in a specific location, usually between two friction rollers. One of the friction rollers is driven to rotate by a motor, which drives the log to rotate through friction. The other friction roller plays a role in assisting and stabilizing the logs.
Cutting tools:
The cutting tools of the rotary cutting machine are set at a certain angle to the logs. When the log is rotated by the friction roller, the cutting tool will gradually feed along the axis of the log. The cutting tool will cut the outer surface of the log into continuous thin sheet veneers while feeding. The feed rate and cutting depth of the cutting tool need to be precisely controlled based on factors such as the diameter of the log, the type of wood, and the required thickness of the veneer.
Single board output:
With the continuous rotation of the logs and the cutting of the cutting tools, the cut veneer will be output in a certain direction. Generally, there will be a conveyor device to transport the single board to the subsequent processing or collection area.
Remaining wood core processing:
As the rotary cutting process progresses, the diameter of the log will gradually decrease, eventually forming a smaller core. When the diameter of the wood core reaches a certain level (usually determined by the minimum diameter set by the equipment), the rotary cutting process ends. Wood cores can be further processed or recycled as needed.
The cardless rotary cutting machine uses friction rollers to drive the rotation of logs, and then uses the principle of cutting tools to produce veneers. This working method has the advantages of easy operation and high production efficiency, and is suitable for rotary cutting of small diameter logs.
