MACHINE FOR MANUFACTURE OF PRODUCTS FROM LOG Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: processing of wood. SUBSTANCE: device has the first sawing assembly made for moving and sawing in the plane parallel with the log axis, moving in the transverse direction and sawing in the direction at an angle to the log axis, and the second sawing assembly made for moving and sawing in the plane located at an angle to the plane of sawing of the first sawing assembly and moving in the transverse direction. The sawing assemblies are made for movement along the line of intersection of the sawing planes located at a preset angle to the log axis, and the sawing members of the assemblies are positioned above the horizontal plane passing through the log axis, the radius of the sawing member of the first sawing assembly is less than the log radius. The machine is also provided with a third sawing assembly made for movement in the plane parallel with the sawing plane of the second sawing assembly, at an angle to the line of intersection of the sawing planes of the first and second sawing assemblies, the assembly sawing member is positioned above the horizontal plane passing through the log axis, the radius of the sawing member is less than the log radius. The device is additionally provided with a processing unit with one or several cutting tools. The machine provides for expansion of the device functional abilities due to production of products from wood differing in the shape, dimensions and decorative properties. EFFECT: enhanced quality of products and efficiency of use of the log material due to selection of the required log sections (sectors), as well as combination of sawing and processing of products directly on the log as a rigid base, reduced power consumed by the machine in manufacture of the product due to sawing and processing of products with a small section as compared with the log. 6 cl, 7 dwg
