METHOD AND DEVICE FOR LOCATION OF OPTIMUM AXIS OF LOG PEELING AND POINTS OF MAXIMUM RADIUS OF LOG SURFACE RELATIVE TO OPTIMUM PEELING AXIS Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B27L5/02 

FIELD: wood-working industry, displayer method of location of the optimum peeling axis and the point of the maximum radius of the log peripheral surface relative to the determined location of the optimum axis of peeling on the log peripheral surface and device for realization of the method.

SUBSTANCE: the device has a great number of rocking members each having a contact surface, which rocks in contact with the log peripheral surface so as to follow the log peripheral profile at its rotation about its preliminary axis. The angular positions of the contact surfaces relative to the original position are measured in a number of the log angular positions located in an interval. On the basis of the measured angular positions of the contact surfaces the radial distances of the log from the great number of the preset locations are calculated on the optimum peeling axis to the selected contact surfaces for comparison of such radial distances. The distance having the greatest value relative to the point of the maximum radius is considered to be point the point of the maximum log radius.

EFFECT: enhanced production of veneer on a veneer machine.
