INNOVATIVE WOODWORKING MACHINERY & EXPERTISE
Comprising of a heavy duty model MRS multi rip saw with 3 x moving blades and 1 x fixed blade linked to a QUICK RIP infeed automatic feeding and timber rip optimisation system. As standard the saw is equipped with a 50 hp main motor with electric power rise / fall of the saw blade and top pressure unit with adj. pneumatic pressure to the rollers.
In addition it has variable feed to the feed chain which also has polyurethane inserts. There is also a powered outfeed roller. For board alignment and optimisation there are 4 x overhead laser lights mounted on a gantry. The laser positioning / board alignment / feeding is all controlled from the QUICK RIP via its software and communication package linked to the saw.
The QUICK RIP itself can handle boards up to 4.9m (16ft) in length. It is fitted with 16 x width laser scanners each at 300mm spacing which allows the width of the board. along the full length, to be accurately scanned thus giving the best possibility to achieve the maximum yield.
The general method of operation is that the operator loads the board on to the drop arms which then intern lowers it on to the special servo controlled cross transfer belts that then accelerate the board past the laser scanners that measure the boards width.
The belt then very accurately positions the board under the laser lights to present the operator with best optimum rip combination based on the size and shape of the board, with the belts automatically SKEWING the board if it slightly bent or not uniform - thus helping to maximise yield. The operator then selects the process button and the board is pinched between top / bottom drive rollers and fed in to the multirip saw for cutting. At this point the next board to be processed is already being scanned for width thus maximising production output.
The operator also has a number of options to manually adjust the laser positions if required or skip to the next best cutting solution the software has given. Another added advantage of this system is that the operator stands at the side of the saw not directly in front of the feeding area so eliminating the danger of 'sliver' kick backs.
The Cameron 'Optirip' software not only optimises the board width to give the best ripping combinations, it also has a number of other important features such as tallying the timber infeed / outfeed, calculates the most profitable rip combination based £ value, downloading of customer orders, production reports and the option to rip for maximum yield, value or for a required amount. Programming can be done either at the machine on the touch screen control panel or alternatively in the office with the cutting data being transferred by USB pen or via network cable.
Overall some of the main advantages of this system include a 7 to 10% increase in yield when compared to hand feeding, extremely accurate positioning of the boards (no yield loss due to misalignment) and increased operator safety and increased productivity.
On request the Quickrip can be supplied to fit existing multirip saws.
