To ensure a normal sawing process, it is necessary to ensure that the guides are always positioned parallel to the belt itself.
To ensure a normal sawing process, it is necessary to ensure that the guides are always positioned parallel to the belt itself.
It is very important to achieve periodic contact between the web and the guides, otherwise the materials will heat up due to strong friction.
The web support function should not prevail during operation, as frequent overheating will lead to the inevitable destruction of the metal.
To avoid constant contact and subsequent temperature rise, adjustment will allow, which is carried out based on the instructions of the operating manual.
As a rule, the instruction comes with each machine, and it helps to understand the smallest nuances of the device.
The ideal parameters for operation are as follows: For any type of guide rails (be they rollers or plates), the gap should be within 0.003 inches.
By constantly measuring the gap with a probe, you can easily get the required value.
The distance between the back of the canvas and its guide must be kept within the range from 0.03 to 0.015 inches.
There is another equally important aspect in adjusting the guides.
It is always necessary to strive to ensure that the workpiece and the guides are parallel to each other.
What is it for?
The thing is that the location of the guides strictly along the saw itself allows you to process the workpiece more efficiently and accurately.
Movable guides must be positioned as close as possible to the object being processed (log or beam).
Sometimes it is not easy to achieve this, so the logs are first sorted by size.
The separation by diameter allows you to achieve the closest possible location of the guides on the smallest log.
It is important to remember that a distance of more than 1 inch between the edge of the workpiece and the guide will lead to a large cull of lumber.
The equipment used for gentle logging wears out one way or another.
Gradually, the parts are being worked out and cannot ensure the proper quality of wood processing.
Also, the equipment often gets damaged during transportation through forests.
When gentle harvesting is carried out, it is not uncommon for the main belt to fall off.
If this happens, then due to the sharply increased load, there is a high probability of rupture of the canvas.
