Flexicut
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The laterally variable cutting unit, FlexiCut, is used when a piece of timber is to be flexibly cut within a module. The cutting unit positions itself within the module between each piece of timber. Renholmen’s FlexiCut is at the forefront of developments as regards flexible cutting.
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
The machine has an overlying cutting unit. The cutting blade is positioned laterally in its uppermost position via a linear unit. The timber is cut during the downward movement, which saves time and reduces the cutting speed compared to a stationary blade. The raising/lowering movement is controlled by a slave motor for the chain conveyor via an eccentric mechanism. The piece of timber is pressed down by a blank holder to ensure optimum cutting conditions. Offcuts are removed via an underlying belt conveyor. A vacuum sawdust duct is located directly in front of the blade’s airstream, and effectively takes sawdust and dust up to an extraction connection. The cutter’s superstructure is dust-sealed, soundproofed and has an electrically interlocked service hatch.
