Abstract:
The present devices for branch trimming of tree are expensive and the branch trimming performed manually is slow and dangerous. To the device in accordance with the invention belong a frame (1), which is formed from a bent shaped bottom (2) and with the bottom attached side edges (3), on the frame turnable and detachably connected a cover part (4) and a fastening element (5), which is arranged to press the end (6) of the cover part in the direction of the frame when the device is placed around the tree to be branch trimmed and when moving the tree in regard of the device.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a harvester for timber harvesting, which includes a frame (10) to be attached to the boom of a work machine, to which frame are fitted - a cutting device (11, 12), - a delimbing-blade arrangement (13), which includes one or more delimbing blades (13.1-13.3, 36), and - a feed device (25) equipped with rotating members (14) for delimbing a tree (22) using the delimbing-blade arrangement. The harvester includes pulsed-feed means (19, 30), which are arranged to be activated when a resistance according to a set criterion is detected in the feed device. In addition, the invention also relates to a method in timber harvesting using a harvester.
Abstract:
High powered lasers are used to score the bark on logs before they are mechanically debarked. Typical of the lasers employed are multi-kilowatt CO2 industrial lasers. A high powered laser beam is brought to a focus just above the surface of the bark on the log. A jet of compressed air is blown coaxially with the beam and facilitates the beam's formation of a narrow slot in the surface of the bark. Logs are advanced and rotated by a plurality of parallel augers extending across the base of a trough. The lasers are positioned in a gap beneath and in between sets of augers. The beam's focus may be adjustable with respect to the bark's surface. The motion of the log with respect to a laser head produces a spiral cut along the surface of the log which slices the long fibers in the bark,

High powered lasers are used to score the bark (28) on logs (26) before they are mechanically debarked. Typical of the lasers employed are multi-kilowatt CO2 industrial lasers. A high powered laser beam (20) is brought to a focus just above the surface of the bark (28) on the log (26). A jet of compressed air is blown co-axially with the beam and facilitates the beam's formation of a narrow slot in the surface of the bark. Logs are advanced and rotated by a plurality of parallel augers (42) extending across the base of a trough (40). The lasers are positioned in a gap beneath and in between sets of augers. The beam's focus may be adjustable with respect to the bark's surface. The motion of the log with respect to a laser head produces a spiral cut along the surface of the log which slices the long fibers in the bark.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus (10,12) are disclosed for debarking logs. A plurality of intersecting helical cuts are performed, penetrating the bark layer, thereby defining discrete bark pieces of nominal size. The present invention includes scraping tools for dislodging the bark from the log.

Abstract:
57 Bei einer Vorrichtung zum Entasten und/oder Entrinden von Baumstämmen bestehend aus einem Rahmen (1) sowie einem als Aufnahmemulde für die durchziehenden Baumstämme ausgebildeten Tragrahmen (7) und einem an einem mittels eines Hubzylinders (30) bewegbaren Ausleger (23) angeordneten absenkbaren Teils (20) sind an letzterem wie auch am Tragrahmen (7) Messer (43, 46) vorgesehen. Diesen Messern (43, 46) sind Antriebselemente (42, 44) zugeordnet, welche eine gesteuerte Bewegung der Messer (43, 46) in eine X- und/oder Y-Richtung erlaubt.
Abstract:
A log processing head with a top knife and moveable feed means and delimbing and/or debarking means pushing a log against the top knife by means of actuators. In order to allow the top knife to follow the contour of the log without damaging a pin holding the knife, a pivot joint is used between the knife and the connection of the pin on the structure.
