Chipping
Section
Bottom Head: The bottom head
produces a key on the bottom of the log that is used to guide the log
through the rest of the chipping module, running on a heavy machined guide
bar.
Side Heads: This side heads
machine material off of each side of the log as it passes between them. The
side heads are mounted in heavy frames that slide on a machined slide base.
Hydraulic linear positioner cylinders move the heads to make various cant
widths. Each side head frame carries a driven vertical feed roll to help
pull cants through the machine.
Top Head: The top head machines
off the top surface of cants as they pass underneath it. The head is mounted
in a heavy frame that slides vertically on a machined slide base. A
hydraulic linear positioner cylinder moves the head to make various cant
heights. The top head module features two driven horizontal feed rolls to
help pull cants through the machine.
Guide Bar: This is the heart of
the chipping canter. Cone makes the best one available, virtually
indestructible. Made from 3� thick plates, it mates with the canter bottom
head frame, side head slide base, and top head frame to form a solid unit.
Hard chromed replaceable guide shoes bolt to the top surface; these are
custom machined to match the profile made by the bottom head.
