METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STACKING OF TIMBER AND DEPOSITING LATHS AND A METHOD FOR USING A LATH

摘要

The invention concerns a method and an arrangement for the formation of a stack of timber during the output feed of layers of timber (2) by placing laths (5) between different layers. According to the method, a combination of any of the following steps is carried out: (i) that a lath-deposition means (10), gripping the rear end of a lath (5) feeds the lath as the forward feed motion (6a) of the layer-deposition means (1 ) such that laths and layers of timber carry out transversely directed relative motion at different levels above a lift arrangement (3): ( ii) that the lath-deposition means (10) feeds the lath to interact with the upper surface of a layer of timber (2) and retains its interaction with the rear end of the lath (5), such that the layer-deposition means (1) carries out a return motion from a lift arrangement (3) while the lath-deposition means retains its grip on the lath.
