Method for multiple cutting long rods or tubular work pieces in continuous process e.g. wood

摘要

The work pieces (W) lie on parallel rails, perpendicular to their length, and are transferred one by one by a vice arrangement to the cutting position. The work pieces are supported horizontally on rails (12) and are taken in turn to the transfer path (13) and held in a vice (16) which can move on a carriage (18) between two extremities (X,Y) on the path to position the work piece correctly at the cutter (45).
