LOG CONDITIONING BEFORE MECHANICAL DEBARKING |
摘要 |
<p>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.</p> |
