PEELING APPARATUS

摘要

PEELING APPARATUS Peeling apparatus includes opposite clamping devices engageable with opposite ends of a workpiece for carrying same longitudinally through a cutter head. Support bearings for the clamping devices are located on opposite sides of the cutter head, and are longitudinally movable for maintaining same as close as possible to the workpiece end faces. This minimizes the length of the clamping devices between the support bearing and the workpiece end faces, and thereby reduces vibrations. The support bearings include hydrostatic support devices transversely engaging the clamping devices to minimize vibration by eliminating transverse play between the parts.
