12 ' t-- ~ Wad kin OPERATNG PRACTCE SECTON SECTON GENEM DESCRPTON Geneal Notes on all models of Wadkin Planing and Moulding Machines A planing and moulding machine poduces planed o moulded sufaces on all fou sides of lengths of timbe, both had and softwood, at feed speeds detemined by the cutte equipment and quality of suface finish equied. A seies of 'idges' (cutte maks) is ceated on the suface of the timbe as it is moved past a otating cutteblock (see Fig ). The quality of suface finish is detemined by the numbe of knife maks pe 5mn (") (the pitch of the cutte maks). The close the pitch the bette the quality of suface finish. FG Fom expeience a good quality suface finish has knife maks at a pitch of.5 to mm. Reducing the pitch impoves the suface finish but inceases the wea on the cuttes, inceasing the pitch educes the quality. The numbe of cutte knives in a cutteblock will only be effective when all ae otating in pecisely the same cutting cicle. Two main factos influence this: a. The fit of the cutteblock on the spindle b. The concenticity of ginding. The conventional method of mounting a cutteblock is to lock a plain boe block on to a plain gound spindle with a locknut. The toleances in each component give a possible 0.05mn (0.00") cleaance in the boe and thus' eccentic unning (see Fig ). OPERATNG PRACTCE FG c-! i -_._. ~ The Wadkin Hydofix locking system eliminates this cleaance by pessuising the boe of the cutteblock onto the spindle (see Fig 3), Axial locking is not equied and a simple safety colla is ecommended to pevent the cutteblock moving axially, o otating on the spindle, if the hydaulic pessue is not applied. -- ljt <""'.~'!' '. FG 3 -! Because the Hydofix locking is also used while the knives in the cutteblock ae gound in the tooloom, it can be seen that the high accuacy of the ginding pocess is tansfeed diectly to the planing and moulding machine. This accuacy, togethe with the tue unning of the pecision spindle of the moulde, educes the unning of the knives to within 0.00 to 0.005mm of the tue cutting cicle. Howeve, this minimum un-out is still such that only one knife leaves a finishing cut, no matte how many ae in the block.! -

13 S_E_C_T_O_N l O_P_E_RA T_N_G To ensue that all the knives in a cutteblock un in an absolutely tue cutting cicle, the technique of jointing is used, in which the jointing 'stone' tues all the knives while otating at cutting speed in the planing and moulding machine (see Fig 4). FG 4 t can be seen that fo a given spindle speed and quality of suface finish (pitch of knife maks), the feed speed may be inceased in diect elationship to the numbe of knives in the cutteblock. C u tt ena k pi 't c h = Feedspeed in mm pe min Block pmxno of Cuttes Fo example x >< = m pitch fo a spindle unning at 6000 pm and a feed speed of ml nin and unjointed ( knife finishing) Jointing a 4 knife block and inceasing the feed speed to (4x ) ie: 48m/nin gives the same esulting pitch (finish). J ointing can be caied out on staight plailing blocks - 'staight' jointing, and on pofile blocks - 'plunge' jointing. The pocess of jointing, which can be epeated seveal times, poduces a heel on the knives. n the inteests of quality this must not be allowed to exceed a cetain width. This is appox 0.5mm on softwood and 0.7mm on hadwood (see Fig 5). FG 5 - Wadkin PR_A_C_T C_E -- t Both high speed steel and cabide knives may be jointed but equie a diffeent composition of jointing stone. An altenative method of inceasing output is to incease the spindle speed thus pemitting a faste feed speed fo a given quality of suface finish. 'Wadkin' can offe altenative spindle speeds up to a maximum of 5000 pm. This highest spindle speed, achieved with vey high pecision, lubicated fo life beaings, pemits a! x (50%) incease in output without jointing. Typical suface finish pitch values fo diffeent applications ae listed: Sawmilling.5 to.5.mm Joiney.5 to mm Stip moulding.3 to.0 mm Funitue to.5 mm Machine Feed Systems Push Feed (Fig 6) This oiginal method of feeding a planing and moulding machine is still povided, and consists of two top diven and two opposed bottom diven feed olls at the infeed end of the machine. An idle olle and pad pessues between the cutteheads contols the timbe down to the bed and acoss to the fence as it passes though the machine. t follows that if bowed o twisted stock is fed to the cuttes, that while a pefect pofile will be poduced, the component will be as twisted o bowed as it enteed. RG6. ~ ~ The pushfeed machine has the disadvantage that the last piece of timbe is always left in the machine; taction stops as the tailing end leaves the feedwoks. The last piece can only be etieved by following with a scap length o by evese feeding, in which case the component is unfinished. \ \'

15 ' f' ~. c Wadkin OPERATNG PRACTCE SECTON Though feed (Fig. 7) Though feed was developed to ovecome the handicap of the last piece emaining in cut, and to eliminate the heavy top and side pessues. Dive olls between each cuttehead feed the components though the machine. FG 7 <...,... A long infeed table befoe the fist bottom head, togethe with the much lighte loading on the timbe, enables staightening of the component ie: the undeside being staightened (sufaced) at the fist bottom head, and the edge (fence side) being staightened at the fist side head (see Fig 8). FG 8 An altenative method of staightening combines undeside and fence side staightening, using a single cutteblock, planing the undeside in the nomal way and machining a efeence edge with a ebating disc on the same block (see Fig 9). The above staightening techniques ae most successful on timbe which is bowed and has squae ends, typical of softwood. Fo timbe which is twisted and has out-of-squae ends, typical of some had woods, an altenative technique is povided. Gooved bed staightening (Fig 0) n this design, gooving cuttes on the fist bottom head pemit suppot in the fom of ails ight though the cut, thus peventing 'dipping in' of the twisted timbe, o 'buckling' as out-of-squae ends come into contact with each othe. The gooves on the undeside ae subsequently machined out on a second bottom head, which is obligatoy. Fitting a standad lip plate and cutteblock convets the machine to conventional use. FG 0 Hoppe Feeding (Fig ) \) To enable the opeato to feed timbe at elatively fast feed speeds and still maintain butt up, (this may be difficult on shot lengths), vaious types of hoppe feed ae available. \ FG 9 FG

16 Wadkin S_E_C_T_O N_l O_P_E_R_A_T_N_G PR_A_C_T C_E ~ Components ae stacked in a hoppe at the infeed end of the machine and automatically fed one at a time fom the bottom of the stack at a ate to ensue 'butt-up'. A slipping device pevents the hoppe feed tying to ovedive the machine feed. Feeding at vey high feed speeds, typically on tlooing, cladding etc, also pesents poblems to the opeato, again a special feeding device. (Fast feed table, Fig ) can be povided. The fast feed table, in line with the machine feed, eceives timbe fom a tilt hoist and coss chains, the diven olles in the fast feed table and an ovehead hydaulically diven nip oll ensue butt up befoe enty into the machine feedwoks, a slipping aangement pevents ovediving. FG v Outfeed Equipment Geneally used on high feed speed machines, this equipment can be povided at the outfeed end of 'Wadkin' mouldes to tansfe to anothe pocess, ie: stack, bundle, wap,. count, etc. Outfeed equipment can be povided and pogammed to pint on each component some identifying infomation. ego Job No. Date, etc. Combinations of these facilities enable the finished components to be pesented in a vaiety of ways at the outfeed end of the machine. Extm Head Positions Typically a planing and moulding machine has fou heads to machine all fou faces, these can be augmented with the addition of othe heads. The most common is a second bottom head to ensue clean up on the undeside. Whee the amount of timbe to be emoved is geat, o whee the mould detail is complex, it may be necessay to povide an exta bottom head, available as an option. Splitting (Fig 3) Spliiting is a common opeation, usually done on the last bottom head, and often equiing vey lage hose powes. Such a head is available and may be fitted with anti kick-back finges to pevent ejection towads the opeato. Only one saw can be fitted on the smalle machines, ie. Gc. FG 3 Univesal Head A univesal head, eithe thee o fou position (always last head on the machine) can be povided to ode, o the machine pepaed to fit the head at a late date. The thee position head may be used as a top head, bottom head o nea side head and at any angula position in between. The fou position head has the added capability of use as a fence side head. The univesal head gives geate tlexibility fo splitting and moulding on a conventional machine, and special pessues, chipbeakes, etc. can be povided to ensue pefect contol of the wokpiece.

The nea side head hoizontal adjustment is motoised and fitted with an encode, the motoised vetical movement of the top head and feed is also fitted with an encode. A pogammable memoy stoes the widths and thicknesses of the wokpieces to be poduced, and on command the two heads ae epositioned to the peset dimensions. n a simila manne, whee components of andom width ae machined (eg. Table tops, see Fig 5). The machine can be aanged to sense the width of the incoming pieces and automatically move the outside head tothe equied position. \Nhilst being a slow opeation, (butt feeding is not possible and the feed speed is slow), the facility does have geat advantage to some uses. fg S Feed Enhancement The 'Wadkin' push feed and though feed systems ae the esult of yeas of expeience in. the planing and moulding industy, and fo the geat majoity of wok ae exemplay. Howeve, the geat vaiety of timbes available, and the diffeent conditions in which they ae pesented to the machine is acknowledged in the vaious options available to enhance feeding and minimise bed wea. Bed ubication A lubicant is intoduced to the suface of the machine bed, fom a manual o auto pump; this educes fiction, impoves feeding capability and educes bed wea. An altenative; of intoducing ai between the timbe and the bed of the machine, can be povided fo those machines that do not have a second bottom head to machine off the small amount of oil intoduced to the undeside of the timbe, o whee the mateial being machined must not in any cicumstances be contaminated with oil. Feed Rolls The top diven feed olls of G though feed moulde ae nomally sping loaded down onto the wokpiece. The equied amount of load can vay with the natue of the wok being un, although as a geneal ule it must be as light as pacticable, and vaiation in ough timbe thickness will of couse incease the load as the feed olls yield moe. Adjustment of the loading is done at each individual ol Pneumatic loading can be povided; this has a numbe of advantages. The loading does not vay with any vaiation in lift, and the amount of loading can be changed moe easily, using an ai egulato valve. One egulato contols the loading to olls befoe the top head, and the othe egulato contols the olls afte the top head. Noise Planing and moulding machines, by vitue of the numbe of cutte heads and the speed of the heads, poduce high noise levels, typically between 95dB and 5dB when cutting. The woodwoking machine egulations equie that an opeato is not to be subjected to noise levels above 90 dba fo 8 hous, some pecautions ae theefoe equied, and a safety! acoustic cove can be supplied fo this pupose. t should be noted howeve that even with a sound enclosue, unde some cicumstances, because of 'beak out' (at say the infeed end), the noise level at the opeating positions will be above 90 dba. Fo pesonal safety easons the opeato should wea ea defendes. WARNNG Befoe opeating the machine ead the Peface and Notice to Opeatos in Section 3, Opeating nstuctions. -5
