ENGINEERING DATUM #193

 

The ‘NG’ Lug Feeder will feed random thickness, width & length lumber from 1x2’s to 4x12’s at speeds up to 150 lugs per minute on dimension lumber.  All timing, except the backlog, is mechanical.

 (1) Start - Lumber accumulates behind the Horizontal Action Fence until at least two boards are present.    The Accelerator wheel is in the minimum radius section at this start point of a feed cycle.

 

 

 

(2) Next - The Fence slowly moves forward (downstream) allowing the lumber into the Accelerator Wheel void. This action is cam controlled.

 

(3) Then as the Fence stops moving, a UHMW faced lifting shoe on the Accelerator Wheel lifts the leading edge of the front board up and over the Fence face and also under the down pressurized Hold-down wheel.
