HSRF Shifting Guide Gang Ripsaw Feeder

The HSRF is a heavy-duty solution for high-volume straight-line gang ripping operations for any fixed-arbor ripsaw where there is a desire for optimization of board yield and/or target cuts. “Smart” board-sensing automatically activates forward-board acceleration at variable feed rates, generally between 200 and 400 lineal feet per minute.

• Fixed or shifting fence
• Available with a fixed guide or a quick and accurate shifting guide actuated by an operator laser light reference or optional scanning software
• Innovative ribbed framework provides easy access for mounting other assemblies such as transfer decks

DIMENSIONAL:

• 221″ long x 84″ wide
• Roll deck height adjustable from 37″- 41″
• 63″ highest point at pinch roll frame
• Weight – 8700 lbs (estimated)

CANTED ROLL CASE:

• Eleven 4″ diameter x 35.5″ long feed rolls canted at a fixed lead angle
• Canted feed rolls driven by 2 HP gear motor and preset constant speed 334 FPM

PINCH ROLL ASSEMBLY:

• One 8″ Diameter x 34″ long steel top roll with vulcanized rubber coating in a pivot yoke weldment
• Pinch roll driven by 1 H.P. inverter-controlled variable speed gear motor
• Air cylinder actuation and tensioning
• Pinch roll system feed speed is variable via inverter drive from 200-400 FPM

LATERAL INFEED JUMP CHAIN BEAMS:

• Seven #60 pitch cross feed chains
• Cross chains driven by 1 HP single speed gear motor for 200 FPM (higher speeds optional)
• Air cylinder actuation

SHIFTING GUIDE:

• Heavy gauge structural aluminum beam mounted on two large linear bearing rails
• Shifting guide is traversed by a 1 H.P. servo gear motor
• Wear surfaces on the guide beam are faced with replaceable steel wear strips

STANDARD CONTROLS:

• NEMA 12 electrical enclosures, 460VAC standard
• A programmable logic controller (PLC) coordinates all machine functions
• All controls are mounted on a control console pendant at pinch roll area
