ABSTRACT:
A veneer-slicing apparatus includes a flitch table movable relative to a carriage which carries a cutting blade for slicing veneer sheets from the flitch. The cutting blade is mounted on a blade carrier that is rotatable relative to the carriage. The apparatus further includes a remotely operable mechanism for adjusting the angle of attack of the cutting blade relative to the flitch by rotating the blade carrier relative to the carriage. The adjusting mechanism includes an electrohydraulic cylinder and piston coupled to the carriage and the cutting blade, a hydraulic fluid flow control valve, a piston position sensor, a computer, and an operator console. All of the components of the adjusting mechanism are electrically coupled to each other. The computer receives operator commands indicating a desired blade angle from the operator console, compares the actual blade angle with the desired blade angle, and actuates the electrohydraulic piston and cylinder, through the hydraulic flow control valve, to change the actual blade angle to the desired blade angle.
