How to Improve the Efficiency of Wood Planer?
The way to improve the economic benefits of using powermatic planer is the same as that of table saws machines, mainly to increase productivity, reduce power consumption and wood loss.
(1) In order to improve production efficiency, two vertical cutter heads can be added to the back of the single-side wood lathes, that is, a three-side helical planer head, which can plan 3 surfaces at a time, thereby greatly improving productivity.
(2) Wipe kerosene or other lubricating oil on the table surface to keep the table surface smooth and increase the feeding speed. This is especially effective for planing pine. In addition, frequent removal of resin and parking to clean the wood chips between the drum and the table are also important measures for increasing production and energy saving.
(3) According to the nature of the wood and the planing conditions, the helical jointer should be replaced and re-ground. If the planer is too blunt, the planing is unfavorable, and it is easy to produce shock and vibration, resulting in high power consumption and low workpiece quality.
(4) Try to expand the processing range. For example, the special template can be used to plan curved surfaces, various inclined surfaces and tapered workpieces, etc.; the oblique feed method can be used to plan wood components such as assembled frame fans.
(5) Batch production and continuous feeding.
(6) Increase the tool speed appropriately. When the feeding speed is constant, the higher the cutting speed, the smaller the corrugation depth produced on the wood surface, and the higher the processing quality.
A milling cutter that uses helical cutterhead instead of random cutting
Professor Roland of the Technical University of Dresden in Germany has a high level of accomplishments in the design of modern spiral milling tools. Current milling cutters have many shortcomings, especially noise and dust during milling. High-speed milling is accompanied by high-speed splashing chips, which requires the equipment to have a chip collection system. There are various complex shapes on the outer surface of milling tools. It is inevitable that the tool curve trajectory and compression are left on the workpiece during forming milling. Professor Roland uses a new type of rotary milling tool in the wood milling process to reduce the complex surface of the tool outer contour as much as possible to reduce other defects caused by the change of the tool shape. Under the guidance of this design idea, the cutting edge is designed as a spiral line similar to a rotating shaft, with a slope of 1:10, that is, a very large inclination angle. When this kind of tool rotates, the cutting edge has two compound movements. The tangential movement affects the tearing and cutting, while the axial direction conveys the cut chips. If you want to improve the performance of the planer jointer machine, you can achieve very good results by adjusting the blade angle, which is a very effective method.
spiral cutter head—can reduce costs for sheet metal processing
The traditional tool is 14.27 yuan per hour, and the spiral tool is 3.75 yuan per hour. The cutting resistance value of the spiral knife is 1/3 of the traditional tool, which can save 30% of the electricity. The production cost can be greatly reduced. The cost of dismantling and grinding can be greatly reduced.
So that's why more and more woodworking worker will change to use spiral cutter head !
