HEADRIG BODY
The body is of a torsion free design, rib reinforced, and fully machined for precise assembly of all the mechanical parts. See dimension .
SAW BLADE GUIDES
Top and bottom cartridge type pressure saw guide for easy resurfacing. A saw guide-grinding machine can be supplied with the headrig. The top saw guide can raise and fall with a hydraulic cylinder to accommodate for the depth of cut of the timber
BLADE LUBRICATION AND CLEANING
These very important functions are carried out by special felt pads dipping into diesel tank.
Brass scrapers clean permanently the flywheels and protect them from sawdust projection.
BLADE PROTECTION
In addition to the sheet-metal cap protecting the non working part of the blade, a guard with a synchronized descent with the higher guide protects the working part of the blade.
FLYWHEELS
Wheels are of cast iron, fully machined and furnace annealed. Static and dynamic balancing of wheels. Hydraulic tensioning of the blade with electric pump and gas accumulator for cushioning effect. Tilting of upper flywheel is done by a nut and screw system. Both flywheels are having a slight crown at 1/3 of the wheel rim from the front face.
