FACE CUTTING SYSTEM [6 records]

Record 1 2016-03-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Wood Sawing
DEF

A system, applied to lumber(mainly hardwood lumber) that is likely to be cross-cut and/or ripped before use, which determines the grade of a piece according to the % of the total surface(generally of the worse face), as calculated in cutting units, that can be included in a specified number of clear face or sound face cuttings of a certain minimum size.

Key term(s)
  • cutting unit method

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciage du bois
DEF

Estimation du rendement d'une pièce de bois devant être débitée, par son côté le moins avantagé, afin de procéder à son classement.

CONT

A Soltau Model RVS 250-AS-STS microtunneling machine with a slurry spoil removal system was selected on a lease arrangement to install the 24-in. sewer line. A mixed face cutting head configuration was selected in anticipation of the varying ground conditions. The unit is supplied with high pressure water jets which have proven effective in boring through dense clays. The RVS 250-AS-STS involves two new innovations. First, it utilizes a state-of-the-art laser guidance system coupled with a completely digital operator control panel with continuous, up-to-date information on the tunneling process. A data logger, which can record data at specific time intervals or length of pipe jacked, also provides for a permanent record of the operation.

OBS

Microtunneler may also refer to the one who operates the machine.

Record 3 2008-09-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Wood Sawing
DEF

Under the cutting system of grading, a cutting that is free of all visible defects on the face graded(other than certain minor defects allowed in some grades in certain grading rules) while the reverse face must not be worse than as defined under a sound face cutting.

Key term(s)
  • clear face cutting

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciage du bois
DEF

Partie d'une face exempte de défauts sur toute sa largeur.

Record 4 2001-10-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mining Equipment and Tools
CONT

Constant depth linear cutting(CDLC) provides a long-term solution to excessive dust generation from shearers and continuous mining machines through a new design of the rotary drum cutting system.... The CDLC concept is designed to cut a full face by using an eccentrically mounted triangular shaped drum. In addition to breaking to a free face with no secondary fragmentation, the CDLC will have a bit velocity well below the minimums needed for phase shifts in the bit metals or for methane ignition.
