An apparatus forming part of a filletting machine for removing meat from the skeleton of fish in the region of the ribs is described, through which the fish are conveyed with their tails leading and guided by guides which penetrate into cuts already performed for cutting free the belly and back spokes. The removal of meat from the ribs is performed by means of a tool, which comprises a scraping knife arranged on each side of the belly-cut guides and extending in a plane which forms an angle of between 10 degree and 50 degree with the guidance plane defined by the belly-cut and back-cut guides.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plywood
  • Facilities and Equipment (Wood Industries)
DEF

A special type of sensor used in determining the veneer lathe pitch control.

OBS

The angle of the lathe knife largely determines uniformity of the veneer thickness as the log is peeled. The height and slope of the pitch rails, upon which the knife assembly and carriage ride, control the knife angle.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Contreplaqués
  • Installations et équipement (Industr. du bois)
DEF

Type de capteur servant à apprécier très finement la position de la surface d'une bille de bois, au moment du déroulage, et ainsi à régler l'avance du couteau à chaque tour de bille.

CONT

Comme au tranchage, la qualité du placage dépend non seulement de l'état du bois [...] mais aussi du réglage des outils de la dérouleuse. [...] En ce qui concerne la dépouille, si le couteau se déplaçait parallèlement à lui-même au cours du déroulage, l'appui (surface de contact entre le biseau du couteau et le bois) se réduirait de plus en plus. Or, il faut, autant que possible, qu'il soit maintenu constant pendant tout le déroulage [...] Pour cela, la dérouleuse est munie d'un dispositif de variation automatique de dépouille [...]
