This system processes logs of 4-foot (1220mm), 8-foot (2440mm), and 10-foot (3050mm) lengths, with diameters ranging from 150–600mm, making it suitable for both small-batch and large-scale production. By combining CNC servo controls with hydraulic knife positioning, it achieves veneer thickness accuracy of ±0.05mm—critical for applications requiring consistent lamination, such as furniture and structural plywood. Its ability to handle diverse log species and sizes positions it as a central component in adaptive manufacturing lines.
Parameter | Value |
Log Length Range | 4' (1220mm), 8' (2440mm), 10' (3050mm) |
Log Diameter Range | 150–600mm |
Veneer Thickness | 0.5–3mm |
Thickness Accuracy | ±0.05mm |
Throughput | 8–12 logs/hour |
Power Supply | 480V, 3-phase, 60Hz |
The elimination of a central spindle enables 360° roller clamping, which supports logs at multiple contact points rather than relying on a single central axis. This design reduces core waste by 20% compared to spindle-based peelers, as it allows peeling closer to the log’s core—recovering usable veneer from logs that would otherwise be discarded. Adjustable roller spacing (50–200mm) accommodates varying log diameters and curvatures, ensuring consistent pressure distribution even on irregularly shaped logs.
A high-precision CNC servo system monitors log diameter in real-time using laser sensors, adjusting the peeling knife position 100 times per second to maintain uniform thickness as the log reduces in size. The touchscreen HMI interface allows operators to input log dimensions, species, and desired veneer thickness, with the system automatically calculating optimal peeling speed (10–30 RPM) and knife angle (15–25°) for each job. This automation reduces operator error and ensures repeatable results across production runs.
The peeling knife features hydraulic actuation that delivers precise positioning accuracy of ±0.02mm, critical for maintaining thickness consistency. An integrated air knife directs compressed air across the peeling surface, removing wood chips and debris that could cause surface defects in the veneer. To extend blade life, the system includes automatic knife sharpening that activates during log changeovers, honing the edge to a 30° angle and extending replacement intervals by 30%.
Operator safety is enhanced by an enclosed peeling chamber with interlocked access doors that prevent operation when open. Anti-slip flooring and ergonomic control positioning reduce accident risks during log loading. For efficiency, a quick-change log loader with adjustable cradles supports all three length formats, reducing changeover time between 4ft, 8ft, and 10ft logs to ≤10 minutes. Energy recovery systems capture kinetic energy during deceleration, reducing overall power consumption by 15%.
Veneer Production: Converts logs into thin sheets for plywood core layers, ensuring uniform thickness that simplifies bonding during panel assembly.
Furniture Manufacturing: Produces high-quality decorative veneer with smooth surfaces, ideal for cabinetry, doors, and high-end furniture panels.
Construction: Prepares structural veneer for cross-laminated timber (CLT) production, where consistent thickness ensures uniform load distribution in building components.
Packaging: Creates strong, thin veneer sheets for manufacturing high-strength crates and pallets, balancing durability with material efficiency.
Q: How does the spindle-less design reduce waste compared to traditional peelers?
A: By eliminating the central spindle, the system can peel logs down to a core diameter of 80mm (compared to 120–150mm with spindle-based systems), recovering an additional 0.5–1.2 square meters of veneer per log depending on original diameter.
Q: Can it handle dense hardwoods like oak or teak, which are prone to splintering during peeling?
A: Yes. The CNC adjusts peeling speed to match wood density—slowing to 10–15 RPM for hardwoods—and the hydraulic knife applies increased pressure to maintain clean cuts, minimizing splintering.
Q: What is the maximum continuous production run before maintenance is needed?
A: The system is designed for 24/7 operation, with routine maintenance (lubrication, filter checks) recommended every 400 operating hours. Major component inspections are scheduled annually.
Q: Does it support integration with quality control systems?
A: Yes. It connects to vision inspection systems via Ethernet, allowing real-time monitoring of veneer quality and automatic adjustment of peeling parameters if defects are detected.
