This is obtained from a carefull design and a precise manufacture of a heavy duty mechanical construction. Hardened spindles, assembled with sealed precision bearings, lubricated under pressure. DC self-braking motor with a continuously adjustable speed, directly coupled to the main shaft of the lathe, allows the best performance. Knife bar heads, fitted with double guides and replaceable linings. Ball screw drives are used to assure a zero-play, precise and reliable movement of the carriage.
Carriage runs on guides covered with chromed steel plates.
Rubber scrapers keep guides permanently clean. Especially adjustable nose bar for applying uniform pressure to log, according to the different wood density. Carriage is self-adjustable, according to diameter of the charged log. The peeling progress is controlled by photoelectric sensors. Double-chain drive is oil bath lubricated, for obtaining a silent and efficient torque at the highest speeds.
