Abstract

A guide dresser for cutting or machining a saw guide includes a carriage assembly on which the saw guide is mounted. The carriage assembly includes a faceplate and a retaining plate for engaging opposed surfaces of the saw guide. A rod extends from the faceplate through the saw guide and the retaining plate, with at least a portion of the rod being threaded. A load cell is placed against the retaining plate and a nut is threaded along the rod until the saw guide is clamped against the faceplate. The load cell is able to convert the force exerted by the nut against the load cell into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is transmitted to a computer, which is able to determine a measurement of the torque exerted by the nut.

Abstract

This invention is a leveling mechanism that provides an adjustable datum to align a circular gang saw machine in a sawmill. The adjustability of the mechanism comes from a plurality of wedge prisms connected in series. The relative rotation of the wedges offsets the datum surface from the normal plane of the shaft. It creates a leveled mounting surface even when the shaft is misaligned. The entire assembly is fastened over flat surfaces along with spigots and corresponding counterbores. This configuration allows the system to take on a large amount of forces. Above all else, the reaction cutting forces from the machine has no influence on the relative rotating motion. As a result, the leveling mechanism will not go out of alignment over time caused by vibration or any other means.
