GIBSON CHAIN SAW PACK DOCKINGS SYSTEM
Since 1896, the primary objective of AE Gibson and Sons has been to maintain a leading position in the design and manufacture of sawmilling, materials handling, general engineering and associated sawmilling equipment. Our Pack Docker Solutions are designed and customised to your project needs.
SPECS:
- Frame – 460 UC with 300 UB legs. 8m long
- Alignment – steel alignment stands.
Docking Saw
- Cutter bar = 84” (63” effective cutting) 404” chain.
- Bar complete with nose assembly and arch guide.
- Automatic chain tensioner
- Electric oil lubrication pump
- 11kw drive
- 1.5kw docking carriage drive
Control
The unit is supplied complied with MCC and control panel complete with cable and 3 point plug.
The control panel is mounted on the docking saw unit and consists of an emergency stop/power on button and H.M.I unit for system operation.
Sizing / Mode of Operation
The system is controlled by a PLC control system an a movi-drive inverter which positions the docker carriage by means of sprocket and chain.
Operator positions docker for zero cut by inching unit to required position. Operator them selects one of the 20 pre programmed cutting solutions (all solutions can be readily altered/reprogrammed).
When the pre-programmed pattern is activated the docker sequence will commence and complete the docking cycle. It then indexes into position for the next cut, recommences docking cycle and continues until full pattern is completed. The docker then returns to home position indicating that the sequencing has been completed.
A warning system is activated whilst the machine is in sequence for operator awareness and safety.
