Publication number: 20230132838Abstract: An automated inline rip saw system utilizing x-ray and optical scanning techniques to identify and detect flaws within a piece of wood. The present system may further utilize a precision skewing unit which may reduce or eliminate errors while allowing for precision rip cuts to be performed. Further, the present automated inline rip saw system may utilize multiple independently controlled saw blades to perform precision cuts. Finally, the present inline rip saw system may allow for more accurate detection of flaws or undesirable inclusions within the wood earlier in the wood production process, including the ability to scan for, identify, and remove sap wood from green lumber.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Applicant: Eagle Machinery & Supply, Inc.Inventors: Reuben R. Schlabach, Edward M. Hershberger, Andrew C. Sampsel, Todd A. Spillman, Kirk E. Spillman
