Title:
AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR PRECISION CUTTING CROOKED LUMBER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2007002788
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
An automated saw system for cutting a crooked piece of lumber with a mitered end and a length. The saw system includes a saw for cutting the piece of lumber, a lumber feed conveyor for feeding the piece of lumber to the saw, and a sensor that measures a deviation amount by which the piece of lumber deviates from an idealized straight piece of lumber. A controller communicates with the sensor to adjust either the saw or the conveyor in response to the detected deviation amount so that the piece of lumber is cut to correspond to a cut of the idealized straight piece of lumber.
