which eliminates the need to adjust the
end-position cushioning. The mechanics no
longer have to reach for their screwdriver.
“PPS cushioning speeds up our production
process because it always adjusts itself
perfectly,” says Ulf Bodare, Managing
director of Söderhamn Eriksson Catech AB.
“And it saves our customers time because
readjustment of the numerous cylinders,
which frequently used to be required, is no
longer necessary. Beyond this, it’s simple
and the price is right.”
The self-adjusting cushioning always reacts
perfectly, resulting in less shock. This
increases the service life of the cylinders
because of lower wear – and also keeps
noise levels under control. And the planning
effort in selecting the right cylinder is
reduced since there is no need to think
about the right cushioning.
High-tech for top quality
The complete high-tech package for these
high-performance edgers includes valuable
optical and sensor technology with measur-
ing heads. These are responsible for the
quick inspection, positioning and quality
control process. Profile lasers scan the wood
during machining in order to ensure that
the quality specifications stipulated by the
sawmills are strictly adhered to. Boards with
too many or excessively large knotholes are
not released for sale.
Impressive in harsh environments:
standard cylinder DSBC
The standard cylinders DSBC, installed at
numerous locations on the edger, prove their
worth in the extremely dusty environment,
above all for controlling the movable arms.
They forward the boards for processing,
stop them or eject the rejects from the belt.
Less work, more productivity with PPS
cushioning
The Swedish company decided quickly in
favour of the DSBC. The reason: its self-
adjusting pneumatic PPS cushioning,
Fast, and no readjustment: the unique, self-adjusting PPS cushioning for standard cylinders DSBC always moves the board stopper arms into the right position.
Always correctly adjusted: DSBC-PPS
The sawing machines from Söderhamn Eriksson Catech AB in Sweden process up to 75 boards
per minute. They scan the boards at high speed to check that they are optimally positioned,
thereby keeping waste to a minimum. At the same time, they inspect board quality. A central
element of the machine is the standard cylinder DSBC with PPS cushioning.
