For a look at what ’ s new in sawmilling , stop by HewSaw ’ s stand at Ligna 2017 . There will be lots to see and talk about from the Finnish manufacturer , including the company ’ s revolutionary dx-sawing .
Below : An internal look at a HewSaw with dx sawing shows the first set of arbors equipped with smaller diameter saws for the initial cut , followed by a second set of arbours with larger diameter saws for the second cut .
As a leader in developing new technology for the primary breakdown sector of the sawmill industry , the HewSaw stand at Ligna in Hannover , Germany is normally a busy place . This year ’ s Ligna event from May 22 to 26 is not expected to be any different and HewSaw is ready for the occasion .
The HewSaw stand at Ligna 2017 will be over 150 square metres ( 1,600 square feet ) and will include a HewSaw cant saw unit complete with the new patent pending HewSaw dx sawing technology , which offers faster feed speeds and a thinner saw kerf . Developed by HewSaw ’ s engineering department at the company ’ s factory in Mäntyharju , Finland , the basic principle behind dx-sawing is to replace the standard double
Above : With HewSaw dx sawing , the saws are cutting through the cant in two stages , resulting in a reduced depth of cut . arbour sawing technique currently used by HewSaw with a four arbour system . The first set of arbours will house the saws for an initial or pilot cut in the cant , while the second set of arbours will house a second set of saws that will finish the cut , just as in existing HewSaw sawing technology . This allows for a smaller depth of cut , resulting in thinner kerf saws and faster feed speeds .
“ When we equip our HewSaw sawing machines and sawlines with this patent pending technology , we can provide our customers with the ability to run larger diameter logs at faster speeds for longer periods of time , and we can reduce our saw kerf , increasing recovery and yield form each log ,” explains Raimo Karjalainen , HewSaw ’ s chief engineer .
In addition to the new dx sawing technology , HewSaw staff at the stand will be on hand to talk about the company ’ s primary breakdown options , including
