Embodiments of an electric linear actuator may include a roller screw assembly, an electric motor coupled to the roller screw assembly, and a linear transducer operatively coupled with the roller screw assembly. The motor may be configured to drive the roller screw assembly to extend and retract another component, such as a rod. In some embodiments, the linear transducer may be configured to detect a position of the rod. The roller screw assembly may be coupled directly to the motor via a gear coupling, with the motor disposed generally in axial alignment with the roller screw assembly. Other embodiments disclosed herein include a veneer lathe carriage with electric linear actuators and corresponding apparatuses, methods, and systems.

An edge band cutting device includes a base reciprocated along a direction parallel to a conveying path between a front cutting position and a rear cutting position, a baffle component disposed to the base and having a baffle configured to be reciprocated along a direction parallel to the conveying path between an initial position and a compression position, and reciprocated along a direction perpendicular to the conveying path between a lifting position and a lowering position, and a cutting component disposed to the base and having a saw blade configured to be reciprocated up and down along a cutting path perpendicular to the conveying path. By operation of the baffle component and the cutting component, only one saw blade is used to cut a front protrusion and a rear protrusion of an edge band, such that the structural design is greatly simplified.
