Double cut control for disc saw felling head
10098290 · 2018-10-16 · ·

A double cut control system and method are disclosed for a felling head having a saw disc. The felling head may be positioned by a knuckle boom, which includes a hoist boom and a stick boom coupled by a knuckle and positioned by hydraulic cylinders actuated by a hydraulic pump and hydraulic control valves. The control system has an operator input device for input of operator commands including a double cut control input command. Position sensors provide position values for the knuckle boom and the felling head. At least one controller receives the operator commands and position values. After receiving the double cut control input command, the controller generates a first cut control signal to direct flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic cylinders to position the knuckle boom to advance the felling head in a single fore-aft direction a set distance corresponding to a partial depth cut.

CHAIN SAW AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MOVEMENTS OF GUIDE BAR THEREIN

The present disclosure relates to a chain saw of a wood handling device and to controlling the guide bar in it. The guide bar is attached to a turning frame rotatably arranged to a frame of the chain saw through a fastening arrangement. The fastening arrangement of the guide bar and the turning frame are joined by at least one guide for controlling the guide bar during movement along its longitudinal axis. The guide includes opposite slide guides with opposite sliding and mating surfaces that form a form-locking joint joining the fastening arrangement and turning frame together. This type of separate slide guide arranged in the chain saw is movable in at least one direction differing from the direction of travel allowed by the guide, which makes it possible to modify clearance between the sliding surface and mating surface.

AERIAL TREE HARVESTER
20180215466 · 2018-08-02 ·

A machine operates in conjunction with an aircraft, such as a helicopter, for harvesting or removing trees. The device can be powered by the aircraft, by electrical or hydraulic connection with the aircraft, or it may have an independent, self-contained power source. The device includes jaws for grasping a tree, and a saw for cutting the tree. The weight of the device is borne by a strong and flexible cord suspended from the aircraft. Various motors enable the position of the device to be remotely controlled, so as to grasp and remove tree trunks. The invention is especially useful for removing trees from areas which are difficult to reach by land.
