With the quality of the knife edge becoming a more important
part of the hardwood veneer industry, hydraulic knife clamps have
proven to be a valuable addition to any veneer machine.
On
the average, knife change times have been reduced to about eight
minutes from around thirty. After getting the knife bed
machined, the alloy steel knife clamps are hung on high strength
pivot bolts. Behind each clamp is a heavy duty high pressure
hydraulic cylinder. They are supplied with oil from your
existing hydraulic unit, or if you choose, from a stand alone
hydraulic unit just for the clamping system.
