In a sawmill, the log carriage is an essential piece of equipment that transports logs to the saw blades or other processing machinery. It plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate and efficient cutting of logs into lumber.
Types of Log Carriages:
1. Manual Log Carriage:
- Operated by hand, usually through a system of gears or levers. It requires the operator to manually advance the log and secure it in place.
2. Hydraulic Log Carriage:
- Uses hydraulic systems to move and position the log. This type is more automated and can be more precise and easier to operate than manual models.
3. Electric Log Carriage:
- Powered by electric motors, providing smooth and controlled movement. These are often found in modern sawmills with automated systems.
