Sedgwick CP Planer Thicknesser with 410mm x 230mm capacity.

Construction

The Sedgwick CP planer thicknesser is designed and built for precision, long life and minimum maintenance. Its rigid mainframe assembly gives exceptional stability, and accurately houses the feed and cutterblock bearings, and the surface and thickness tables.

The Cutterblock

The machine is supplied as standard with a four knife TERSA cutterblock, providing improved finish, quieter running, and minimum set-up times. Double sided knives are available in a range of compositions for different applications.

Surface Planing

The cast infeed table rises and falls in square gibs for long term accuracy and is fitted with a rule and vertical lock. A generously proportioned cast iron fence is then mounted off the outfeed table on a rack and pinion. The fence can be tilted between 90º – 45º making it suitable for bevel work and chamfering, and is easily returned to 90º via a positive stop. Adjustable shaw guards are also supplied.

Thicknessing

For long term accuracy, and to avoid time consuming mode changes, the surfacing tables remain in place when thicknessing, utilising instead a dual function chip collection hood.

The thicknessing table is cast iron and mounted on a large diameter precision ground pillar to ensure precise and parallel positioning, with an off-centre lock for added rigidity. Extension rollers at either end run in self-lubricating bushes. Large diameter steel feed rollers (one spiral-fluted the other rubber coated) are driven by an independent motor and gear unit, which on three phase machines has two speeds. The feed rollers run in self-lubricating bushes and are driven from the geared unit by a heavy duty chain for efficient and constant feeding of demanding production work and difficult stock.

Safety Features:

• Front & rear cutterblock guards
• Totally enclosed drive assembly
• Electro-magnetic braked motor
• Thermal overload NVR protection
• Lock off emergency stop button
• Lockable isolator

Features and Benefits:

• Rigid mainframe assemblies (castiron base, side frames, and fixed outfeed table) give exceptional stability, and accurately house the feed and cutterblock bearings, and the infeed and thicknessing tables.
• Cutterblock has ‘sealed for life’ bearings for minimum maintenance.
• Knife setting is aided by height adjustment screws.
• The fence can be tilted between 90º - 45º making it suitable for bevel work and chamfering,and is easily returned to 90º via a positive stop.
• Adjustable shaw guards for rebating are also supplied.
• For long term accuracy, and to avoid time consuming mode changes, the surfacing tables remain in place when thicknessing, utilising instead a dual function chip collection hood.
• The drive assembly is totally enclosed by the rear machine guard, removal of which provides easy access to the motor drive assembly for any necessary maintenance.
• The cutterblock is guarded at the rear by a fixed guard attached to the fence, and at the front by a bridge type guard.
