Machine for sharpening chain saw chains: Types and Characteristics

If you are a wood processing in large quantities or have a specialized shop selling benzopilnoy machines, then you definitely have gone "to the address." After sharpening the professional tool a file can... And some even try to do it. Often, however, it does not give the desired result. Professional machines not only natochat chain saws, but will correct her teeth perfectly straight, that to the best effect on the quality of cutting. So, in today's review HouseChief.ru editors explain how to choose the right machine for sharpening chain saws, which does all the dirty work quickly and efficiently, as well as save you time and money. In addition, we describe the differences between the automatic machines from handIn some cases it is better to use one or the other type, as well as look at the most popular models.

The apparatus and specifications of machines for sharpening chain saw chains

In fact, sharpener chain saws - is much improved Bulgarian. At its core is the same grinding wheel is 3.5 mm thick, which is fixed on the suspension structure and the support in its vise mounted, actually, the circuit itself.

The operator carries out the necessary adjustments of the machine for sharpening chain saw chains - fix the desired angle, and adjusts the depth stop, and speed (RPM). Special retainer monitors the position of the chain, without letting it slip during sharpener.

In order to prevent the possible chain breaks at the weak areas on machine can be carried out by grinding the sample. To do this, select the smallest tooth tochitsya and the remaining fitted on the model already on the entire length of the rest of the web.

Important! If you notice that one of the teeth is worn more than others, it is not recommended to align all edges easier to replace a corrupted link, because too much ground off the chain saw will lose its quality.

Such a measure will help distribute the load evenly across the circuit during operation chainsaw and will protect it from tearing.

Main technical characteristics of sawing machines: disk speed (measured in rpm), the diameter of the circle on which the grinding disc is mounted, and power wt. Some models are equipped with a special LED backlightThat simplifies operation even in dim lighting.

Types and principle of operation of the tool for sharpening the saw chain

There are two main types of machines designed for sharpening chain saws: automatic and manual. The latter, in turn, are subdivided into stationary (installed on a hard surface) and mobile, are mounted on the bus chainsaw.

The principle of operation of the machine is in the sequential processing of each worker saw tooth. For this purpose, the circuit is fixed on an ad hoc basis in a vise. Here, the base platform is a scale with which to select the angle sharpener and the required depth. The main working tool grinding machine is a movable head disk. To get started it is necessary to lower the handle on the working surface, where the secured circuit. the algorithm is as follows:

1. The operator fixes the chain in the vise.
2. Checks the integrity of the disk. To do this, it gently hit something dense to get a distinctive sound (the same way the dishes check for cracks).
3. Fix the drive on the wheel for sharpening chain saws, protective glass cover (during sharpening it will protect the operator from sparks).
4. Exposed via sharpening angle scale.
5. Start the unit.
6. Grinding wheel is lowered for grinding.

Features of automatic sharpening machines for chain saw chains

Automatic machines working on clearly defined parameters. They are used in large enterprises where it is necessary to grind just a large mass of the same drink without changing the settings.

Master exposes parameters sharpening angle, the rest of the process is automatic: machine independently moves circuit and performs passage Emery to the desired depth. Among the additional elements - a special shaft with a spindle that moves the chain to the desired mark, focusing on the tooth spacing. These units are characterized by high noise emission and considerable power. Among the positive aspects - full automation of the process, including the minuses but called us increased noise - rapid wear of consumables.

How to operate manual sharpening machines for chain saw chains

As we mentioned above, hand grinding machines may be both stationary and mobile.

manual type of automatic machines differ in the ability to fine-tune and better sharpening, since the whole process goes with the direct participation of man. Advantages of hand models:

Disadvantages:

Important! The layman is difficult to determine on their own the right angle sharpening chain. Therefore, it is necessary to trust the sharpening tool for professionals.

Features sharpening on mobile and stationary machines

Unlike other sharpening variations that require dismantling the chain for mobile sharpening machines do not necessary. Such a "pencil sharpener" chains for chain saws can always be close, it does not require local power, but work with it requires certain skills and dexterity.

In fact, you get a guide to a file (exaggerated words), which ensures the correct filing angle with a clamp. However, sharpening speed - one of the lowest among other similar devices. To work on the stationary machine circuit for longitudinal saw must be removed. In addition, as in the use of mobile devices for sharpening chains, and with stationary crucial role played by the experience of the master. He has to customize the unit and fully control the whole course of the work.

Advantages and disadvantages of manual and automatic models

We have already mentioned the advantages and disadvantages of each type of machine. All manual models have a major advantage - compactness. They allow you to efficiently and accurately enough to hold grinding circuit, with sufficient skill of the operator.

In this case, a good solution would be to purchase a universal automatic machine, which allows the use of emery wheel for sharpening saw chains standard and optional diamond saw blade for cutting edges of saws treatment of solid alloys. If we talk about the shortcomings of automatic models, they are obvious:

1. Machining of parts goes without considering the actual state of each link, or tooth.
2. Template processing reduces the service life saws (Reduces its working life of 15 to 25%).
3. Increases electricity consumption.
4. Automatic models require more frequent replacement of the saw blade.

How to choose the right device for sharpening chain saw chains

edition HouseChief.ru It recommends a balanced approach to the selection of highly grinding equipment. In some cases, it is more expedient to purchase mobile sharpener rather than a full-fledged grinding machine. It all depends on the amount of work and needs. Sometimes it is more appropriate to make a device for sharpening chain with their hands. How to do that, we will talk about later.

Important! Pay attention to the spindle speed, it is responsible for the speed and sanding clean. There are traces of a correlation - with the increase in speed is an acceleration of the process of sharpening.

Focus on the machine power. It depends on the amount of work. If you want to create a workshop with professional services for sharpening chain saws, the machine you need to choose according to the price of services and the projected benefits from its purchase.

If you purchase a machine for grinding and will use from time to time, it is better to opt for the machines in the 3000 revolutions. In addition, pay attention to the size of the diameter of the disc, many machines work with discs of 110 mm. If you need another size, we have to choose the combined model. It is in these more variativen this figure. Before you buy, read the following installation options for the grinding machine:

1. Power and their needs.
2. Complete set of equipment.
3. The presence of additional devices.
4. Spindle View.

"Shaft spindle rotation speed in various types of machine tools may vary. Moreover, this range is quite wide - 3000 to 7500 rev / min.. This rate directly affects the speed and performance of the machine work. Moreover, the higher the speed, the faster goes the wear of the saw blade. "

In many modern machines provided all sorts of attachments and accessories. This increases the safety of the equipment and makes it more accurate and faster. These additional features include: a function of wet grinding, Fireplace screens, system cooling, network tension adjustment assembly extra lighting, automatic means for chain clamp.
