New driver unit design and application for circular saw machine

Abstract

Circular saw machines are used in wood working industry on a large scale in many countries. The highest usage may cause defaults on working samples such as wrong size and broken edges. In this paper, the design process of a Programmable Logic Controler (PLC) and computer aided mechanical driver unit for circular saw machine was described. Mechatronic design methodology was used in this work. The preliminary design, valuation of design requirements and the design results are finally presented. Not only the validation of the measurements on circular saw machine under human control was calculated, but also a prototype of a driver unit was also designed and calculated.
