| Abstract |
This article describes a novel approach for the design of wood dust collection devices applied to two machines, a radial saw with manual feed and a numerically-controlled router. The original exhaust device of each machine was assessed, and the functions, machining configurations and constraints that the new devices had to satisfy were evaluated. Exhaust solutions of reasonable cost when compared to the cost of the machines were developed and tested, for both a simple and a complex machine. Several exhaust device prototypes for radial saws were built with a view of testing them on other existing models of machines. The pivoting device developed for the router will however require case-by-case assessments on its suitability for existing machines. This approach could be applied by manufacturers of new machines. |
