Troubleshooting Overlapping on
|
||
The edge of one piece of veneer is on top of the other. The veneer is not being held flat. |
The pressure bar may be too high.
|
Check the float gauge.
Lower the pressure bar. |
The front suspension bolt is too tight. This lifts the infeed end of the upper heater bar. |
Loosen the suspension bolt. | |
Upper heater bar is too high. | Reset the upper heater bar. | |
The front end of the heater strip is not against the lower heater bar. |
Place a slight bend in the heater strip 4″ from the infeed end. |
|
The heater strip will not “float” up and down at the infeed end. |
Check the lower heater bar for level. The feed chains are pulling on the heater strip. |
|
The pressure setting is too light.Check for pressure marks, the shine, on the veneer. |
Increase the pressure setting. | |
The veneer overlaps before entering the feed chains. |
The holddown springs on the matching roll are not holding the veneer flat. |
Lower the holddown assembly. |
Replace the holddown split springs. | ||
The matching rolls pull the veneer into the machine at angles. |
Readjust the cant on the matching rolls. | |
Reduce the pressure on the matching rolls. | ||
The edge of the veneer curls up against the infeed guide. |
Readjust the cant on the matching rolls. | |
If the veneer is curled at the edge set the holddown block as close to the matching roll and as low as is possible. |
||
The jointed edges of the veneer are not square. |
Check the jointer blade for sharpness. Only use the veneer edge from the flat side of the Guillotine. |
|
The veneer overlaps on one or both ends only. | The edges of the veneer are not straight or parallel. | Check the jointer. |
