EQ3-24 Equalization Planer about to hit the door.

The Newman EQ3 Equalizing Double Planer takes rough surfacing to the next level with increased yield, higher quality finish and fewer defects.

The EQ3 Equalizing Double Planer includes an upstream Equalizing Module and a down- stream EPR Planer that work together to equalize the stock removal from the upper and lower surfaces of a board. The inventive aspect is the Equalizing Module that includes a single cutterhead with a combination pivoting arm and press roll that control an amount of material removed by the first bottom cutterhead.

In use, thin boards that fit through the gap between the Automatic Cut ControlTM and the press roll move through the upstream section and are diverted by the Automatic Cut Control™ away from the cutterhead without any material being removed from the bottom surface of the board. Boards that are too thick to fit through the gap, contact against the press roll causing the Automatic Cut ControlTM to pivot downward. The amount of pivoting of the Automatic Cut ControlTM depends upon the thickness of the board and determines the amount of material removed from the bottom surface of the board. For boards above a predetermined thickness, the Automatic Cut Control™ pivots downward to a predetermined position causing a maximum amount of material to be removed from the bottom surface. An oversized board will force the press roll upward away from the Automatic Cut Control™ and cutterhead to allow the board to move through the upstream section.

This brief video shows Newman Technicians grinding and jointing a Newman Helical Carbide Cutterhead at the Newman facility in Browns Summit, North Carolina.

The Newman Helical Carbide Cutterhead provides significant improvements over conventional cutterheads in terms of noise, cost, and performance. The Challenger Award winning cutterhead has become the industry standard. Replaceable carbide tipped cutters fit precisely into the helical slot to form a continuous helical cutting edge providing the most technologically advanced cutting action available. Newman Helical Carbide Cutterheads are being used extensively in the woodworking and plastics industries throughout the world with applications including finish planers, roughing planers and high- speed planer-matchers.

NOISE REDUCTION:

Due to their helical geometry, Newman Helical Carbide Cutterheads are continuously engaged with the work piece, unlike conventional straight knife cutterheads, which dramatically reduce work piece vibration and thus the noise normally associated with planing. The helical design also reduces aerodynamic noise (idling noise) by eliminating air compression. Noise reductions are typically 15-20 dBA as compared to conventional straight knife planing, meeting OSHA requirements in most cases.

LOWER OPERATING COSTS:

The Newman Helical Carbide Cutterhead is also more economical to operate. When considering initial cost, knife replacement cost, maintenance cost, and downtime cost, the helical carbide cutterhead has been proven to be considerably more economical to operate than conventional high-speed steel cutterheads.

HIGHER PERFORMANCE:

The use of carbide as opposed to high speed steel, when combined with helical cutting action, provides unsurpassed performance: long edge life (many times that of high-speed steel), ability to surface difficult materials (cross grain cutting, particleboards, etc.), easy replacement of inserts, and in-machine grinding and jointing. Consequently, the long intervals between cutterhead maintenance result in substantially less downtime and therefore less total maintenance time.

The New Newman LST-1044 Tilting Head Shaving Machine is designed to produce premium quality shavings for horse and poultry bedding. It is equipped with two 10-1/4" c.c. High Speed Steel Cutterheads that are each coupled to dedicated 75 HP Premium Efficiency Motors. The cutterhead assembly is tilted at each pass of the Log Box in a manner that facilitates 1/2" of stock removal per pass in each direction which increases production to between 100-120 Cubic Yards per Hour.

The tables also shift with each cycle of the Log Box, which allows the Logs to be shaved by both cutterheads in each direction. The cutterheads are locked in place with a new user-friendly hydraulic locking system.

The Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Feed System utilizes two hydraulic cylinders which reciprocate the Log Box over the Shaving Heads for Higher Levels of productivity and efficiency.

In this brief video a Newman KM-16 Hybrid is seen cutting plastic to length. This machine had some elements of the KM-16hd Heavy Duty Multiple Trimmer and the KM-16 Mutiple Trimmer.

While the Saw Heads are similar in design to the KM-16a, the frame, feed chain and larger sawblades are similar to the Heavy-Duty Version.
