Technical Description:
A beam planer removes a controlled layer of wood from timber beams to produce smooth surfaces and consistent finished dimensions. Ledinek manufactures beam planers for industrial processing of solid timber and glued laminated timber, commonly called glulam. Feed rollers move the beam through the machine while pressure elements and guides hold it in position. Rotating cutterheads machine the faces and edges, with the arrangement depending on the required operations. Some configurations also use profiling or chamfering tools to shape edges. In mass timber production, beam planing prepares large timber members for subsequent machining or finished use. The surface finish depends on timber condition, tool condition, feed speed and depth of cut. Working dimensions and available operations vary with the selected machine and tooling.
