Abstract

The band saw used on a woodcutting band saw machine must be securely connected to the endless band, and the connection method must provide both the required strength and the lowest noise level during operation. The research methodology covers the stage of detecting, using a professional noise level meter,  the sections of the cutting mechanism with the highest level of noise and the stage of measuring the noise level on a band saw machine at an idle mode with tension supports, for saws: 1 – connected by arc welding, and the joint weld is located at an angle of 90° to the rear edge; 2 – connected by laser welding, and the seam is located at an angle of 90° to the rear edge; 3 – connected by laser welding, and the seam is located at an angle of 60° to the rear edge. The experiments were carried out on a modern horizontal band saw machine MEBOR HTZ 1200 with a wide band. The machine is designed for lengthwise cutting of logs in order to obtain high quality lumber. Measurements of the noise level during the operation of band saws showed that noise is generated in certain sections of the cutting mechanism – the section of the saw run  on the pulley, the section  of contact of the saw with the first guide and the section of the saw exit from the second guide. It has been established that during the operation of horizontal bandsaw machines, in which saws are used and whose ends are connected by traditional arc welding and the weld is located at an angle of 90° to the rear edge of the saw, the noise level exceeds the sanitary norms by a maximum of 35 dB. It is found that welding of band saws by modern laser method, when the seam is located at an angle of 60° to the rear edge of the saw, allows obtaining  a noise level 10–15 dB less than with laser welding of the saw when the seam is at an angle of 90° to the indicated edge.  An analysis of the noise spectra showed that the linear spectrum of sound pressure has a uniform distribution of the sound energy radiation intensity in a wide frequency range of 125–8000 Hz. It was found that, starting from the third octave (125 Hz), for a laser-welded saw with the seam located at an angle of 60° to the rear edge of the saw, the noise level exceeds the sanitary norms (80 dB) by 19 dB. The experimental studies have shown a significant reduction in noise when using band saws welded by a laser method and with the seam located at an angle of 60° to the rear edge of the saw. It was found that in some frequency bands the noise level exceeds sanitary norms and in this regard the design of a band saw machine with a new damping device is proposed, which, according to data from the technical literature, will provides further noise reduction; and in order to clarify the amount of noise reduction, it is necessary to conduct further experimental studies.
