BS EN 14081-3:2012EN 14081-3:2012 (E) 4 Introduction Machine grading is in common use in a number of countries. The countries use two basic systems, referred to as output controlled and machin
23、e controlled. Both systems require a visual override inspection to cater for strength-reducing characteristics that are not automatically sensed by the machine. The output-controlled system is suitable for use where the grading machines are situated in sawmills grading limited sizes, species and gra
24、des in repeated production runs of around one working shift or more. This enables the system to be controlled by testing timber specimens from the daily output. These tests together with statistical procedures are used to monitor and adjust the machine settings to maintain the required strength prop
25、erties for each strength class. With this system it is permissible for machine approval requirements to be less demanding and for machines of the same type to have non-identical performance. The machine controlled system was developed in Europe. Because of the large number of sizes, species and grad
26、es used it was not possible to carry out quality-control tests on timber specimens drawn from production. The system relies therefore on the machines being strictly assessed and controlled, and on considerable research effort to derive the machines settings, which remain constant for all machines of
27、 the same type. The acceptability of grading machines and the derivation of settings rely on statistical procedures and the results will therefore depend on the method used. For this reason, this European Standard gives appropriate statistical procedures. The requirements in this European Standard a
28、re based on machines in current use and on future types of machines as far as these can be foreseen. It is recognised that additional clauses or standards may be required if unforeseen developments take place. BS EN 14081-3:2012EN 14081-3:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requireme
29、nts additional to those given in EN 14081-1 for factory production control of machine graded structural timber with rectangular cross-sections shaped by sawing, planing or other methods, and having deviations from the target sizes corresponding to EN 336. 2 Normative references The following referen

39、rading machine shall only be fitted with spare parts equivalent to, or improving upon, the performance of those fitted at the time the machine was assessed by initial type testing. If spare parts are fitted that are not identical to those fitted at the time the machine was assessed by initial type t

A st

46、 a machine controlled system, grading accuracy shall be monitored by controlling the grading machine whilst it is running at production speed. The installation and calibration shall be checked by the use of control planks, using the procedures given in this Annex. The grading process shall be consid

If the indicating property or the values measured by the machine to determine the indicating property deviate more than 7 % from the original data, the control plank shall be defined as out of control. Where the mac
48、hine measures in fixed increments then the limit shall be taken as the next increment boundary above 7 %. For each control plank, all data shall be recorded on the datasheet including: a) the date; b) density or weight and dimensions of the control plank; c) grading model (reference to the report nu
