The compact sawing
machine for
processing tree trunks (1) comprises a
tree trunk support (200) for feeding tree trunks (1) and a
tree trunk saw (600) which has at least one
circular saw blade (512). The
tree trunk saw (600) can be moved along the tree trunks (1) to be processed, and the tree trunks (1) are moved substantially only in a conveying direction (F) transversely to the longitudinal direction of the tree trunks (1). In order to allow the compact sawing
machine to be placed in a container (100) which can be transported by a
truck, the at least one
circular saw blade (512) is positioned vertically, and clamp feeds (650) are provided for clamping the tree
trunk (1), said clamp feeds being displaceable in the conveying direction (F) and vertically clamping the tree
trunk (1). Furthermore, the compact sawing
machine can have a resaw (700) above or below the tree
trunk saw (600). In this case, lifting
grippers (520,530) are advantageous, said lifting
grippers gripping the wood block (12) produced by the tree trunk saw (600) and transporting it to the resaw (700), and preferably it is also possible to rotate the wood block (12) by 90° by means of the lifting
grippers (520,530). Furthermore, a measuring device can be provided for measuring the tree trunk (1), which is rotated by a tree trunk rotator (620). A turning device is also advantageous.
