AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional core sample sawing processes require manual handling, which is labor-intensive, dangerous, and prone to logging errors due to human involvement.
Method used
A core sample saw with a support framework, a saw assembly driven by a motor with interspaced circular saw blades, a feeding arrangement that includes an engagement mechanism and an urging assembly, and a controller that dynamically correlates the feeding rate with the sawing rate for automated and simultaneous sawing of multiple core samples within a core tray.
Benefits of technology
The solution reduces human involvement, making the process safer and less prone to errors, while enabling automated and simultaneous sawing of multiple core samples, thereby improving efficiency and accuracy.

Abstract
Provided is a core sample saw 10 comprising a support framework 20 with a saw assembly 12 supported thereon and comprising a motor 14 operatively driving a shaft 16 having a plurality of interspaced circular saw blades 18 arranged along the shaft 16. Core sample saw 10 also includes a feeding arrangement 22 supported by the support frame 20 and configured to feed a core tray 24 with core samples 8 through the saw assembly 12. The feeding arrangement 22 comprises an engagement mechanism 23 configured releasably to engage with the core tray 24 controllably to guide said tray 24 through the saw assembly 12, as well as an urging assembly 28 arranged proximate the saw assembly 12 and configured to urge the core samples 8 securably into the core tray 24 as the core tray 24 passes through said saw assembly 12. Core sample saw 10 further includes a controller 32 arranged in signal communication with the saw assembly 12 and feeding arrangement 22 and configured dynamically to correlate a feeding rate of said feeding arrangement 22 with a sawing rate of the saw assembly 12. In this manner, the core sample saw 10 is able to facilitate automated and simultaneous sawing of a plurality of core samples 8 in-situ within the core tray 24 as said tray is fed through the saw assembly 12.
