Abstract
An apparatus for sawing a workpiece on predetermined cutting lines while the workpiece is being continuously transported in a downstream direction includes first and second conveyors having a spaced array of workpiece elevating supports mounted on at least the second conveyor translating for the workpiece in the downstream direction, at least one saw mounted on corresponding saw transports adjacent the second conveyor, a workpiece scanner and a data processor and controller for processing the data received from the scanner; determining the position of the cut lines; for controlling the relative phase positions of the first and second conveyors such that the cut lines do not coincide with the position of the workpiece elevating supports; and for actuating downstream translation of the saw on the saw transport so as to align the saw with the cut lines as the workpiece and the saw are translated downstream in unison while the saw cuts the through workpiece at the cut lines without contacting the underlying conveyor.
