trimming Explanation: During the process of producing wood veneer, the wood is cut into fine thin sheets using various methods [see the Wikipedia entry for veneer below as URL 2.] These fine sheets are 'trimmed' parallel to the grain (fibres) to create strips to be used as veneer later. "Nella produzione del compensato, il nastro viene quindi "taglierinato", ovvero sezionato parallelamente alla fibratura, per ottenere fogli di dimensioni conformi a quelle dei pannelli finiti (le quali includono tuttavia le sovramisure necessarie per permettere lo sviluppo dei ritiri da essiccazione e agevolare l'operazione di composizione." [source URL 2 see the Section Sfogliatura] I'd use the gerhnd 'trimming' for the translation. Trimming doesn't trnsalte well into Italian - it's usually just translated as 'cutting.' to trim v.tr 1ordinare; ripulire; assettare 2 tagliare; spuntare; potare; cimare to trim someone's hairspuntare i capelli "There are three main types of veneer-making equipment used commercially: A rotary lathe in which the wood is turned against a very sharp blade and peeled off in one continuous or semi-continuous roll. Rotary-cut veneer is mainly used for plywood, as the appearance is not desirable because the veneer is cut concentric to the growth rings. A slicing machine in which the flitch or piece of log is raised and lowered against the blade and slices of the log are made. This yields veneer which looks like sawn pieces of wood, cut across the growth rings. A half-round lathe in which the log or piece of log can be turned and moved in such a way to expose the most interesting parts of the grain."

clipped Explanation: taglierinatura: riduzione del foglio in pezzi di grandezza appropriata. Plywood production Before peeling, the majority of timbers need to be conditioned so as to soften the wood in order to facilitate peeling and to produce an acceptable quality of veneer. Conditioning involves the exposure of the peeler blocks to both heat and moisture by way of soaking in hot water vats or exposed to live steam or hot water sprays. Debarking of the logs then takes place so as to facilitate the lathe operator's task and to remove the dirt and debris which would otherwise prove detrimental to the lathe knife, whereupon the logs are cut to length to fit the lathe, which is normally 240-270 cm. Peeling, reeling and clipping Nowadays, in almost all cases, plywood veneer is rotary cut, in that the peeler block is rotated around its axis in a lathe, whilst a continous veneer sheet is cut by a knife mounted parallel to the block's axis. The veneer sheet is then wound on spools, or led to a multi-tray system, so as to provide storage and surge capacity in the event of fluctuations in the veneer feed from the lathe; speeds of both storage systems are generally synchronized to that of the lathe. The green veneer is then clipped to size, either manually or by high-speed knives, graded and stored in piles ready for drying. Any defects, such as knots and splits, are then cut out of the sheet. |
