Tiivistelmä
The objective of this bachelor’s thesis was to design a log barking machine based on a circular saw used by a tractor. The thesis was done for a sole trader called HKJ Energia in order to improve the profitability of small logs. The machine would utilize the power take-off from a tractor and automatically rotate and do the barking for the entire log. The result should look like it was done by hand.
The design was done by SolidWorks 3D modelling software. Most of the measurements were taken from the existing circular saw at the company, which would be modified into the barking machine. The goal was to make the design mainly from existing parts so that the design would be as cost effective as possible.
The result of this thesis was a design for a log barking machine. The needed aspects in building the machine were considered and the next step would be to build the prototype based on the design.
