(57) A machine (1) for cutting veneers from logs for producing wood strips, with high
structural simplicity comprising a supporting structure (2) and a pair of mutually
opposite spindles (6a, 6b), which are coaxial one another and are supported, so that
they can rotate about the common axis (7), by the supporting structure (2), the machine
further comprising first means (8a, 8b) for the actuation of the pair of spindles
(6a, 6b) with a rotary motion about the common axis (7), the spindles being further
movable on command toward or away from each other in order to engage or disengage
the opposite axial ends of a log to be sliced, the first actuation means comprising
an electric motor (8a, 8b) for each spindle (6a, 6b), which is connected directly
by means of its driving shaft (9a, 9b) to the corresponding spindle (6a, 6b), and
electronic means being provided for controlling the electric motors for the actuation
of the spindles, for their synchronized actuation.
