Segmented pressure bar in thickness planing machines

Pressure beams press down the workpiece using spring force directly in front of and after the planer shaft in the thickness planer. This leads to an improvement of the surface quality. In order to be able to process workpieces with different thicknesses at the same time, with one setting, the pressure beam has to be divided into several segments. Thus, the term segmented pressure bar. This ensures the uniform pressing down of each workpiece.
