Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the near-surface, high-contrast emergence of the early wood portion compared to the late wood portion in the grain pattern of a low-contrast in the original state, preferably an approximately uniformly light-colored wooden part according to the preamble of claim 1, as is known, for example, from the so-called flaming of wood in wood technology .
- the wood is first charred close to the surface and then the charred layer is brushed off again, with the softer early wood portion being removed more by brushing and appearing bright again, whereas the harder late wood portion is less strong is removed and thus not only stands out plastically, but also in terms of color contrast with the early wood.
- This type of wood treatment is useful for a rustic appearance of wooden objects, where very strong color contrasts and a very strong surface modeling of the grain pattern are important. This tanning technique is not possible for objects for which a smooth surface is desired.
- Touching tanning processes for emphasizing a high-contrast grain on pale wooden objects are also known, but mostly hot stamping is used here.
- a new and stereotypical grain pattern is hot-embossed into a uniformly light and superficially structured wood, whereby due to a targeted non-uniformity of the temperature distribution and / or the surface pressure during the embossing process, not only a surface structuring but also a different heat input and, accordingly, a more or less strong browning is achieved.
- the disadvantage here is that only a stereotypical grain pattern corresponding to the embossing stamp can be produced, but that the natural grain of the wood itself cannot be emphasized.
- Another touching tanning process works with heated rollers, between which the veneer sheet is let through, whereby the softer early wood parts are browned more than the harder late wood parts.
- a disadvantage of this method is that the grain pattern appears locally unevenly strong, which may be attributed not only to locally different thicknesses of the veneer sheet, but also to local differences in moisture within the veneer sheet.
- original light and initially invisible traces of sanding of the wood appear clearly in the browned grain. It can be used to treat veneer sheets that are very uniformly thick and have a very fine finish on the surface. Despite all this, only a very low color contrast can be achieved.
- a veneer sheet 1 can be moved past in the conveying direction 2 relative to a stationary laser optics 12.
- a monochromatic high-energy laser basic beam 10 of a carbon dioxide laser resonator is fed to the laser optics 12, which has a relatively long wavelength of 10.6 ⁇ m in the infrared light range and thus represents infrared light.
- the basic laser beam 10 extends as far as the laser optics 12 in a tube 11 surrounding it.
- the laser optics produce a focused laser beam 7 with a focus 8, the focused laser beam 7 extending beyond the focus 8 as which fans out into a divergent beam 9.
- the laser optics 13 are arranged at such a large distance from the surface of the veneer sheet 1 that the focused laser beam only strikes the veneer sheet 1 with its relatively large focal spot 5 with its diverging beam portion 9.
- this focal spot 5 can be moved back and forth over the veneer sheet with a high-frequency pendulum movement 6 oriented transversely to the conveying direction 2, so that the thermal energy can be fed practically to the entire veneer sheet width at the height of the laser optics 12.
- the laser optics 12 do not need to be pivoted themselves, but the laser basic beam 10 is already supplied to the laser optics 12 in a corresponding pendulum movement by means of a rapidly oscillating deflecting mirror, so that the focused beam emerging from the laser optics in the desired manner even when the lens is stationary commutes. Thanks to the large distance between the focal spot 5 and the laser optics 12, it is also possible to achieve relatively large oscillation distances, ie working distances. In order to avoid a distance-related and oblique angle-related drop in energy towards the edge despite the oscillation of the beam 9, it is conceivable to clamp the veneer sheet in a concentric manner to the pendulum movement in a channel-shaped cylindrical manner.
- Another possibility of ensuring an equally high beam intensity in the edge region despite the beam oscillation is to reduce the pendulum speed towards the edge or to increase the beam power depending on the pendulum-related beam deflection towards the edge.
- the process parameters are correctly coordinated, which will be discussed in more detail below, the intrinsic grain of the veneer sheet can be emphasized in high contrast with a single pass, as is indicated in the figure.
- the part 3 of the veneer sheet that has already run past the laser optics 12 is clearly drawn in its grain, whereas the untreated part 4 of the veneer sheet that has not yet passed is still pale and uniformly bright.
- the browning is achieved in the softer early wood parts, whereas the harder late wood parts are not browned at all or at most only very little.
- a veneer sheet made of ash wood with the external dimensions of 115 x 66 cm was treated.
- a defocused, diverging laser beam from a carbon dioxide laser with a focal spot diameter of 11 cm was directed onto the surface.
- the wavelength of the monochronmatic beam was 10.6 ⁇ m.
- the laser beam had an output of 1700 watts; it was not mode-free, but had an uneven distribution of energy with three concentric circular maxima of its energy density across the beam cross-section.
- the laser beam was not oscillated transversely to the feed direction, but was moved parallel to itself in the feed direction, whereas the veneer sheet was held stationary.
- the infrared light range includes rays with wavelengths from 0.78 to 1000 ⁇ m.
- a normal infrared emitter with a narrow band spectrum of the wavelength of 1 to 2.5 ⁇ m and the laser beam of a neodymium YAG laser with monochromatic infrared light and a wavelength of 1.06 ⁇ m were also tried out for tanning. It has been found that the longer wavelength the infrared light is, the better the contrasts are. The best contrasts were achieved with the carbon dioxide laser, which is relatively expensive to buy and in operating costs due to the poor efficiency. It therefore makes sense to run a mixed operation by preheating the wood with a conventional infrared heater that is inexpensive to buy and maintain, and performing the actual contrasting with less laser energy expenditure using a less powerful carbon dioxide laser.
- beam integrators which allow the beam cross section to be changed to a rectangular or square shape; with such beam integrators it may be possible the energy density of the beam can also be changed in a suitable manner, for example to constant energy density in the entire beam cross section or to an increased energy density in the edge region.
