【 摘 要 】

The objective of this research was to develop sesbania slicing machine. There were 3 machinery parts that have been developed; guide rail unit, sesbania feeding lever unit, and pick-up hook set lever unit. The guide rail was shaped into a rectangular unit with 15.4 cm width, 25 cm length, 10 cm height, and 0.5 cm thickness. The sesbania feeding lever unit was a rectangular shape of 50.5 mm width, 240 mm length. The machine was controlled by a 9 mm diameter lever, 330 mm length, and pulled by a guide rail with 24 mm width, 425 mm length. The pick-up hook lever unit set is a stainless steel U-shaped bar with 130 mm width, and 159 mm length which was controlled by a 9 mm diameter lever with 319 mm length. The results showed that the suitable revolution was 60 rpm which can slide sesbania wood at 10 seconds/part. The efficiency of the sesbaina slicing machine was 89 percent at 60 rpm. After the experiment of slicing sesbania parts, the obtained thickness of sesbania sheets were 0.6, 0.8, and 1 mm respectively. The results complied with the required criteria.
