An arrangement in automatic saw chain grinders of the kind which includes a mechanism (30, 47) for feeding the cutter links (36) of a saw chain (22) to be ground to a predetermined grinding location on a chain support (14), and also a movable grinding machine (18, 19) for grinding the cutting edge (

An arrangement in automatic saw chain grinders of the kind which includes a mechanism (30, 47) for feeding the cutter links (36) of a saw chain (22) to be ground to a predetermined grinding location on a chain support (14), and also a movable grinding machine (18, 19) for grinding the cutting edge (53) of a cutter link (36) present in the grinding location. The grinding location is defined by a chain feed and/or stop finger (46) against which the rear edge (40) of the cutter link (36) abuts in the grinding location. The feed mechanism (30, 47) includes a rotating or indexing saw-chain drive which is driven by an electric motor (32). For the purpose of eliminating the risk of cutting edges being ground wrongly or of the grinding process being interrupted because of irregularities in the link sequence of the saw chain (22), the finger (46) has mounted thereon a detecting device (44) for distinguishing between cutter links of right-hand and left-hand configurations and for checking that a cutter link in the grinding location is not displaced therefrom during the course of a grinding operation.

An arrangement in an automatic saw chain grinder of the kind which includes a chain support (14), control means (47) and feed means (30) for indexing forward a row of right and left hand saw-chain cutter links (36) automatically and in a guided manner to a pre-determined grinding location on the chain support (14), and which further includes a grinding machine (18, 19) which is movably mounted in relation to the chain support and which is a first setting is arranged to grind right hand cutter links and in a second setting left hand cutter links and which is operative in grinding the cutting edge (53) of a cutter link (36) positioned in said grinding location while being guided automatically via the control means, and in which grinder said grinding location is defined by a chain feed and/or stop finger which moves between an active and an inactive position while detecting the contours of the chain links and against which the trailing edge (40) of a cutter link in the grinding location can be brought to bear when the finger is in its active position, this abutment being effected through said feed means (30), which includes an electric motor (32) and a rotating or indexing chain drive mechanism driven by said motor, characterized in that the arrangement comprises at least one chain feed and/or stop finger having mounted thereon at least one detecting means (44) which in dependance of the setting of the grinding machine is intended to detect when a right or left hand cutter link to be ground passes or has passed the finger (46) and therewith to cause the control means and feed means (30, 47) to bring the cutter link to the grinding location.
