A crosscut saw machine must be tuned to eliminate abnormal sawing marks or skewing during rapid wood processing. Once a wooden board is placed in the feed port, it is clamped and stabilized by a roller. However, the vibration amplification of the structure still causes the relative position of the blade to change and leads to the problem of saw marks on the wood surface. This article optimizes a saw machine by modal analysis based on the finite element method. The redesigned machine was compared to the original for natural frequency and mode shape. The analysis results revealed that at 31.43 Hz, stress reached the maximum value of 383.24 MPa on the frame of an alternating current motor. The mode shape showed significant deformation of the roller frame. By applying ribs on the chassis frame, vertical bending and torsion were reduced. The frequency of the sixth mode of the original machine was 43.9 Hz, which increased to 52.9 Hz after the redesign. The results showed that this was due to the addition of the ribs. A clamping roller was able to mitigate the vibration through the +y and z directions. The natural frequency of the modality was significantly improved through rib-enforced design. The structure of the improved design exhibited improvement compared to the original machine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
