A peeling machine through which a rod workpiece is moved along a main axis has an upstream guide and a downstream guide centering the workpiece on the axis and axially flanking a rotary scraper engaging the workpiece. The upstream guide has a plurality of supports angularly spaced about the axis and respective holders displaceable in the supports along respective holder axes extending radially of the axis and having respective centering elements engaging the workpiece radially of the main axis. Respective biasing units braced between the holders and the supports elastically press the elements against the workpiece radially of the main axis Respective brake elements in the supports engage radially of the holder axes against the holders and are pressed radially of the holder axes against the holders so as to rub on the holders and damp vibration in the workpiece.

Upstream guide for peeling machine

A peeling machine through which a rod workpiece is moved along a workpiece axis has upstream and downstream guides centering the workpiece on the axis is and axially flanking a rotary scraper engaging the workpiece and carried on an upstream end of a scraper tube coaxially surrounding the downstream guide and rotatable about the workpiece axis. The downstream guide has a stationary tubular housing extending coaxially in the rotatable scraper tube, a plurality of shafts pivotal in the tubular housing about respective guide axes angularly spaced about the workpiece axis, and respective axially elongated guide bars fixed on the shafts, extending axially therealong generally a full length of the scraper tube, and projecting radially of the guide axes therefrom. Guide elements&mdash;rollers or blocks&mdash;carried on the bars are engageable radially of the workpiece axis with the workpiece.
