Abstract
A wood grinding machine may have a vibration detection system including one or more vibration sensors. The vibration detection system may include a trip point representative of a maximum allowable level of vibration. If a vibration signal from the one or more vibration sensors exceeds the trip point, a trip protocol may be executed to automatically stop the grinding process. Related methods are also disclosed.
