    Abstract: A workpiece processing system is provided that includes a first carousel rotary conveyor associated with a first plurality of stations through which workpieces are successively rotationally conveyed, a second carousel rotary conveyor associated with a second plurality of stations through which the workpieces are successively rotationally conveyed, and an inter-carousel transport configured to selectively operate in a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the inter-carousel transport is operable to successively transfer the workpieces from the first carousel rotary conveyor to the second carousel rotary conveyor. In the second mode, the inter-carousel transport is operable to successively reorient the workpieces of a selected one of the first carousel rotary conveyor or the second carousel rotary conveyor by approximately 180 degrees of rotation for further successive rotational conveyance of the workpieces through the stations associated with the selected first or second carousel rotary conveyor.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of producing a laminated wood product, comprising providing a plank presenting a pair of parallel major surfaces, a pair of minor surfaces, a pair of end surfaces and a longitudinal direction parallel with said major and minor surfaces and perpendicular to the end surfaces, said plank having a water content of more than 25% by weight, preferably more than 30% by weight, initializing at least one longitudinal crack in the plank, drying said crack initialized plank to a moisture content of less than 20% by weight, and laminating said crack initialized plank by gluing at least one of its major surfaces to a surface of a second member, thus forming the laminated wood product. The disclosure also relates to a laminated wood product, which may be formed according to the method.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for manufacturing a board body (10), such as a skateboard, from a blank (20) having an indefinite shape. The blank (20) with the indefinite shape is collected by a handling robot (50). The shape of the blank (20) is scanned in three dimensions by means of a vision system (47) and a virtual image of said blank (20) is stored in a memory and used to calculate a three dimensional cutting path for milling the blank (20) into said board body (10).

    Abstract: A wood processing system has a processing assembly containing a carrier movable in a second linear axis at right angles to a first linear axis and a third linear axis perpendicular to it, on which a processing unit designed as a motor spindle to accommodate at least one rotationally driven processing tool is arranged to pivot around three axes of rotation. The processing unit is arranged to pivot around a third axis of rotation spaced from the first axis of rotation on the free end of an arm pivotable on the carrier around a first axis of rotation and a second axis of rotation perpendicular to the first axis of rotation. The arm is arranged rotatable by 360° around the second axis of rotation on a front carrier part, which is arranged to rotate around the first axis of rotation perpendicular to the first linear axis on a front end face of the carrier.

    Abstract: This invention relates to the woodworking industry. The method of processing of wood products across the grain in two or more planes with various cross-section shapes includes orientation, locating with subsequent clamping, feeding and processing along the mutually perpendicular generatrices. Multiple products can be processed at the same time. The products are placed in the transverse direction relative to the longitudinal axis of the product, as well as to the longitudinal axis of the processing lines, and to the longitudinal axis of the bench. The products are shifted from the processing lines so that all the auxiliary operations are performed simultaneously and automatically in each plane. The lengths of the products to be processed simultaneously shall be matched with respect to each other to satisfy the condition under which their total length shall be equal or as close as possible to the length of the standard input workpiece. For processing, the products shall be moved with respect to the fixed electric power drives. Operations of each product processing are divided into groups of operations. Each group of operations processes simultaneously the products throughout the length of the workpiece in one plane. The time of executions of all the groups of operations shall be equal, or closely comparable to each other. Each group of operations is performed in a separate zone. After completing a group of operations, the products are moved to the next zone. The zone of the previous operations shall be freed for processing the next product. Starting from the number of a group of operations for processing the products in the first plane, corresponding to the quantity of groups of operations into which the full cycle of products processing is divided, the processing of the products is performed simultaneously in all the processing planes. The procedure of simultaneous processing of product batches in all planes shall be repeated until the full completion of the product batch processing. The processing of the next product batch is performed in the same way. This improves the product processing performance. 5 figures.
