The invention relates to an apparatus for fitting an edge profile on a narrow surface of a panel-form material in an edge-banding apparatus, having a panel carrier for accommodating a panel-form material. The panel carrier has an upper side running in a plane, having an edge-profile-feeding device, and having an edge-profile guide, said guide having at least one guide means along which or through which can be guided the edge profile. This can be fed by the edge-profile-feeding device. In order to prevent or reduce offsetting in the corner region of the panel-form material, the invention proposes that the at least one guide means should be movable relative to the panel carrier in a direction running at an angle to the plane in which the upper side of the panel carrier runs. The invention also relates to a method for fitting an edge profile, and to a furniture part produced thereby.

The invention concerns a device (1) for the coating of workpieces (2) which preferably consist, at least in sections, of wood, wooden materials, plastics, aluminium or the like, comprising: a feed means (10) for feeding a coating material (12), a pressing means (20) for pressing the coating material (12) onto a surface (2a) of a workpiece (2), a conveyor means (4) for causing a relative motion between the pressing means (20) and the respective workpiece (2), and a first joining means (30; 50) for applying and/or activating an adhesive agent on a coating material (12) fed by the feed means (10) and/or a surface to be coated of the workpiece (2), characterized in that the device further comprises at least a second joining means (40; 60) for applying and/or activating an adhesive agent on a coating material (12) fed by the feed means (10) and/or a surface to be coated of a workpiece (2).

The present invention is directed to a method of making a door having first and second door facings and an internal doorframe. An interior side of a first facing is coated with quick acting adhesive. A frame is placed on the coated interior side about the periphery of the first facing. The frame is then coated with quick acting adhesive. An interior side of a second facing is placed on the coated frame. The facings and frame assembly are then compressed to form a door. The present invention also provides for an automated system of making the door.

A device for fixing an edge material to a narrow side of a panel-shaped workpiece is provided, which has a feed mechanism for supplying the edge material to the narrow side of the workpiece, at least one infrared emitter for activating an adhesive layer, facing the workpiece, of the edge material, and a pressing mechanism for pressing the edge material onto the narrow side of the workpiece. In order to activate the adhesive layer of the edge material by means of infrared radiation using a reliable process without adversely affecting the visible face of the edge material, a radiation exposure zone with a specifiable size is arranged in the feed path of the edge material. In the exposure zone, the adhesive layer of the edge material is exposed to infrared radiation. The device has a guide mechanism for guiding the edge material through the radiation exposure zone.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for laser kerfed veneers. A laser may be used to produce kerf lines in thin veneers. The settings of the laser may be adjusted to adjust the width and depth of the kerf lines. The width and depth of the kerf lines may be selected in order to provide sufficient strength to the veneer while decreasing telegraphing.

An automated edge band application machine has a board drive assembly and an opposed caster wheel that together capture and move a work piece edge into engagement with a rotating roller banding guide with edge banding captured between. An adhesive affixes the edge banding to the work piece responsive thereto. An edging detector is located along the path of the work piece edge, in a position in advance of the board drive assembly, and is configured to detect a presence of edge band on the edge of the work piece. When the edging detector detects edging, or at a precise distance along the edge band thereafter, a cutting die assembly severs the edge band. The board drive assembly automatically adjusts to varying thickness work pieces, engages with a work piece major surface, and rotates in synchrony with a drive spindle assembly and the rotating roller banding guide.

A door pressing system for pressing interior passage doors, exterior entry doors, bi-fold doors, and/or closet doors features a multi-door pressing station including first and second presses, a loading device, and a discharging device. The pressing station is configured to alternatively move the first and second presses into operative alignment with the loading and discharging devices. The press in operative alignment delivers a pressed assembled door to the discharging device and receives an assembled door layup to be pressed from the loading device. The other press that is out of operatively alignment presses an assembled door received therein. Additional methods and systems are also provided.

The present invention relates to a method for edge coating a substrate, in particular a plate-shaped substrate, in addition to a system or a plant for carrying out the method. The invention also relates to a plate-shaped substrate obtained according to said method and to uses thereof.
