A method of producing a semi-product for a building panel, wherein the method includes the step of: arranging at least two distance strips, on a first sawn timber board; arranging a second saw timber board to the distance strips; applying a glue; positioning of the first and the second sawn timber board and the distance strips by applying a pressure; and applying a pressure on the first and the second sawn timber board by a third and a fourth element, in a direction perpendicular to a top surface of the second sawn timber board, until the distance strips is bonded by the glue to the first and the second sawn timber board and thereby obtaining a solid batch; and cutting of said solid batch in the length direction of the first and the second timber boards.

Systems and methods for a stud plate connector are disclosed. The system can include a base plate having a first cam slot and a second cam slot, where the second cam slot is approximately a mirror image of the first cam slot. The system can include a first upper cam-follower located within the first cam slot. The system can include a second upper cam-follower located within the second cam slot, where the first and second cam-followers hold opposite sides of a first lumber and move the first lumber to contact a second lumber. The system can include a first lower gripper and a second lower gripper for holding the second lumber in a perpendicular direction with respect to the first lumber. The system can include a bonding device located before to the first and second lumber, where the bonding device bonds the first and second lumber together

A system and method for producing a rectangular wooden panel with boards extending diagonally at an angle (), where each of the boards has opposite longitudinal sides and transverse sides includes a trimming device for trimming the transverse sides of the boards at an angle (90). The trimmed boards are transported to a position in front a joining station, and the boards are arranged at angle () in relation to a direction of displacement. The boards are then glued on at least the longitudinal side facing a board already located in the joining station, and then inserted into the joining station with a displacement device that includes a plurality of towing trolleys arranged on a coupling bar. The displacement device travels a displacement path in the displacement direction that runs parallel to the orientation of the transverse sides of the boards. The inserted board is pressed and glued to the board already in the joining station. These steps are repeated until a wooden panel of the desired size is achieved. Then, a triangular gusset is made with a cut running perpendicular to the transverse sides at one end of the wooden panel to produce a first right-angled side edge, and this cut-off gusset is then glued at the opposite end of the wooden panel such that a second right-angled side edge is produced. The system includes a controller which controls the cutting, gluing, pressing, joining, and displacement operations.

A roller coaster track may comprise a laminate and a metal bearing layer. A method of manufacturing a roller coaster track may comprise manufacturing a laminate, manufacturing a metal bearing layer, and assembling the laminate and bearing layer. The bearing layer may be at least partially filled with grout. A method of repairing a wood roller coaster track may comprise removing a layer of laminate, and replacing the layer with a metal bearing layer.

Processes for bonding lignocellulosic substrates without an added adhesive are described. The processes of the invention may include exposing the surfaces of the lignocellulosic substrate to a rapid heating source to cause one or more physical, chemical, or other modifications on the surface of the substrate. As a result of the modifications, the surfaces may form a bond with another substrate under elevated temperatures and pressures, for example, produced by a means for pressing such as a conventional hot press used in the woodworking arts. The processes allow a variety of composites such as wood materials for use in the furniture making or construction industries to be manufactured. As the processes forgo the need for petroleum-based adhesives, they are more environmentally sound and occupationally safe than prior art wood product manufacturing methods. Additionally, composite materials made by the processes of the invention are described.

The invention relates to a method for machining a workpiece, in particular for a profiled leaf element of a window leaf frame, wherein the workpiece is initially machined using a first machining device in order to create a machined first surface to which an adhesive tape is to be applied, and the workpiece is further machined once the adhesive tape has been applied.

Disclosed herein are various systems, sub-system, and methods for the manufacture of a wall module for using in building a modular construction unit, e.g., for using in building residential homes, commercial offices, educational or service facilities, etc. using a substantially entirely automated modular construction technique. According to the disclosure herein, the resulting wall module includes an internal wall frame including wall studs attached between a top plate and a bottom plate, with, in some embodiment, one or more framing sub-assemblies attached therein to define openings through the wall module. The wall frame has suitable panel members the respective surfaces thereof corresponding to the interior and exterior surfaces of the modular construction unit. The wall frames, when completely assembled, can be transported to be assembled with other constituent components of the modular construction unit to complete the manufacture of the modular construction unit.

This invention relates to a process for the division of an individual input source log into discrete longitudinal lengths for subsequent processing. The process comprises receiving an individual input source log, dividing the input source log into one or a plurality of output log portions of a predetermined length, wherein at least a portion of said output log portions resultant from said division are of a substantially equal or substantially constant or consistent longitudinal length, and wherein said substantially equal or substantially constant or consistent longitudinal length output log portions are procured as a feed stream of log material for a subsequent processing step. This process provides for the processing of logs and subsequent assembly into an end product formed from a composite of sticks derived from said processed logs.

A device for joining multi-layered panels made of individual boards has a height-adjustable workbench. layers of boards arranged at an angle to each other and joined together. A guide for the material is provided at least on one side of the workbench, preferably on two adjoining sides. The device comprises at least one transport device for transporting boards to the processing position.
