A feeding machine includes: a machine shell having a supporting end and a driving end that is opposite to the supporting end; a feeding unit connected to the machine shell and including a plurality of feeding wheels spaced apart from one another; and a driving unit including a motor that extends into the machine shell and that has an output shaft, and a speed reducing member that is disposed between the motor and the feeding unit and that has a worm and a worm wheel orthogonal to the worm. The worm is disposed in the machine shell and on the output shaft of the motor. The worm wheel is disposed under the worm.

An elongate mount couples an insert to a feed roll via a proximal edge thereof. The proximal edge of the elongate mount faces both outwards in part and forwards in part. The elongate mount has a recessed region that is twisted in part. The insert is shaped to be received at least in part within and matingly engage with the elongate mount via the recessed region. The elongate mount is shaped to enclose the proximal edge, spaced-apart ends and backing fact of the insert.

A pressing device for a machine tool for processing or machining workpieces made of wood or plastics is provided with at least one support with a counter wedge surface. At least one pressing element is fastened to the at least one support. At least one wedge clamping device is provided that has at least one wedge pressure member with a first wedge surface that is resting on the counter wedge surface of the at least one support. The at least one wedge clamping device also has at least one adjusting element acting on the at least one wedge pressure member. The at least one wedge clamping device clamps the at least one pressing element on the at least one support. A machine tool with such a pressing device is provided.

A material handling system includes an array of independently controlled positioning devices, a positioning table which support and manipulate workpiece attributes such as position, orientation, velocity and/or acceleration of workpieces on the table. The positioning devices are arrayed such that no single positioning device supports more than one workpiece at a time, thereby allowing for simultaneous and independent control of each workpiece.

A measurement apparatus for the detection of the feed movement of a workpiece to be processed, which has a belt or chain, which is guided on a carrier via deflection disks, a pressure device, which is moved along in its movement direction with the belt or the chain for the pressing of the belt or the chain against the workpiece, and a sensor for the detection of the movement of the belt or the chain. An accurate measurement can be attained in that the carrier on a holder can be rotated around a swivel axis, which is at a right angle to the direction of movement of the belt or the chain.
