The invention relates to a processing machine (10) or method for processing substantially plate-shaped work pieces (W), preferably made at least partially from wood, wood materials, composite materials or plastics, wherein the processing machine (10) has a processing device (6) for processing a work piece (W) in a processing direction (R), an optical detection device (2), an evaluation unit and a control device (4), wherein: the optical detection device (2) is designed and configured in such a way that it can optically detect front and rear (in relation to the processing direction (6)) end sections (Q1, Q2) of a work piece (W) to be processed, and it provides the evaluation unit with corresponding detection results; the evaluation unit is designed in such a way that it assesses, based on the detection results, whether a coating (B) is present on the front and/or rear end section (Q1, Q2) of the work piece (W) to be processed, and provides the control device (4) with corresponding assessment results; and the control device is designed in such a way that it controls the further processing of the work piece (W) to be processed via the processing device (6) on the basis of the assessment results.

A method for adaptation of dimensions of lightweight furniture panels having an internal honeycomb structure includes the steps of severing an edge strip of the panel with the structurally stable edge zone necessary for stability of the panel; cutting off the honeycomb structure flat in each case along the inner surfaces of the two outer panels; clearing out the honeycomb structure, which has been loosened by the flat cutting-off action, between the two outer panels; supplying a structurally stable replacement strip board; coating the two inner surfaces of the coating panels of the lightweight panel and/or the two outer surfaces of the structurally stable replacement strip board; pressing together the components; severing a residual strip exceeding the intended size of the processed panel from the size-adapted lightweight panel.

A device and a method for machining a workpiece are provided, wherein said workpiece includes segments of wood, wood-based materials, synthetic material or the like, having a first milling tool for contour machining an edge attached to said workpiece, a second milling tool for contour machining the edge attached to said workpiece, which is adjustable in relation to said first milling tool between a resting position, in which said first milling tool is engageable with the workpiece, and a machining position, in which said second milling tool is engageable with a workpiece. The device is characterized by a third milling tool for flush milling a narrow side of the edge attached to said workpiece, the three milling tools being arranged coaxially to each other and all are jointly drivable by one device.

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 method to produce a veneered element, including providing a first layer of a first powder and applying a second layer of a second powder above the first layer. Further the method includes applying a veneer layer above the second layer. Thereafter heating and pressing the first layer, the second layer and the veneer layer together to form the veneered element and forming a bevel at least partly along at least one side portion of the veneered element, where the first layer, the second layer and the veneer layer are at least partly exposed in the bevel.
