A machine for working a workpiece made of wood, plastic, glass, fiberglass, metal, ceramic, and the like including an entry station for the entrance of the workpiece to be worked and an exit station for the exit of the worked workpiece; a conveyor group for moving the workpiece to be worked, according to a forward direction, from the entry station towards the exit station; at least one working unit of the workpiece, arranged overhead with respect to the conveyor group including at least one working tool of the workpiece; the machine including a laser system configured for carrying out further working operations on the workpiece. Also disclosed is a laser system that can be installed on a machine for machining a workpiece and an operation method of a machine for machining a workpiece.

[Problem] To address the problem of conventional old wood texture or antique taste boards which lack natural looking worn effects and present an appearance of an artificial treatment applied thereto. [Solution] Unlike a conventional configuration in which the rotary shaft of a roll brush is simply and fixedly arranged parallel to the wood grains of a board to which surface treatment is applied or the painted surface where paint is applied to the wood grains, the rotary shaft may be obliquely set to any angle including a right angle, and may be rotationally driven at high speed at a given inclined angle relative to the horizontal surface of the board along a left to right direction of the roll brush. This makes different “contact strength” of a roll brush such as a metal brush obliquely applied to each right and left end of the board, thereby causing the inclined roll brush to peel off the wood grains or the painted surface where paint is applied to the wood grains with difference strengths for each end of the board. This makes it possible to implement “uzukuri” (brushing process) with different designs presented along a left to right direction of the board.

A workpiece passes through a belt grinder for grinding and structuring a flat workpiece in a predefined direction of passage (P1) past at least one machining area of a structuring device. The structuring device comprises at least one endless grinding belt which is guided over deflection elements in at least one direction of circulation (P3) and the width of the which extends substantially across the working width of the belt grinder, and is guided over deflection elements, the longitudinal axes of which are oriented transversely to the direction of passage (P1) of the workpiece. Furthermore, the structuring device comprises an endless press-on belt 220 which is configured and arranged such that it exerts a force from the inside on the grinding belt in a press-on area, wherein the endless press-on belt is drivable with the aid of a drive unit. The direction of circulation (P2) of the press-on belt runs, at least in the press-on area, transversely to the direction of circulation (P3) of the grinding belt. The structuring device and the transport unit are configured and arranged such that the workpiece guided past the structuring device comes into contact with the machining area of the grinding belt. The structuring device comprises a control unit which controls the drive unit of the press-on belt such that the drive unit selectively drives the endless press-on belt in a first direction of circulation (P2) or in a second direction of circulation that is opposite to the first direction of circulation (P2).

A process for making anti-reflective optical glass comprises the steps of: A. implementing an abrading tool including a carrier having a plurality of diamond cutting wires formed on the carrier; and B. centrifugally and resiliently abrading a substrate of optical glass by the abrading tool to form a plurality of microscopic protuberances or moth-eye like structures on the substrate to thereby reduce the light reflection from the substrate and increase the light transmission in the substrate.

According to a processing method of a stone composite board, the two sides of a natural stone board are ground and flattened until a preset standard value of thickness variation is reached, then the surface planes and base material layers are subjected to pressure-compositing through adhesive layers, afterwards splitting is conducted, and the natural stone layer is subjected to calibrated planing with diamond roller and surface treatment to obtain the ultra-thin stone composite board.

A decoating method for the edge decoating of glass sheets, the glass sheets having at least on one of their two glass surfaces a protective coating in the form of a peel-off protective film or in the form of a polymer protective layer that cannot be peeled off, and preferably having a functional coating situated under the protective coating, the protective film being partially mechanically removed, in particular ground away, for the edge decoating, in the form of at least one film strip, laser traces being introduced into the protective film before the mechanical removal of the film strip, and the laser traces being introduced in such a way that the film strip is removed in the form of individual film strip partial pieces separated from one another by the laser traces; or the polymer protective layer being removed using laser radiation.
