The invention relates to a method for operating at least one machining apparatus as well as a machining system with at least one machining apparatus. Such a machining apparatus can be a machining apparatus for machining workpieces, in particular panel-shaped workpieces, which are used, for example, in the furniture and component industry.

A rectangular panel has long and short edges, such that on each long edge and on each short edge, the panel has a coupling part, which allows the panel to be coupled to another similar panel.

A mortiser comprises a double spindle head having an input spindle drivingly connectable to a spindle of a CNC machine. The head has a pair of output spindles drivingly connected to the input spindle and spaced-apart along a feed axis X. A pair of mandrels are drivingly connected to the output spindles. Router bits are mounted at a distal end of the mandrels. A frame member is disposed between the pair of mandrels. The frame member provides support to the pair of mandrels along the feed axis X.

Building panels, especially laminated floor panels are shown, which are provided with a locking system and several core grooves at the rear side in order to save material and decrease weight. Building panels, each having a surface layer on a front side, a backing layer on a rear side and an intermediate core, wherein the intermediate core and the surface and the backing layer all comprise wood fibres and thermosetting resins, the building panels are provided with a locking system for vertical and horizontal locking of a first edge of a first building panel to an adjacent second edge of a second building panel.

An automated cutting for scenic flats construction system and method for cutting of wide dadoes accurately spaced along sets of multiple boards to be used as studs or stiles for scenic flats, cleanly and accurately across the boards in one pass for each wide dado cut. A controller controls the automatic operation. A main unit with a support stand and a main-unit shell provides a sled unit extending and retracting along linear-bearing tracks by operation of sled actuators controlled by the controller. The sled unit provides a wide one-pass dado blade assembly capable of cutting a wide dado across multiple boards in one pass as the sled unit is moved along the linear-bearing tracks by the sled actuators under the control of the controller. After initial positioning of the set of uncut boards on an infeed table and against a positioning stop, the set of boards is held in place by hold-down clamps, the wide dado cut is made in one pass of the sled unit with the wide one-pass dado blade assembly, the hold-down clamps are released, the set of boards is moved through the main unit and toward a receiving table by a pre-set distance by a driving dog on a drive chain, the hold-down clamps are activated, and another wide dado cut is made in one pass, all under the control of the controller, repeating until all dado cuts are made to the set of boards.

A laminated wood product comprising providing a plank presenting a pair of parallel major surfaces, a pair of minor surfaces, a pair of end surfaces and a longitudinal direction parallel with said major and minor surfaces and perpendicular to the end surfaces, said plank having a water content of more than 25% by weight, preferably more than 30% by weight. At least one of the major surfaces is laminated to a surface of a second member.

An adjusting mechanism for a cutting tool having knife holders circumferentially interspaced and having a back surface facing a circumferential direction and a seat surface facing a radial direction. The mechanism includes a support member having fixation points securable to the cutting tool. A deformable member is sandwiched between the cutting tool and the support member. The deformable member defines an adjustable lateral reference surface facing an axial direction to be in abutment with the knife inserts. An adjustment member is mounted on one of the support member and the deformable member between the fixation points of the support member. The adjustment member is operable to exert a force on the deformable member to locally deform the deformable member from an undeformed state to a deformed state. An axial distance between the support member and the deformable member is greater in the deformed state than in the undeformed state.
