Provided is a production line that includes a conveying section (2) for conveying a plurality of pallets (8 and 8) along a loop-shaped circulation route, a workpiece setting section (3) for setting workpieces on the pallets (8 and 8), a setting-position measuring section (4) for measuring setting position of the workpiece on the pallets (8 and 8), a production process performing section (5) for performing one or multiple production processes at each of a plurality of locations on the circulation route for the workpieces on the pallets (8 and 8), and a workpiece extracting section (6) for extracting workpieces for which the production processes have been performed from the pallets (8 and 8). At least two of the production processes in the production process performing section (5) are performed while taking into account the setting positions of the workpieces on the pallets (8) measured by the setting-position measuring section (4).

In a molder, at least one rotatably driven tool (7, 8, 10, 11) is used to produce the structure (27) or contour on the workpiece (1) by workpiece removal. The workpiece positions along the workpiece (1) for producing the structure or contour are set depending on the data of the workpiece (1) and of the tool (7, 8, 10, 11). The data are transmitted to the machine controller which processes the CNC program based on the data during the passage of the workpiece (1) through the molder and moves the tool (7, 8, 10, 11) into the required positions via CNC drives depending on the workpiece position. The workpiece position is sensed during the passage of the workpiece (1) through the molder. In order to sense the workpiece position in the molder, at least one measuring element (18) is provided upstream and downstream of the tool (1), said measuring element (18) being connected to the machine controller and supplying signals that describe the advancing travel of the workpiece (1) to the machine controller. By way of the machine controller, the tool (7, 8, 10, 11) is moved into the respective tool positions in accordance with the signals.
