A process for sub-dividing a laminated flooring substrate (10) into a plurality of laminated flooring planks (60, 61, 62, 63, 64) and a system therefor are described. The process can include providing a laminated flooring substrate having a decorative pattern (20) on a core wherein the decorative pattern can include a plurality of indicators (22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28), and independently detecting the indicators with a plurality of detecting devices (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37), each assigned a respective indicator. The detecting devices can individually obtain the position of the detected indicators and a control unit can align a separate saw blade (42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52) per each position detected. The system includes a cutting unit (40) with individually adjustable saws (42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52) or an alignment device configured to align the laminated flooring substrate with the saws, to cut the laminated flooring substrate along positions relative to the detected indicators, for example, in the center thereof or off -set therefrom. |
