Twin-station wood panel machining progresses successive work pieces through sequenced stations both tooled for machining operations allowing steady work flow.

摘要

First machining is performed by the tools (G1) of the first workstation (S1) and the work piece (P1) passes to the second station (S2) as a second work piece (P2) is introduced into the first station (S1). In the second station, work piece (P1) is subjected to third machining by the tool units (G3) of the second station and then machined for the fourth time by second station tool units (G4) number four. First station tool units (G1) perform a third machining on the second work piece (P2) in the first station and then expose it to second machining by station (S1) tools (G2). As the first work piece (P1) leaves station (S2) so the second work piece (P2) in turn enters this station (S2) for first machining by the station (S2) tools (G3) and fourth machining by tools (G4). At this stage a third work piece enters the first station (S1) for machining by the station (S1) tools (G1 and G2) and so forth. Tooling units comprise vertical borers (G1-4) and dowel plates (G4).
