<p>A machining unit, typically for wood panels (1), features a work table (2) afforded by a body (4) of prismatic geometry having at least two faces (5, 6) and rotatable about an axis (A) which is also its instantaneous centre, in such a way as to establish at least two movable and tiltable work surfaces; the prismatic body (4) is supported by a frame (8) encompassing the tool (3) and combining with the two faces (5, 6) to create respective independent work areas (5a, 6a), one in which panels (1) are fed to and from the unit, the other coinciding with a station at which machining takes place, and where waste and chips generated by machining are cleared from the table and the work. The prismatic body (4) also functions as the main barrier separating two work environments, the one an open external space occupied by the operator, the other an enclosure disallowing access to the operator while machining is in progress. <IMAGE></p> |
