Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a processing machine for processing workpieces, which are preferably at least partially made of wood, wood-based materials or the like.
  • the above-mentioned processing machines often have, in addition to a variety of machining functions, such. Milling, drilling saws, also special functions, such as. the coating of the workpiece with coating material, in particular the attachment of edge strip material to workpiece surfaces, on. This makes it possible to perform several different operations on a workpiece on a machine with high automation.
  • a processing machine for processing workpieces which preferably consist at least partially of wood, wood-based materials or the like, has at least one processing unit for processing the workpiece.
  • the processing unit is designed, for example, as a multi-axis machining head, which can flexibly execute different machining techniques, such as, for example, milling, sawing or drilling.
  • the processing unit is preferably associated with a tool magazine, which allows an automatic replacement of different tools depending on the desired processing.
  • Several processing units can be provided, which can then process at the same time or allow a processing unit to be set up, while the other processing unit processes. As a result, the throughput can be increased because main times are parallelized and downtime is minimized.
  • the processing machine has at least one coating unit for coating the workpiece with coating material which has at least one associated coating material magazine for providing coating material for the coating process.
  • a coating material for example, edge band material is used, which is coated by means of the coating unit e.g. is applied to workpiece surfaces.
  • the coating material in particular edge band material, is stored in the coating material magazine, for example, wound up as roll-shaped coils.
  • the coating material magazine space can be provided for a plurality of winding, of which successively or in parallel coating material is unwound and fed to the coating process.
  • the coating material is applied to the workpiece and pressed, for example, with heat to the workpiece.
  • an adhesive may be applied to the workpiece or coating material or both prior to application of the coating material to the workpiece.
  • the coating material magazine is preferably movable in the processing machine between a change position and a working position, so that its accessibility for an operator in the change position for a change of coating material is particularly good.
  • the processing machine further has a bar-shaped guide arrangement, along which the processing unit and the coating unit, preferably independently of each other, are movably arranged on the guide arrangement.
  • a bar-shaped guide arrangement along which the processing unit and the coating unit, preferably independently of each other, are movably arranged on the guide arrangement.
  • the guide arrangement is realized, for example, as a cantilever construction or in gantry design.
  • the gantry design is generally more rigid, while the jib construction allows more spatial freedom.
  • the processing unit and the coating unit are preferably movable independently of each other and can be operated in time and space flexible.
  • the coating unit can be moved on an operating side of the processing machine in such a way that the coating material magazine can be charged with coating material by an operator. Due to the possibility of loading the coating material magazine from the operating side, this can be supplied by the operator without having to open the safety devices, which in particular shield the working space of the coating unit in operation from intervention by the operator. This makes it possible that the machining program of the machine must not be interrupted by a change of the coating material, but continues to run. Also, there is a significant improvement in the user-friendliness of the processing machine. Furthermore, the fact that the safety devices do not have to be unlocked when changing the coating material, or no status query must be acknowledged, the change faster feasible. In addition, it is achieved by the structure chosen that tool change and the loading of coating material, such as edge material, are independent of each other. This allows the operation of processing unit and coating unit in a quick change.
  • the processing machine has a processing table for clamping the workpieces.
  • the workpieces can be placed, for example, from the operating side on the machining table.
  • the coating unit and the processing unit are arranged on one side of the bar-shaped guide arrangement, wherein the coating unit is provided on the operating side. This allows the operator to easily access the coating unit to configure, adjust, maintain or supply coating material.
  • the tool changer is preferably arranged on the other side of the machine, ie the side which is not the operating side. This provides accessibility of the coating unit to the operator without the latter having to open the safety devices associated with the tool changer. This achieves a significant improvement in user-friendliness. Due to the one-sided construction, the machine bed length is further reduced, which is advantageous in terms of space optimization. Machines with and without gluing technology can be built on the same basic machine and thus the variants of the basic machine can be reduced.
  • the processing machine has at least one sensor on the operating side, which is set up to detect objects entering a predetermined area. As a result, it can be detected, for example, if the operator approaches too close to the machine or even accidentally intervenes in the working area of the coating unit or if another object gets into it. The operator can then be warned, for example, by an optical or acoustic signal. It is also possible to stop the coating unit. In this way, the safety during operation of the processing machine can be increased.
  • the coating material magazine is designed as a cassette magazine or coating material feed which is adapted to receive one or more coating material cassettes.
  • the coating material in particular edge band material, is wound up therein, for example, and stored as roll-shaped coils.
  • the wraps are widely distributed in cassettes so that they have increased stability and handleability.
  • the cassettes have, for example, an axis on which the edge band material is wound up.
  • the coating material magazine is adapted to receive at least one coating material cassette in a position inclined relative to the horizontal. This results in a small footprint or can be inserted even larger coating material cassettes.
  • a tool changer is arranged on the rear side of the processing machine opposite the operating side.
  • the tool changer makes it possible, preferably automated, to load different processing tools into the processing unit.
  • the required for this purpose movable mechanism and associated safety technology is thus opposite and thus not arranged on the operating side of the machine tool. This results in an undisturbed access to the coating unit for the operator.
  • the guide arrangement is by a boom or a portal educated.
  • the design of the guide assembly as a boom which has a free end and is attached to the other end of a column, offers a particularly flexible spatial arrangement.
  • the space under the free end can be used for the arrangement of aggregates.
  • the gantry design is particularly stiff or with a given stiffness with low weight feasible.
  • the free end of the guide assembly is arranged on the operating side. This results in a free passage under the boom for the operator.
  • the bar-shaped guide arrangement is arranged to be movable. This allows a mobility of the processing unit and the coating unit in addition to their mobility along the guide assembly.
  • the beam-shaped guide arrangement is movable in a direction which is aligned orthogonal to the mobility along the guide arrangement, so that two degrees of freedom of movement result in one plane.
  • the coating material magazine is automated or manually removable. This allows the coating material magazine to be equipped with coating material outside the processing machine.
  • the edge band materials are stored in the coating material magazine, for example as roll-shaped coils.
  • the wraps are widely distributed in cassettes so that they have increased stability and handleability.
  • the cassettes have, for example, an axis on which the edge band material is wound up.
  • the coating material magazine can be equipped, for example, with a plurality of windings of edge strip material as coating material, while at the same time the coating unit is supplied with coating material from a coating material magazine inserted into the processing machine. The Downtimes of the coating material magazine can be reduced thereby.
  • a safety cover is provided for closing the processing unit and preferably also the coating unit to the surroundings of the processing machine, which can be opened on the operating side.
  • a contact sensor is arranged on the processing machine, which detects the closed position of the safety cover. The safety cover allows protection against inadvertent intervention of the operator, for example in the coating unit.
  • the safety cover has an opening for supplying coating material, so that even in the closed position of the safety cover the external supply of coating material is made possible.
  • the supply of particular strip-shaped coating material can be further flexibilized. It is thus possible that also coating material of large rolls, which find no place in the coating material magazine, the coating is supplied.

  • the processing machine 1 has a bar-shaped guide arrangement 10, along which the processing unit 3 and the coating unit 6 can be moved independently of one another. Due to the independent mobility, the processing unit 3 and the coating unit 6 can operate in parallel with each other. For example, the coating unit 6 can be moved into a position in which new edge band material 7 in FIG.
  • Coating material magazine 8 is refilled by an operator, while at the same time the processing unit 3 performs a processing. As a result, the machine downtime can be reduced.
  • the guide assembly 10 is formed by a portal 10 in this embodiment.
  • the portal 10 has a column 18 at each end 17.
  • the bar-shaped guide arrangement can also be designed as a cantilever in which one end is free, so that it can be reached through without this being prevented by a column.
  • a free end of a cantilever allows workpieces to be slid underneath into the work area of the processing machine.
  • the coating unit 6 can be moved on an operating side 20 of the processing machine 1 such that the coating material magazine 8 can be fed by an operator with coating material 7.
  • one or more coating material cassettes 9 can be accommodated, one or more of which can also be arranged in a position inclined relative to the horizontal.
  • the coating unit 6 and the processing unit 3 are arranged on one side 11 of the bar-shaped guide arrangement 10.
  • the coating unit 6 is provided on the operating side 20. This allows a simple loading of the coating unit 6 with coating material 7 by an operator. On one of the operating side 20 opposite back 24 of the processing machine 1, on which, for example, a tool magazine is arranged, the operator does not need to operate this, which facilitates the change of coating material and prevents interruptions of the machining program or minimized.
  • Fig. 2 shows a schematic perspective view of a processing machine 1 according to the invention according to a second embodiment.
