Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a copying unit for adjusting the finishing of wooden panels surfaces and the like.
  • the invention relates to a copying unit of the aforesaid type, designed and manufactured in particular to allow a finishing or rounding of the edges of the panels, but which can be used for any application in which working surfaces and edges of wood panels is necessary.
  • the cutters do not damage the upper and lower surface of the panel and then the so-called noble part of the same. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly position the cutters with respect to the edge to be rounded.
  • the panels hardly have an exactly flat surface and inevitably have surface inaccuracies.
  • copying devices each of which includes a disk, concentric to the rotation axis of the cutter, which is made to roll or crawl on the surface of the panel so that the cutter follow any surface imperfections of the panel.
  • the rounding devices including cutter and copying devices are applied to the sides of a sliding plane, on which the panels to be worked, previously edged by an edging system, are made to slide.
  • the rounding of the edges of the panels involves a rounding of the horizontal edges, vertical edges, and the vertices or cusps of the same.
  • each copier by means of the cutter connected to the respective roller, is suitably moved with respect to the lateral surface of the panel, in such a way as to finish the horizontal, vertical edge, and the vertex of this lateral surface.
  • the horizontal edge has a much larger dimension than the vertical edge, and, considering the fact that in the rounding of the upper longitudinal edge the cutter is located near the noble part of the panel, which does not happen when rounding the vertical edge, to avoid any risk of damaging the surface of the panel, it is desirable to leave a minimum portion of the tape, so as to avoid any risk.
  • the panel is further finished by means of a further machine tool, called in jargon "edge scraper", and arranged downstream of the rounder, which allows removing any residues of the belt from the longitudinal edge of the panel after the rounding phase.
  • edge scraper a further machine tool
  • the lateral surface of the panel could not be correctly rounded or it could be rounded only partially, making further interventions necessary, and, therefore, slowing down machining times.
