BEST METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The specific process for making wood and laminated acrylic boards consists of the following production stages: a) Cutting.- The wood (Fig. 1) is cut to length, width and thickness, while the acrylic is cut in its long and wide only since the thickness will be the one that by catalog of this material is integrated into the final element depending on the specifications requested by the client, a cutter is used (Fig. 1, part a) through which the wood is passed and the acrylic (Fig. 1, subsection b). b) Edging.- The edging of the wood is done with the same cutter (Fig. 2, subsection a) the wood is passed through the cutter (Fig. 2, subsection b), cut into its two edges until achieving a element squared in its verticals and to the same measure of the lengths and width of the acrylic to integrate.

c) Brushing.- The wood is brushed (Fig. 3) by passing the brush (Fig. 3, paragraph c) over the wood, (Fig. 3, paragraph b), on both sides in order to Obtain a calibrated element, in its thickness previously defined by the specifications of the product requested by the customer. d) Scratched.- It is obtained by roughly converting the faces of the wood (Fig. 4a) and the acrylic (Fig. 4b), by passing the scratcher (Fig. 4a and b, part a), on the wood (Fig. 4a , subsection b) and later on the acrylic (Fig. 4b, subsection e) on which the adhesive will be applied, taking care that they do not lose the calibration of both materials in their thickness. e) Gluing.- It consists of the application of adhesive on wood and acrylic, previously scratched (Fig. 5), with the correct procedure and equipment in order to respect the expected reactions of the adhesive to the air and in such a way as to guarantee no subsequent delamination.

Pressing.- Formation of the sheets in such a way that when following the next step the symmetry and the subdivision between both materials are obtained by placing them in the vertical press and exerting sufficient pressure on the beam waiting for the time indicated by the product data sheet and the standards established in this regard (Fig. 6). Trimming.- The beam is cut in the cutter (Fig. 7, subsection a) to the desired thickness perpendicular to the natural direction of the laminate, obtaining already laminated pieces of wood and acrylic (Fig. 7, subsection b, e and f). h) Rendering.- Adhesive is applied on the edge of the piece or cut sheet to place it before another piece laminated on the horizontal press, repeating the procedure until reaching the standard width of approximately 122 mm (Fig. 8). i) Repressing.- A horizontal press is used (Fig. 9, item g) on which the sheets are placed (Fig. 9, item h) by exerting sufficient pressure and waiting for the adhesive curing time according to the technical data sheet of the product and the standards established in this regard, thus obtaining a wooden and acrylic board with the desired thickness. j) Cleaning.- The laminated board (Fig. 10, item h) is cleaned by passing a bar with a tip (Fig. 10, item i) to eliminate excess adhesive and chips that come into existence. k) Squared.- The board (Fig. 1 1, subsection h) is passed through a machine that cuts it (Fig. 1 1, subsection a) in square by the four edges to ensure that the standard measurements of 122mm are obtained wide by 244 mm long and thus allow the end customer to design their applications with certainty.

I) Sanding.- A sandpaper (Fig. 12, subsection j) is passed over the board (Fig. 12, subsection h) on both sides to obtain the calibration and final finishing, thus removing waste or debris leaving a surface flat and smooth, in natural colors of wood and acrylic chosen to laminate. m) Packing.- A board is packed (Fig. 13, item h) over another depending on its thickness until it is 1000 cm high and it is strapping (Fig. 13, start k) for easy stowage, taking care that the strips do not damage the edges on which they will be placed. n) Warehouse.- Once the boards are packed (Fig. 14, item h) and strapped (Fig.

14, subsection k) are placed in the warehouse with their tag for identification.
