METHOD FOR PROCESSING FLAT WORKPIECES

In the method for processing flat workpieces (4， 5)， more particularly made of wood or wood substitute materials， the following steps are carried out: providing a large-format panel (4)， more particularly made of wood or wood substitute materials， and feeding (PI) the large-format panel (4) to a separating station (1); separating flat workpieces (5) by dividing the provided large-format panel (4) in the separating station (1) by making cuts in the large-format panel (4) by at least one separating unit (11); feeding the workpieces (5) separated in this way to at least one downstream machining station (2， 3) to finish the flat workpiece (5). The separating station (1) provides at least part of each separated workpiece (5) with an orienting portion (5a) for acting on gripping elements (14， 15) and/or for the introduction of reference bores. The workpiece (5) provided with the orienting portion (5a) is， after having been separated， taken up by means of a gripping element (14， 15)， engagement element or capture element which acts on the orienting portion (5a) preferably in an interlocking manner.

本发明涉及一种扁平工件（flat workpieces）的加工方法，所述扁平工件尤其由木材或木质替代材料（wood substitute materials）制成，具体执行如下步骤：提供大幅面板材（large-format panel），该大幅面板材尤其由木材或木质替代材料制成，并将大幅面板材（4）经输送工序（PI）输送至分离工位（separating station，1）；通过至少一个分离单元（separating unit，11）在大幅面板材（4）上实施切割加工，从而在分离工位（1）内对所提供的大幅面板材（4）进行分割，以切割分离出扁平工件（5）；将经此方式分离得到的工件（5）输送至至少一个下游加工工位（downstream machining station，2、3），以完成该扁平工件（5）的精加工工序。分离工位（1）为每个分离得到的工件（5）的至少一部分设置定位部（orienting portion，5a），该定位部可与夹持元件（gripping elements，14、15）配合作用，亦或用于开设基准孔（reference bores）。完成分离后，设置有定位部（5a）的工件（5）将由夹持元件（14、15）、接合元件或捕获元件拾取，该元件优选以联锁啮合的方式与定位部（5a）配合作用。本发明涉及一种扁平工件（flat workpieces）的加工方法，所述扁平工件尤其由木材或木质替代材料（wood substitute materials）制成，具体执行如下步骤：提供大幅面板材（large-format panel），该大幅面板材尤其由木材或木质替代材料制成，并将大幅面板材（4）经输送工序（PI）输送至分离工位（separating station，1）；通过至少一个分离单元（separating unit，11）在大幅面板材（4）上实施切割加工，从而在分离工位（1）内对所提供的大幅面板材（4）进行分割，以切割分离出扁平工件（5）；将经此方式分离得到的工件（5）输送至至少一个下游加工工位（downstream machining station，2、3），以完成该扁平工件（5）的精加工工序。分离工位（1）为每个分离得到的工件（5）的至少一部分设置定位部（orienting portion，5a），该定位部可与夹持元件（gripping elements，14、15）配合作用，亦或用于开设基准孔（reference bores）。完成分离后，设置有定位部（5a）的工件（5）将由夹持元件（14、15）、接合元件或捕获元件拾取，该元件优选以联锁啮合的方式与定位部（5a）配合作用。
