Automatic machine for width gluing of wooden lamellas into laminated plates of optional dimensions and a method relating thereto

An automatic machine for width gluing of wooden lamellas into laminated plates of optional dimensions comprising a press and an entry glue application device, wherein the press comprises a supporting framework, a work table assembly with endless chains with pusher dogs and non-driven pressure rollers and drive rollers, and further comprising a pressure shoes assembly and a segment pushers assembly, wherein:

• the press is based on a modular construction, comprising at least two in a string positioned work modules, wherein each of the work modules comprises at least one work table assembly, at least one pressure shoes assembly and at least one segment pushers assembly, whereby the pressure shoes assembly comprises at least two long pressure shoes and short pressure shoes arranged in an alternating sequence;
• the work modules are fixed to supporting framework segments so that their work area is located in a same plane as the cut-outs on the supporting framework segments, in order to ensure transit or transport of wooden lamellas in a same plane, both in transverse as well as in longitudinal directions within the press;
• the work modules are interconnected by the supporting framework segments so that each individual work module is surrounded by at least two of the supporting framework segments with an elongated cut-out opened at one side;
• the ends of a pressure element of each pressure shoes assembly are movably joined, via cylinders, with both ends of a carrying element, which is fixed to a framework, and the pressure element is guided via guide, whereas, via pivots and track roller bearings in guide grooves, the pressure element is movably connected with a scissor construction of supporting bar and guide bar with a common pivot, which enables a vertical movement of the pressure element in direction F;
• at a front end of each segment pusher, via pivot, a lifting flap with a corresponding cylinder is oscillatingly attached so that it can be lifted and lowered, whereby the lifting flap in its lowered position rests on a toothed rack and whereby they together form a contact surface, which is located in a same plane as a pressing height and in this way it is mechanically self-locking.
