Abstract
A repair device for repairing a defect in a wooden workpiece includes: a setting punch for inserting a repair patch into a recess formed in a wooden workpiece; a feed device for feeding the repair patches to the setting punch; and a detector for detecting the orientation of the repair patch with the aid of a marking arranged on the repair patch. A rotary device may be used for rotating the repair patch about a rotational axis. The detector may include a first sensor and a second sensor, which are arranged at the repair device in such a way that they are used for detecting the marking of detection regions disposed at a distance from one another, the marking being arranged on the repair patch.

A repair device for repairing a defect in a wooden workpiece, said device comprising:
- a setting punch for inserting a repair patch into a recess formed in the wooden workpiece;
- a feed device for feeding the repair patch to the setting punch;
- a detector for detecting an orientation of the repair patch with the aid of a marking arranged on the repair patch;
- and
- a rotary device operable to rotate the repair patch about a rotational axis, and
- wherein the detector includes a first sensor and a second sensor, which are arranged for detecting the marking at a first detection region and a second detection region disposed at a distance from one another.
A method for repairing a defect in a wooden workpiece by using a repair device, the method comprising:
- feeding a repair patch to a setting punch;
- rotating the repair patch about a rotational axis while simultaneously detecting, by a detector, a surface of the repair patch, said surface having a marking that indicates a grain direction of the repair patch, wherein a first sensor of the detector detects the surface of the repair patch at a first detection region and a second sensor of the detector detects the surface of the repair patch at a second detection region, wherein the first and second detection regions are disposed at a distance from one another, wherein the grain direction of the repair patch is determined when the first sensor and the second sensor both detect the marking arranged on the repair patch.
