In order to further develop a process for making a groove in a board-like workpiece by means of a processing machine, wherein the workpiece is placed on a supporting table of the processing machine aligned essentially horizontal for holding the workpiece in a machining plane and wherein a milling unit held on a machining head of the processing machine is displaced and a groove is thereby milled into a workpiece by means of a milling disk rotating about a drive shaft aligned parallel to the machining plane, in such a manner that the groove can be milled more precisely with a defined groove depth it is suggested in accordance with the invention that the milling unit be guided at right angles to the machining plane by means of a touch roller associated with the milling disk and adapted to roll on the workpiece. In addition, a processing machine for carrying out the process is suggested as well as the use of the processing machine for the milling of a groove into a multilayered or composite material board.
Process for the milling of a groove into a board-like workpiece by means of a processing machine, wherein the workpiece is placed on a supporting table of the processing machine aligned essentially horizontal for holding said workpiece in a machining plane and wherein a milling unit held on a machining head of the processing machine is displaced and a groove is thereby milled into the workpiece by means of a milling disk rotating about a drive shaft aligned parallel to the machining plane, characterized in that the milling unit is guided at right angles to the direction of machining by means of a touch roller associated with the milling disk and adapted to roll on the workpiece.
Processing machine for carrying out the process specified above with a supporting table for holding a board-like workpiece in an essentially horizontal machining plane and with a machining head displaceable parallel to the machining plane, a milling unit being held on said head, wherein the milling unit comprises a milling disk rotatable about a drive shaft aligned parallel to the machining plane for milling a groove into the workpiece, characterized in that the milling unit (18) is held on the machining head (16) so as to be continuously displaceable at right angles to the machining plane during the introduction of a groove and that a touch roller (28) adapted to roll on the workpiece is associated with the milling disk (24) for guiding the milling unit, wherein the milling disk (24) projects beyond the edge of the touch roller (28) by the depth of the groove in the contact area of the touch roller (28) on the workpiece.
