Abstract
A method and device for inserting a tongue in an insertion groove in a panel. The method includes displacing a first tongue to an end position of a tongue queue, which comprises tongues under compression, in a tongue queue device, compressing the first tongue, displacing the tongues in the tongue queue by compression forces from the tongues under compression, displacing a second tongue, which is at a front position of the tongue queue, to an inserting device, displacing the second tongue into an insertion groove in a panel by said inserting device.
Claims14
A method for inserting a tongue in an insertion groove in a panel, wherein the method comprises:
- displacing, a first tongue to an end position of a tongue queue, which comprises tongues under compression, in a tongue queue device,
- compressing the first tongue,
- displacing the tongues in the tongue queue at least partly by compression forces from the tongues under compression,
- displacing a second tongue, which is at a front position of the tongue queue, to an inserting device,
- displacing the second tongue into an insertion groove in a panel by said inserting device.
A machine for inserting a tongue in an inserting groove in a panel, the machine comprising
- a tongue queue device, the tongue queue device comprising an upper surface and an opposite lower surface configured to guide tongues from an inlet to an outlet of the tongue queue device.
- wherein the machine comprises a separating device, configured to compress the tongues,
- wherein the tongue queue device is configured such that tongues under compression in a tongue queue are displaced between the inlet and the outlet at least partly by compression forces from the tongues under compression, and
- wherein the machine comprises, at the outlet of the tongue queue device, an inserting device which is configured to displace a tongue into the insertion groove.
