Process for cutting out panels or the like

A process for cutting panels from a wood fiber board which is provided with a decorative layer having a least length and a width value of the decorative layer which deviates from its original value after it is applied to the wood fiber board, which process employs a board-dividing apparatus exhibiting at least one saw, where the saw is formed by a plurality of saw blades (S1, S2, . . . Sn) which are adjustably spaced in parallel fashion, with the following steps:

• the wood fiber board is aligned with at least one initial camera;
• predetermined points in the decorative layer are recorded by the first camera and a second camera;
• a distance between the points is determined;
• a discrepancy in the width or length value is determined by comparison of the actual position and the desired position of the points;
• a value of the determined discrepancy is placed in relation to the number of the saw blades (Sn);
• parallel spacing of the saw blades (Sn) is modified by the value of the ratio of the discrepancy to the number of saw blades (A/n);
• an orientation of the wood fiber board to the saw is displaced to one side in the amount of one half the determined discrepancy (A);
• and
• the wood fiber board is transported toward the saw for cutting out the panels.

• an orientation of the wood fiber board to the saw is displaced to one side in the amount of one half the determined discrepancy;
• and then
• the wood fiber board is transported toward the saw for cutting out the panels.

A process for cutting panels from a substrate which has a wood base and decorative overlay, wherein said decorative overlay is of a material which has length and width values that deviate from their original values after said decorative overlay is applied to wood base, comprising the steps of:

• storing position information for at least a first and a second point on said substrate, said position information corresponding to a spacing between at least a first and a second saw blade of a saw having a plurality of parallel saw blades used to cut said panels;
• detecting said first and second points on said decorative overlay;
• determining a discrepancy between said first and second points detected on said decorative overlay and said position information stored in said storing step;
• adjusting said spacing between said at least first and second saw blades by a value equal to said discrepancy determined in said determining step divided by a number of saw blades in said saw;
• and
• cutting said panels from said substrate using said saw.
