The workpiece support device in accordance with the invention is characterized in that the belt (20) comprises a plurality of layers extending in the belt's longitudinal direction, at least one of the layers being designed as a flexible layer which, at least in the belt's transverse direction, is less rigid than at least one of the other layers.

Abstract: The invention concerns a processing device for processing workpieces that are preferably made at least partially of wood, wooden materials, plastics or the like, comprising a machine bed and at least one processing unit joined to the machine bed, wherein the machine bed comprises a base body that is made at least in sections of a curable compound. The processing device of the invention is characterised in that the base body and/or at least a part of the processing unit is made at least in sections of cementitious concrete, in particular fibre concrete.

Abstract: The present invention discloses chain links are proposed for the circulating transport chain of a machine tool, which comprise: a pair of rollers which determine the direction of circulation of the chain link by way of the direction in which they roll, over the rollers which is or are placed at a distance from the pair of rollers in the direction of circulation of the chain link and draw a plane as they roll against the roller pair; and a transverse guide, guiding the chain link transverse to its direction of circulation and is either free from rollers transverse to the direction of circulation of the chain link between the pair of rollers or has a transverse guide roller.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for coating a surface of an article (2), including the following steps: providing an article (2), in particular a workpiece, which is to be coated on one surface, and producing a coating on the surface to be coated of the article (2) by means of a coating head (10), in particular an ink-jet head, which has a plurality of outlets (12) for the coating material. The method according to the invention is characterised in that, prior to the production of a coating, a desired gloss value of the coated surface is selected from a gloss scale, preferably measured as a reflectometer value to ISO 2817, and the coating material is ejected out of the outlets (12) onto the surface to be coated in such a way that the selected gloss value of the coated surface is obtained.

Abstract: The invention discloses a process for printing of panel-shaped workpieces, in particular in the region of an edge, in which a section of a panel-shaped workpiece to be printed is subjected first of all to one or a plurality of pre-treatment stages which are selected from a) pre-cleaning, b) degreasing, c) improvement of the adhesion and wetting properties and d) reduction of the electrostatic charge, and in which the pre-treated section to be printed is subsequently printed with a desired pattern, in particular by means of inkjet printing. The invention also provides an apparatus for performing said process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for imprinting a three-dimensional article, in particular a container and/or workpiece, comprising a printing means, in particular an ink-jet printing means, for imprinting a surface of the three-dimensional article, and a conveyor means for bringing about a relative movement between the printing means and the three-dimensional article to be imprinted. The device according to the invention is characterised in that it further has a positioning means which is configured to bring the surface to be imprinted of the three-dimensional article into a predetermined relative relationship to, in particular a predetermined distance from, the printing means.

Abstract: A chain guide for a continuous running transport chain includes chain links with track rollers and guide rollers that correspond to a guide rail with two tracks for the track rollers at a distance from one another and in between a groove profile for the engagement of the guide rollers. The guide rollers are supported by axle bolts that protrude at the chain links and through which the guide rollers protrude. To achieve good vibration damping of the transport chain, magnets are placed at the bottom of the groove profile of the guide rail with the magnetic circuit closing across the free ends of the axle bolts at the chain links across an air gap.
