Abstract: An improved method for producing via a machine an assembled furniture item such as a drawer or box-shaped enclosure from individual panels is described. The method has the steps of holding a first and second panel so that these panels are spaced and parallel to each other; holding a third and fourth panel, in close proximity to the first and second panels, so that the third and fourth panels are spaced apart, parallel to each other, and on planes orthogonal to the lying planes of the first and second panels, and moving the first and/or second panel and/or third and fourth panels so that the edges of the first, second, third and fourth panels contact each other forming the drawer or box-shaped enclosure.

Abstract: An improved factory method for producing a complete furniture item starting from panels that can be joined together, is described. The method steps are picking up the set of panels divided into N sub-sets from a storage (10) of panels, N>=2, bringing the N sub-sets of panels respectively to N workstations (54, 20 56, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74) operating in tandem, loading—e.g. simultaneously—a subset of panels in each N-th station, and preferably subject them to processing there; transferring the panels of an Nth station to the next Nth station (54, 56, 64, 66, 68, 70), preferably for another processing, transferring all the panels of the set from the last of the N stations to an assembly station (72) and assemble them there to obtain the shell or cabinet.

Abstract: A method for mounting on a clamp parts or profiles in a processing center provided with a supporting frame for a turntable, comprising a robot for the loading/unloading of the profiles to be worked and of the subsequently worked profiles. The method provides for the steps of inserting the profile to be worked, by means of the robot, in a region arranged below at least one first open clamp; resting the profile to be worked on at least one first lower fixed reference, resting the profile to be worked on a second and/or third front fixed reference, resting the profile to be worked on at least one fourth lateral fixed reference, laterally closing the profile to be worked and then upper closing of the profile to be worked.

Abstract: An operation method is described for a numerical control tooling machine comprising a piece-carrying table rotatable about a—in use—vertical axis and N machining stations, N?2, arranged around the table, with the steps of rotating the table to bring a piece in front of a station, disconnecting the piece from the table, transferring the piece from the table to the station, fixing the piece to the station, processing the piece at the station, disconnecting the piece from the station, transferring the piece from the station to the table, fixing the piece to the table, rotating the table to bring the piece in front of a different station or unloading the piece from the table.

Abstract: An improved numerical control tool machine is described comprising: a table turnable about an—in use—vertical axis, N processing stations, N?2, arranged around the table, a support for a workpiece, the support being connected to the table for reaching in sequence the N stations and making the piece be processed thereat, comprising locking members for retaining the piece on itself during all the operations performed at the N stations, means (50, 60) for connecting the support to the table or releasing it depending on the state of a control input.

Abstract: A machining center equipped with a device for mounting on a clamp parts to be worked or which have been worked, such as profiles, which has a supporting frame for supporting a turntable with two or more stepped positions or placements or workstations, an loading basket and an unloading basket. The machining center comprises a robot configured to remove or to associate, with each one of said two or more stepped positions or placements or workstations, the parts or the profiles to be worked and which have been worked at a plurality of fixed RPS or reference points and mobile mechanical components, according to a single positioning that is adapted to allow access by machining devices to any zone in the space of the profiles to be worked by modifying only the condition that the two or more stepped positions or placements or workstations are in.

Abstract: A workpiece processing system is provided that includes a first carousel rotary conveyor associated with a first plurality of stations through which workpieces are successively rotationally conveyed, a second carousel rotary conveyor associated with a second plurality of stations through which the workpieces are successively rotationally conveyed, and an inter-carousel transport configured to selectively operate in a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the inter-carousel transport is operable to successively transfer the workpieces from the first carousel rotary conveyor to the second carousel rotary conveyor. In the second mode, the inter-carousel transport is operable to successively reorient the workpieces of a selected one of the first carousel rotary conveyor or the second carousel rotary conveyor by approximately 180 degrees of rotation for further successive rotational conveyance of the workpieces through the stations associated with the selected first or second carousel rotary conveyor.
