Abstract: A system for transferring flat bodies, wherein an actuating unit transfers the flat bodies in a given direction from a pickup station to an unloading station; a carriage being movable horizontally between the pickup and unloading stations; a pickup member being supported by the first carriage to load blocks of stacked flat bodies at the pickup station; the pickup member having a stop member crosswise to the given direction, and acting as a locator for a block in the given direction; and the actuating unit having a retaining device facing the stop member to limit displacement of the flat bodies on the pickup member during transfer between the pickup and unloading stations.

Abstract: A machine for cutting flat bodies, wherein a fixed first table supports flat bodies to be cut into strips; a straight cutting line, located between an input station and an output station, being travelled by a rotary tool for cutting the flat bodies in a given cutting pattern; and a movable second table being connectable to the first table by connecting means, so as to be rotatable selectively about at least one vertical axis, and so as to slide parallel to the cutting line.

Abstract: A clamping device for a machine for cutting panels, and having a frame in turn having a tubular body; a gripper assembly for gripping the panels; and (for cutting multilayer panels) at least one substantially comb-shaped locating element against which the multilayer panels are positioned; the clamping device being characterized in that said substantially comb-shaped locating element releasably engages, by means of at least one appendix, at least a respective groove integral with the tubular body.

Abstract: A machine for cutting wood panels, and having: a first worktable; a cutting station located along the first worktable and for cutting a first pack of panels along a first horizontal axis; a second worktable downstream from the first worktable and supplied with a second pack defined by a number of third packs of strips formed by cutting the first pack at the cutting station; and a cavity formed between the first worktable and the second worktable. The machine is mainly characterized by having at least one shuttle movable between an idle position outside the cavity, and a loading position wherein the shuttle is located inside the cavity to receive at least one fourth pack of strips formed by cutting the first pack at the cutting station.
