Abstract: The invention relates to a method for identifying workpieces, which preferably consist at least partly of wood, wood materials or the like, in a machining process, having the steps of: detecting at least one workpiece property prior to a machining step, uniquely assigning a workpiece category to the workpiece using the at least one detected workpiece property, and machining the workpiece in the machining step which is determined by the assigned workpiece category of the workpiece.

Abstract: The invention relates to a printing device (10) for printing a surface (12), in particular the surface (12) of a workpiece (11) made at least partly of wood, a wood material, synthetic material, composite material or the like, comprising an ink supply device (17) which has at least two ink containers (21), each holding a printing ink (19), and an ink feed system (24) by means of which the printing inks (19) can be supplied to at least one print head (18), in order to carry out a printing process with at least one of the printing inks (19), wherein a flushing device (32) is provided, by means of which at least the ink feed system (24) and/or the at least one print head (18) can be flushed with a flushing liquid (33) for a printing ink change, and to a method for changing printing inks (19) in a printing device (10).

Abstract: A method is for printing on a narrow face of a workpiece, in which surface information relating to at least some regions of at least one workpiece face adjoining the narrow face to be printed on is optically captured by a sensor device, the captured surface information is transferred to a print controller, and the print controller ascertains print information for controlling a printing unit on the basis of the captured surface information. The print information is used to control a printing process by which a narrow face decoration, which is matched to a decoration flow of the optically captured workpiece face, is printed on the narrow face.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes a pre-treatment device for pre-treating a surface to be coated, a device for inducing a relative movement between the pre-treatment device and the workpiece, and at least one printing device. The printing device can include at least one digital print head. The pre-treatment device is configured to apply a pre-treatment material to the surface of the workpiece to be printed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system (1) for machining workpieces, which preferably consist, at least in some sections, of wood, wood materials, plastic or the like, which system comprises a machining device (10) for carrying out the workpiece machining, which machining device has a remote data transfer interface (12), and a terminal (20), which has a remote data transfer interface (22), which is designed to communicate with the remote data transfer interface (12) of the machining device (10) by means of a remote data connection (30). The system is characterized in that the terminal (20) is designed to receive operating commands of a user and to forward said operating commands to the machining device (10) via the remote data transfer interface (22).

Abstract: System (1) for sharing device-related data by means of remote data transmission, in particular machining-specific parameters, of machining devices (30, 35), in particular wood machining devices, for machining of workpieces preferably consisting at least in sections of wood, wood material, synthetic material and/or glass, comprising: a main computer (15) for creating and providing a database (10) in which the device-related data can be managed, a first workstation (20) of a first machining device (30) which can be connected to the main computer (15) via a data communication link, and a second workstation (25) of a second machining device (35) which can be connected to the main computer via a data communication link, with device-related data being able to be stored in the database (10) of the main computer (15) by at least one of the two workstations (20, 25) and thereby being able to be made available for the other of the two workstations (20, 25).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for coating and identifying workpieces which preferably consist at least to some extent of wood, wood materials or the like. For this purpose, a curable liquid is used, preferably comprising ink, which, when cured, contains readable information or can receive said readable information.

Abstract: Machining apparatus (2), in particular wide-belt sander for machining preferably board-type workpieces (W) preferably made at least in part of wood, engineered wood and/or plastic, comprising at least one light signal display device (10) which displays information on the machining apparatus (2) in such a way that the information displayed by the light signal display device (10) is visible to an operator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method which has applications in the furniture and component industry. In particular, planar workpieces are coated in order to adapt their exteriors to the wishes of individual customers. A curable substance is applied and a three-dimensional structure is thus produced, at least partially in the region of the narrow side surface layer.
