Abstract: In a method and assembly for trimming a stack of veneer sheets, both lengthwise and transverse cutting lines are determined in advance by means of a director light projecting a line. The position data of the determined line are processed by a computer to control the feed to a cutting plane. Alternatively, the cutting lines are marked. The stack is firmly clamped between conveyor belts of a mechanism by which, after the first lengthwise trimming, the stack is turned upside down, after the same procedure for determining the cutting line, fed to the cutting plane. The transverse trimming is effected in similar fashion.

Abstract: The weighing apparatus is of the conveyor type and is supplied by a forwarding conveyor from which products are transferred, by a transfer conveyor to the weighing conveyor and from there to a discharge conveyor. The apparatus weighs only selected ones of the products arriving on the forwarding conveyor; and, for this purpose, comprises a support conveyor to support the selected articles while in transfer to prevent their coming into contact with the weighing conveyor.
