Abstract: A device for fixing an edge material to a narrow side of a panel-shaped workpiece is provided, which has a feed mechanism for supplying the edge material to the narrow side of the workpiece, at least one infrared emitter for activating an adhesive layer, facing the workpiece, of the edge material, and a pressing mechanism for pressing the edge material onto the narrow side of the workpiece. In order to activate the adhesive layer of the edge material by means of infrared radiation using a reliable process without adversely affecting the visible face of the edge material, a radiation exposure zone with a specifiable size is arranged in the feed path of the edge material. In the exposure zone, the adhesive layer of the edge material is exposed to infrared radiation. The device has a guide mechanism for guiding the edge material through the radiation exposure zone.

Abstract: In order to further develop a process for making a groove in a board-like workpiece by means of a processing machine, wherein the workpiece is placed on a supporting table of the processing machine aligned essentially horizontal for holding the workpiece in a machining plane and wherein a milling unit held on a machining head of the processing machine is displaced and a groove is thereby milled into a workpiece by means of a milling disk rotating about a drive shaft aligned parallel to the machining plane, in such a manner that the groove can be milled more precisely with a defined groove depth it is suggested in accordance with the invention that the milling unit be guided at right angles to the machining plane by means of a touch roller associated with the milling disk and adapted to roll on the workpiece. In addition, a processing machine for carrying out the process is suggested as well as the use of the processing machine for the milling of a groove into a multilayered or composite material board.
