Abstract: A press device for coating table board-shaped pieces of furniture on their upper side and side surfaces, whereby the workpieces lie next to each other on a supporting system that has many supporting bolts distributed in a grid-like manner, which can be adjusted between a passive position out of contact with the workpieces and a coating position that supports the workpieces. An elastic membrane is arranged above the supporting bolts, on which the workpieces can be placed. The elastic membrane functions to support the coating film during the coating operation.

Abstract: A method and system for separating component which have two opposed sides and an edge between the opposed sides and are initially connected together by a foil which contacts one of the sides of each component, by: disposing the components and the foil so that portions of the foil which are disposed between components are disposed at an elevation different from the other one of the sides of each component; disposing a scanner to monitor the elevations of the foil and the other one of the sides of each component and monitoring the elevations with the scanner; and converting the monitoring result into data for controlling cutting of the foil along the edge of each component.
