Abstract: A device for providing edge bands has a storing unit having individual storage places, which are designed to be at least indirectly loaded with edge bands, in particular edge bands that each form an edge roller at least in some portions. The storing unit is arranged to be linearly movable in or on a base frame such that a selected edge roller can be moved into a working position in which the edge band located on the edge roller can be taken over by an edge feed of an edge banding machine. A portion of an edge band, in particular a portion unwound from an edge roller, can be separated at a cutting position in the region of the working position by means of at least one cutting arrangement.

Abstract: A head station including at least two identical processing units supplied respectively with at least one identical input datastream in order to generate an output datastream, and an output bus system connected to the processing units for the exchange of output datastreams and status data generated in each of the processing units is provided. Additionally, within the head station, several decision circuits connected to the output bus system are provided for the selection of the output datastream to be transmitted in each processing unit in each case to a transmitter system.
