| (54) | A panel edge machining unit |
| (57) A unit for machining edges of panels (1) envisages two operating units (6, 7) controlled
by means (8) which adjust and drive the units themselves and which comprise a respective
structure (9, 10) that moves in both directions along an axis (Z) which is inclined
with respect to a panel (1) feed line (L) and along a plane which is parallel to a
vertical plane (V). Each structure (9, 10) is pivoted at (U1; U2) so as to enable the structures (9, 10) to swing in both directions in such a way as to drive each unit (6, 7) along defined straight and arched paths and in such a way as to define on the panel (1) two or more working positions, in permanent contact with the panel, such that both the units (6, 7), cause a band (4) applied to the edge (1b) to copy the shape of the edge itself. |
