System for machining wood shapes has the workpiece held on a parallel kinematic support frame and moved onto a fixed position milling tool

摘要

A system for machining shapes in pieces of wood, plastic or other materials, has the workpiece held on a support platform mounted in a parallel kinematic support frame and moved onto a rotating milling tool held on a fixed mounting. The workpiece is tilted and moved to achieve the programmed shaping. Several tools can be used, fitted to separate spindles on extending mounting to bring selected tools into the working position, to save time on tool changing.
