Abstract

The invention relates to a method for machining a workpiece, in particular for a profiled leaf element of a window leaf frame, wherein the workpiece is initially machined using a first machining device in order to create a machined first surface to which an adhesive tape is to be applied, and the workpiece is further machined once the adhesive tape has been applied.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for machining a workpiece for a profiled leaf element of a window leaf frame, the method comprising:
in a first step, machining the workpiece using a first machining device to produce a machined first surface and a machined second surface,
in a second step, applying an adhesive to the first surface,
in a third step, machining the workpiece further using a second machining device after applying the adhesive,
wherein the second surface is adjacent to the first surface, wherein the second surface is arranged such that it corresponds substantially to a shadow area of the adhesive applied to the first surface, wherein the shadow area of the adhesive is an area on the second surface which would be obscured by the adhesive when viewing the second surface from an orthogonal vantage point.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the first step is carried out in such a way that the first surface is machined to a final dimension as a result.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2 ,
wherein the first step is carried out in such a way that the second surface is machined to a final dimension as a result.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the third step includes machining of at least individual remaining surfaces of the workpiece to final dimension.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4 ,
wherein the third step is carried out in one machining operation or multiple machining operations.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the first step is carried out on a planing machine or a milling machine.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the third step is carried out on a profiling machine or on a machining center.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein, between the first and second steps, the method further comprises cleaning the first surface of the workpiece is pre-treated or cleaned using a cleaning device.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the second step is carried out automatically by a laminating device or an application device.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 ,
wherein the first machining device and the laminating device or application device are coupled or connected to one another, in order to combine the production of the first surface and the application of the adhesive to the first surface with one another.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9 ,
wherein the laminating device or application device and the second machining device are coupled or connected to one another, in order to combine the application of the adhesive to the first surface and the further machining with one another.

12. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the adhesive has or is an adhesive tape.

13. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the adhesive has or is an adhesive compound which is a pasty or fluid adhesive compound.

14. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the workpiece is at least partly miter-sawn or miter-milled to permit the workpiece to be mitered to a second workpiece.
