The invention discloses a process for printing of panel-shaped workpieces, in particular in the region of an edge, in which a section of a panel-shaped workpiece to be printed is subjected first of all to one or a plurality of pre-treatment stages which are selected from a) pre-cleaning, b) degreasing, c) improvement of the adhesion and wetting properties and d) reduction of the electrostatic charge, and in which the pre-treated section to be printed is subsequently printed with a desired pattern, in particular by means of inkjet printing. The invention also provides an apparatus for performing said process.

Process and apparatus for the printing of panel-shaped workpieces

The invention relates to a method for imprinting a three-dimensional article, in particular a container and/or workpiece, and comprises utilizing a printing means, in particular an ink-jet printing means, for imprinting a surface of the three-dimensional article, and a conveyor means for bringing about a relative movement between the printing means and the three-dimensional article to be imprinted. The method according to the invention is characterised in that it further utilizes a positioning means which is configured to bring the surface to be imprinted of the three-dimensional article into a predetermined relative relationship to, in particular a predetermined distance from, the printing means.

Method for imprinting a three-dimensional article

The invention relates to a device () for patterning workpieces (), which preferably consist at least partially of wood, wood materials or the like, having an ink-jet printing means () having a plurality of nozzles () from which drops of ink can be expelled, a workpiece carrier means () for carrying the workpiece () to be patterned, a conveyor device for bringing about a relative movement between the workpiece () to be patterned and the printing means (). The device according to the invention is characterised in that it further has at least one image detection sensor ().

Device for patterning workpieces

This invention concerns a processing machine, particularly for panel-shaped workpieces of wood or wood materials, which consists of: one or more processing stations which essentially lie in the same plane; at least one working unit which can travel over the work stations in three axes perpendicular to one another, and, a number of bearing rails upon which the displaceable carriage units are arranged in the plane of the work stations. The bearing rails have electrical and pneumatic supply interfaces for the carriage units and the supply interfaces are arranged linearly along the longitudinal direction of the bearing rail.
