Abstract:
1. A process for the manufacture of a decorative board with joining edges; said process comprising providing a décor layer and at least one paper layer impregnated with a thermosetting resin on a base layer; using a first camera array to detect position of décor sections on the décor layer; generating a first data input, using said first data input to accurately guide positioning of a press plate or press foil on top of the décor layer; laminating the décor layer, paper layer and base onto the board layer under heat and pressure to obtain a laminated board with surface structure in register with the décor sections of the décor layer; machining at least an edge of the board; detecting the quality of a décor section on the décor layer of the laminated board with a second camera array by sensing a color with at least one color camera and by sensing the surface structure with at least one reflection camera and comparing the data input from the color camera and reflection camera in a control computer for evaluation of alignment between décor and surface structure; sending data obtained from the first camera to a computer; and utilizing the computer to guide a tool to machine an edge of the board.
