Abstract:
A method for feeding panels (2) to a panel saw machine, comprising the steps of:engaging with a pusher (7) a pack of panels (2) belonging to a vertical stack (17); moving said pack of panels (2) by means of said pusher (7) to an infeed device (8); disengaging the pusher (7) from said pack of panels (2) when the stack of panels (2) is moved to the infeed device (8) and returning said pusher (7) to an initial position; engaging said pack of panels (2) with at least two rollers (8s, 8i) of the infeed device (8) so that said pack of panels (2) is guided between the two rollers (8s, 8i) and moved toward the panel saw machine by at least one of the two rollers (8s, 8i) which is motor-driven; translating vertically a loading table (4), located next to the infeed device (8) and defining a space into which the pack can be deposited; and, feeding the stack to the loading table (4) by means of the infeed device (8).
