Patent ID: 8152596

Claim:
An apparatus for deburring a plurality of boards, each of the boards having two burred edges opposite to each other in a first direction, said apparatus comprising: a platform; a first guiding rail unit mounted fixedly on said platform and extending in the first direction; a deburring unit mounted on said first guiding rail unit and including two deburring members spaced apart from each other in the first direction; a second guiding rail unit mounted fixedly on said platform, disposed above said first guiding rail unit and between said deburring members, and extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a carrying unit adapted for carrying the boards thereon, mounted movably on said second guiding rail unit, and movable along said second guiding rail unit on said platform between a loading/unloading zone, where said carrying unit is spaced apart from said deburring unit, and a processing zone, where said carrying unit is disposed between said deburring members so that the burred edges of each of the boards carried on said carrying unit contact respectively said deburring members of said deburring unit; and a driving unit disposed on said platform and operable so as to drive said carrying unit to move between the loading/unloading zone and the processing zone, said driving unit being further operable so as to drive said carrying unit to move back and forth in the second direction within the processing zone a predetermined number of times such that said deburring members of said deburring unit are in frictional contact with the boards, thereby deburring the boards.
