Abstract:
A method for manufacturing plywood includes receiving a face sheet on a main conveyor and feeding a plurality of pieces of core veneer onto a veneer conveyor by an automated core veneer feeder. The method also includes removing one or more of the plurality of pieces of core veneer from the veneer conveyor and placing the one or more of the plurality of pieces of core veneer onto the face sheet.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for manufacturing plywood, comprising:\n receiving a face sheet on a main conveyor; feeding a plurality of pieces of core veneer onto a veneer conveyor; detecting each of the plurality of pieces of core veneer on the veneer conveyor by one or more sensors in the veneer conveyor; calculating, by a processor based on data received from the one or more sensors, a position and a size of each of the plurality of pieces of core veneer on the veneer conveyor; aligning the plurality of pieces of core veneer by one or more actuators in the veneer conveyor, wherein the one or more actuators are directed by the processor to individually move the each of the plurality of pieces of core veneer on the veneer conveyor in a plurality of directions, wherein the aligning ensures that there are no gaps between adjacent pieces of core veneer and that the adjacent pieces of core veneer do not overlap, removing one or more of the plurality of pieces of core veneer from the veneer conveyor after the one or more of the plurality of pieces of core veneer have been properly aligned; and placing the one or more of the plurality of pieces of core veneer onto the face sheet.
