Abstract
This paper introduces the novel concept for a profile-independent wood-moulding machine. The concept aims to eliminate tooling and set-up costs of conventional wood moulders in short production runs. The designed prototype and its expected performance in terms of production rate and product quality are outlined. The prototype is modelled and the contouring control algorithm is presented. It is shown through simulation that the target production rate and product quality can be achieved.
