¡ Infeed system (length machine)

§ Guiding fence on fixed machine side and spring loaded rollers on movable machine side guarantee a tension free infeed of (even banana shaped) planks § Guiding along the fence until clamping between chain and top pressure beam § Option: Driven belt with spring loaded rollers à without creating high tension or friction à guarantees long life cycle of the chain pads
