All-Directional Profiling Machine with Tiltable Workbench
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing woodworking machines require repetitive mounting and demounting of workpieces to achieve different angles for cutting oblique surfaces, leading to time-consuming and imprecise operations due to potential deviations in the processing center.
Innovation Solution
An all-directional profiling machine with a profiling device that includes a pivotally connected base and workbench, allowing for simultaneous adjustment of angles without demounting the workpiece, using a profiling component with an axle unit and an upright post for precise multi-angle cutting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the workpiece is mounted and demounted repeatedly to adjust angles for cutting oblique surfaces, then different angles can be achieved, but operation time increases and processing precision decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The workbench is designed with a tilting mechanism that allows dynamic angle adjustment during operation. The workbench can be tilted to different angles and fixed at each position, enabling the knife to cut oblique surfaces at various angles without remounting the workpiece. This dynamic adjustment capability resolves the contradiction by maintaining versatility while eliminating repeated mounting operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The workbench serves multiple functions: it can be positioned horizontally for standard cutting and tilted to various angles for oblique surface cutting. This multi-functionality allows a single workpiece mounting to accommodate different cutting angles, thereby reducing operation time while maintaining adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the workpiece is mounted and demounted repeatedly to adjust angles for cutting oblique surfaces, then different angles can be achieved, but processing precision decreases due to deviation of processing center
Solution Approach 1:
The tiltable workbench allows the processing center to remain fixed on the workpiece while the cutting angle changes. By tilting the workbench instead of remounting the workpiece, the processing center deviation is eliminated, thereby maintaining manufacturing precision while achieving versatility in cutting angles.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the workpiece is mounted and demounted repeatedly to cut multiple oblique surfaces, then all surfaces can be processed, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The workbench's tilting capability allows operators to cut multiple oblique surfaces by simply adjusting the workbench angle, rather than repeatedly mounting and demounting the workpiece. This dynamic adjustment simplifies the operation process while maintaining the ability to process multiple surfaces at different angles.

AI summary
An all-directional profiling machine has a foundation. A profiling device is disposed on the foundation. The profiling device swings leftward and rightward at the same height relative to the foundation. An upright post is disposed at one end of the profiling device and has a terminal portion extending upward. A workbench is pivotally connected to the terminal portion of the upright post. The workbench tilts vertically and swings horizontally relative to the upright post. Therefore, the all-directional profiling machine performs a multi-angle profiling cutting process without demounting a workpiece repeatedly such that the processing of oblique surfaces is quicker, simpler and more precise, so as to not only meet various requirements of different processing angles but also feature enhanced processing efficiency.
