Study on CNC System for Concave-Convex Surface Processing of Antique Style Flooring

Abstract

As a new emerging kind of flooring, antique style flooring has been warmly welcomed by the market. The production of the flooring is produced through artificial processing only and result in some problems. In this paper, a new patented CNC grinding system is introduced, which makes it possible to process concave-convex surface on flooring automatically. There were two major points in developing the system. Firstly, the concave-convex surface processed by this system must have the same visual effects as those processed in artificial way, denting and protruding randomly and maintaining the natural beauty of wood. Secondly, efficiency was another key point for this system. Research goal was to realize the continuous processing, so that more products could be obtained in a shorter time. Test results show that the system could achieve the original design purpose thus providing with a new technology for concave-convex surface processing of antique style flooring.
