Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003009951
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention is a compact, low-cost, lightweight, versatile and easy-to-operate, processor-controlled carving and multi-purpose shaping device "PCCMPS machine". The PCCMPS 100 machine that represents one embodiment of the present invention is configured, in part, similarly to common, commercially available portable wood planers and ubiquious laser and ink-jet computer printers, with work pieces 112 fed into the PCCMPS machine in a horizontal direction. The PCCMPS machine includes a motor-powered cutting head 114 that can power detachable bits to drill, cut, shape, and rout a work piece under processor and computer control. The cutting head may be translated, under processor control, back and forth across the surface of the work piece in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the work piece is fed into the PCCMPS machine and moved by motor-powered rollers107-109.
