Abstract
In a method and a system for producing a panel product device, in which a panel pre-product is provided, comprising at least one recess formed in a panel surface and having a delimitation, and at least one insert element is provided, intended for anchoring in at least one of the recesses, the system comprises automated means for inserting the insert element into the recess in the panel pre-product, and automated means for filling an intermediate space between the insert element and the delimitation of the recess with a curable or curing filling fluid. In a method and a system for testing the loading resistance of the connection between the insert element and the recess in the panel surface of the panel pre-product, a variable tensile testing force is applied in an automated manner to the insert element up to a predetermined tensile testing force. Finally, a set of auxiliary assembly tools for use in the production method or system is provided, comprising a covering and positioning device for inserting and positioning the insert element in the recess and a connecting device for releasably connecting the insert element to the covering and positioning device.
