Abstract
In a board positioning device for longitudinally positioning a board translating in a first direction at a translation speed on a board translating device, wherein the board translating in the first direction is aligned along its length in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and the board is urged by board ending rolls in the second direction against a board positioning member on the board positioning device, wherein the first and second directions lie in a generally horizontal plane, the board positioning device includes (a) a selectively actuable guide member cooperating with the board positioning member for selectively actuably guiding and positioning in the second direction the board positioning member, and (b) a board positioning member translating apparatus for translating the board positioning member in the first direction at the translation speed in cooperative alignment with the board, wherein the board is urged against the board positioning member by the board ending rolls and the board positioning member selectively positioned at a board optimizing position to thereby selectively position the board in the second direction at an optimized board positio…
