Abstract
A facility for repairing flaws in pieces of wood (3) has a device (13) for recognizing and surveying the flaws, has a conveyor device (1), which receives the pieces of wood (3) to be repaired in a manner correct for processing, and has tools, which are displaceable in multiple axes in relation to the pieces of wood (3) on the conveyor device (1), for repairing the flaws. To ensure advantageous design conditions, the conveyor device (1) forms a collar, which revolves about at least one vertical axis, made of receptacle segments (2) which hold the pieces of wood (3) in a vertical processing location, and the receptacle segments (2) are provided with the tools, which are displaceable in multiple axes, for repairing the flaws.
