ABSTRACT:
A Dual Automated Clamp Carrier provides an apparatus which enables three different activities to be conducted simultaneously at three different levels of the apparatus. The upper level is the location at which clamps previously tightened for gluing panels of wood are untightened automatically. The mid level is the location where the completed panels are removed from the clamps from the loosened clamps and panel segments coated with moist glue are positioned in the clamp for clamping and processing. The lower level is the location where the clamps are automatically tightened. Appropriate support elements for the upper and lower levels allow a carriage including a powered clamp tightener/loosener wrench to be automatically positioned to engage each of the clamps to loosen or tighten the clamps as necessary. The lower carriage also includes an apparatus to flatten the panel segments in each clamp as the clamps are tightened.
