ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for sequenced or simultaneous feeding of a plurality of flitches to a board edger includes a sequencing conveyor for sequenced feeding of flitches in a horizontal first direction, the flitches oriented in a horizontal second direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction, the flitches fed sequentially into first or second adjacent parallel holding locations, a selectively actuable transfer device for selective transfer of a first fitch in the first direction from either of the first or second adjacent parallel holding locations onto a first edger feeder, and a second edger feeder parallel and adjacent to the first edger feeder, the first and second parallel adjacent edger feeders for selective sequential or simultaneous feeding into an edger according to a feed controller for (i) controlling the sequential or simultaneous feeding of the first flitch on the first edger feeder, and (ii) controlling the sequential or simultaneous feeding of a second flitch transferred from the first or second adjacent parallel holding locations onto the second edger feeder, wherein the first and second edger feeders may be fed flitches from the first or second holding locations according to optimizing feed selections made by the feed controller so that the first and second edger feeders may be actuated either sequentially or simultaneously to optimize input of the plurality of flitches into the edger according to optimizing sequencing decisions from the feed controller.
