Abstract (EN): A method for evaluating the influence of the operating parameters of wood machining (planing, sanding) on the quality of a finished surface was established. The influence of each of the operations involved was studied using different strategies. For the planing operation, three levels were established (Level 1, 2 and 3) by determining different values for each of the major process parameters (tool rotation speed, feed speed, depth of cut). For both, surface preparation and polishing, two levels were established with a fixed setup. Finally, as finishing products, two different transparent coatings were selected (water-borne and solvent-borne). The quantitative evaluation of the state of the surface was assessed by means of an artificial vision system for the determination of the pseudo-roughness of wood surfaces. A filtering method based on fast Fourier transforms was applied and it was possible to derive three criteria for evaluating the resulting profile.
