PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To synchronize the rotations of all of the eccentric shafts such that all eccentric shafts rotate at substantially the same angular velocity in the same positional phase in order to coordinate the movement of multiple platens. SOLUTION: The manufactured wood products press includes a first drive shaft 120 coupled to a first platen 90 and a second drive shaft 120 coupled to a second platen 90. The first and second platens are disposed within the manufactured wood products press in an opposed manner. The timing assembly includes a housing and a plurality of timing gears disposed within the housing. The plurality of timing gears are operatively connected to the first and second drive shafts for simultaneously driving the first and second drive shafts in an eccentric path.
