What are industrial size surface planing machines called?

Question:I would imagine that timber yards etc have large versions of portable surface planing machines, but what are they called? I have done a web search but nothing comes up that looks anything like what I'm looking for.

Answers:
Are you thinking of a lathe?

Industrial surface planers or commercial surface planers.

I think it's just called planer.

Distinctions are sometimes made by describing as a table, stationary, industrial or commercial planer.

Try looking for Thicknessers.
