Motor power 12 kW (maximum power at 12,000 rpm) 1,000 - 24,000 rpm. Air-cooled motor. Ceramic bearings. Pneumatic tool clamping HSK-F63 type via tool magazine Pneumatically controlled dust extraction hood in two positions Maximum tool weight 7.5 kg.

Working area

1 working area

Workpiece feed

Vertical pressure rollers ensure optimal guidance of the workpiece. Workpiece movement via dual independent clamps. Clamp movement speed 25/90 m/min (closed/open clamps). Left side alignment with pneumatic pressure.

Double clamps

Workpiece feed system with dual clamps enables formatting from all four sides.

Cylinders for workpiece clamping

Cylinders hold workpiece in place and prevent movement during clamp engagement.

Reference stop for workpiece

For workpieces with max. length 1200 mm For workpieces longer than 1200 mm -> Alternative reference stop available upon selection

Manual clamping device for workpiece guidance on left side of machine

Manually movable in Y direction With pneumatic pressure For optimal material feed through machine, the pressing device is equipped with rollers

Pneumatic clamping rollers (front + rear)

Presses workpiece against working table For complete workpiece movement during machining process For precise milling and constant drilling depth (holes, pockets, grooves…)

Height-adjustable lower support roller table

Support rollers in machine center with retraction capability Required for horizontal operations on workpiece edge Required for dowel insertion in X direction

Ultrasonic workpiece measurement system in X direction

We measure workpiece length and adjust programs accordingly.

Dust extraction system

Dust extraction is centralized with a single outlet for easy connection to the workshop dust extraction system. Dust extraction hose connection: 200 mm. Required air flow for dust extraction: 2850 m³/h (20 m/s, 1000 Pa) Additional connection diameter 100 mm for cleaning the workpiece during machining on the table.

Guide lubrication

Automatically centralized.

Protection

The machine is enclosed with a frame, with microswitches on the doors. Start of work programs with simultaneous confirmation of two buttons.

Control

Control is implemented via personal computer. Monitor and keyboard are positioned on the front side of the frame. The computer is composed of the following components: HARD DISK, 24" VIDEO LCD MONITOR, DVD-RW, operating system WINDOWS 7, LAN NETWORK CARD, 2xUSB, connection at the monitor.

Additional programs

WOOD FLASH program for machine control in Slovenian language. 2 licenses, one for the computer on the machine and one for an additional computer. WSC program for starting work programs and selecting work mode. 2D simulator Program for setting parameters of all tools and program for tool positioning on the machine. Graphical CAD/CAM editor for preparing work programs (TPA CAD) GENERAL MACROS / SUBROUTINES for simple execution of various types of machining (from milling arbitrary shapes to cabinet side machining). Parametric program for manufacturing INTERIOR DOORS with included functions for rough and fine formatting, grooving and bottom machining, creation of grooves for locks, handles and cylinders, all types of hinges, openings for ventilation, hooks and various types of closures. Programs are specially prepared for left and right doors. Program for creating inscriptions and recesses/cleaning of arbitrary contours. Use of 300 parameters per program for creating smart custom solutions. Unlimited DXF format import from other programs. Graphical 3D display of all programs. Other characteristics of the program editor: - CAD commands (rotation, movement, repetitions, contour drawing in polyline or spline form, drawing assistance) - Inscription milling (all TrueType fonts from the computer) - Emptying of arbitrary contours with arbitrary tools (strategy selection) - Enlargement and reduction of contours - Setting logical conditions in the program - Use of up to 300 parameters/variables (+ additional parameters via subroutine import) - Interpolation of milling paths (curve smoothing) - Adding virtual/imaginary planes at arbitrary positions, which simplify the use of angle units - Use of subroutines (nesting of machining operations) - Setting optimization of machining operations (sequence for shorter machining time)

Remote service

TELESERVICE package via Internet: Enables connection between the machine computer and the service center, allowing direct and rapid interventions on machine parameters, on individual work programs and installation of possible newer program versions. Internet line connection to the machine computer is required.

Included accessories

Machine operation and maintenance instructions in Slovenian language. Electrical and pneumatic diagrams. Spare parts manual. Complete set of keys. Manual pump for lubricating the drilling unit and manual pump for adding grease to the automatic guide lubrication system.

Included tools

HSK-F63 clamping head (1 piece - right) Collet for clamping router bit with diameter of choice (1 piece) 10 drills of choice (typical diameters 5, 8, 35 mm) Rod diamond cutter (1 piece, diameter 18 mm, working height 43 mm)

MACHINE ADVANTAGES

Overview – advantages: Machining process from above (as on a conventional CNC machine) Machine is built as a CNC portal machine Classical work units from existing CNC portal machines 4-sided formatting (maximum 5 mm removal at edge) We can machine up to 5 surfaces of the workpiece at once Entire working field is covered by both work units (milling/drilling/sawing/insertion) Reference guide for alignment on the right side with manual clamping device for complete positioning of panels Accurate horizontal transport of pieces No time loss for setup and positioning of workpieces (NO vacuum grippers) Centralized dust extraction with switching between machining operations Small space requirement - only 5 m² Simple and intuitive control with WoodFlash program Communication with external programs via postprocessors
