Description
The world of window production is currently in a state of upheaval: New
corner connections are on the way in, while the variety of measurements,
shapes and profiles is growing all the time. Whether in the cabinet shop
or on the factory floor - window producers have to keep in step with
developments by introducing a far greater degree of flexibility. Those
prepared to embrace innovative, more streamlined production methods will
gain an enormous edge in this competitive market. Homag's CNC-controlled
stationary technology for complete workpiece processing opens up whole
new market perspectives. This highly flexible technique offers a whole
series of convincing benefits over traditional throughfeed processing
methods.
Unlimited variety
With Homag routers Genius BOF 411 and 311, producers have all types of
modern window corner connections at their fingertips. The machines
process the individual window elements completely prior to gluing and
surface treatment. Even highly complex special shapes can be produced
with minimum complication - including for example trapezoidal,
triangular, round arched or segmental arched windows. Variable
programming with graphic support using WoodWOP reduces the necessary
data inputs to just a few parameters. And for those who still find this
too much the WoodWOP "Window" interface permits troublefree data
transfer from trade-supplied standard window software.
The easy way
Individual parts are considerably easier to handle and take up far less
space than complete frames. Work steps are performed on the individual
workpieces: the finished window does not come into being until the final
assembly stage. All of which means a reduction of your warehousing and
production costs - less handling, higher output. You save time-consuming
sorting and marking processes: All the parts for a particular order are
produced on a just-in-time basis and are always kept together. Special
drillholes for locating pegs, screws etc. are made at the same time;
locking hardware can be recessed or automatically marked. With all these
benefits, the manufacture of windows with 4 mm rebate clearance becomes
a viable proposition again. |
Optimum weather protection
Another benefit of this production method: Because each wooden element
is individually lacquered on all sides prior to gluing, the critical
grain end is reliably protected against the ingress of moisture.
Today windows, tomorrow doors, and the day after...
Needless to say, producing windows is not the only thing your router is
capable of. It is also in the market for the complete processing of
doors. "Complete" in this context means ready prepared to fit a
letterbox system, for glass lights, hardware, rebate, lock case, lock
plate and so on. It can also produce frames and other construction
elements for conservatories. Or stairs. Or wall elements. Or furniture
components... the list is endless. In any customary type of material
from solid wood through chipboard, MDF and coreboard to plastics.
Optionally also with edge banding and processing. All with outstanding
economy - whether for whole series or one-off production. |
The Interface
Router Optimat BOF 211 - The Interface
The open-ended, three-dimensional interface offers unlimited scope for
the application of units:
- Power transmission –
with controlled spindles for powerful drive even at only low speeds
(14.5 KW)
- C axis -
rotation of units around their own axis up to 360 degrees (option)
- Pneumatic transmission -
e.g. for intermittent unit control
All units can be exchanged into the working spindle via the interface
from a magazine. The 12 kW working spindle is required to fulfil a wide
variety of functions, and is equipped with the very best that modern
technology has to offer:
- Water cooling for optimum machine function
- Hybrid bearings (ceramic) = less friction, double the service life,
maximum precision
- Four-dimensional interface for all conceivable unit functions and
simple future upgrading.
- Maximum static and dynamic rigidity, ensuring a high degree of
exchange and repeat accuracy
- Standardized tool interface HSK F63 |
The modular processing units
A wide selection of units is available to cover a comprehensive range of
processing requirements. The system is continuously further developed
and extended, and is designed to offer unlimited scope for future
upgrading. To find out more, simply ask us. |
