Hopper Feeder

The operator inserts the wooden boards pre-planed to the finished height into the stacking magazine. The feeder pushes the board exactly into the middle of the clamp. To increase capacity, the feeder can be switched to batch processing, so you can get two or more boards loaded into the clamping station all at once and processed here by the milling cutters.

Clamping Wagon and Linear Guide

The workpiece is clamped in a transport wagon and moved along the milling cutters via the linear guide. The template is scanned under the workpiece on both sides and copied independently by the milling cutters. So not only symmetrical but also asymmetrical shapes are possible. Due to the continuous operation, the LINEAR 2.0 has a high production output.

Milling Devices

Two powerful drives bring the cutters to about 9,000 revolutions. On request, higher speeds are possible.

The two milling cutters shape the individual contour of the workpiece by pneumatic moving it in and out of the template. Depending on which profile or radius the outer edge should have, the cutters are manufactured with the appropriately profiled knives. In most cases, it is possible to use cutters with interchangeable plates, so that the tool costs can be significantly reduced. According to requirements you can use both or only one tool. In addition, with the installation of another pair of milling cutters, it is also possible to realize special designs or attach two different radii in one operation.

The milling devices are easily adjustable in height, so that a certain tolerance range is covered. The mechanically adjustable tool compensation guarantees a consistently good milling pattern even after sharpening the cutters.

Controls

The basic version of the LINEAR 2.0 is equipped with a template control. The machine processes are managed by a Beckhoff PLC. Operation is via switches and a simple display. If required, the speed of the milling motors can be continuously regulated via frequency converters.

A CNC control is of course also optionally available. Here the milling units and the hopper feeder are controlled by servo drives. The milling contour is entered via teach-in or conveniently by CAD file. Thanks to the CNC control, it is no longer necessary to change templates.

Based on Beckhoff components, the WOMAtec control guarantees maximum ease of use, a long service life and easy spare parts availability.

Ejection

The finished shaped workpiece is pushed back into a slide by inserting the new board from into clamping. Here, e.g. a conveyor belt for removal are tied.

Dust Exhaustion

Depending on the milling pattern, it can lead to high chip removal, which should absolutely be removed from the machine interior. For this purpose, at the critical points sufficiently large openings are present, the tubes are merged on the top of the machine for connection to an external stationary or central exhaust. In addition, the housing protects against excessive dust and noise in operator's working area.

Safety Housing

The complete upper part of the machine is covered by a large protective hood whose doors are secured with safety switches. These are integrated in the safety chain of the machine control.

Machine Frame

Thanks to its compact design, the entire system only needs an area of ​​about 2.00 x 1.50 meters. On the stable, welded frame is mounted the solid base plate with milling units and guide for the clamping wagon. Everything on board - electrics and pneumatics are located in the lower part of the machine. Everything on board - electric and pneumatic installations sit in the lower part of the machine. Powder-coated cover panels protect the interior from dirt and ensure a clean look.
